Synthesis of ABCtaxoid ring systems via a convergent strategy

TLDR
Intermediates 4 and 5 have been coupled via a Shapiro reaction to afford compound 6 which has been further elaborated to the ABCtaxcid systems 11and 12via a McMurry pinacol cyclization to 11followed by oxidation to 12.

A formal total synthesis of taxol aided by an automated synthesizer.

TL;DR: A 36-step synthesis was carried out in automated synthesizers to provide a synthetic key intermediate of taxol using a microwave-assisted alkylation reaction to construct the ABC ring system from an AC precursor.
