4.1.6. Syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> Taltobulin:<br />

Taltobulin is an anticancer drug which interferes with tubulin function inhibiting <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>of</strong> microtubules that <strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong> microskeleton <strong>of</strong> cells. This process has provided<br />

some valuable antitumor activity. [7]<br />

The syn<strong>the</strong>tic strategy depends on <strong>the</strong> separate syn<strong>the</strong>sis <strong>of</strong> two intermediates and combining<br />

<strong>the</strong>m at <strong>the</strong> final step. One arm <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> syn<strong>the</strong>sis begins with <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> acrylatecontaining<br />

moiety through condensation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> t-BOC protected α-aminoaldehyde derived<br />

from valine with <strong>the</strong> arbethoxymethylene phosporane resulting in <strong>the</strong> amino ester. Removal<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> protecting group is carried out under acidic condition producing <strong>the</strong> free amine. The<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r arm <strong>of</strong> this syn<strong>the</strong>tic strategy starts with condensation <strong>of</strong> that tertiary butyl-substituted<br />
