Abstract
Epothilone A is metalated at low temperature with an excess of butyllithium preferentially at C19 of the thiazole moiety. After addition of various ca rbon and heteroatom electrophiles the corresponding substitution products w ere obtained. Some of them have similar cytotoxic activity than the startin g material.
