The trans ‐epoxide derivative of Combretastatin A‐4 wasstereoselectively prepared in good yield by sulfur ylide mediated epoxidation of silyl‐protected isovanillin. From this key intermediate, a formal synthesis of CA‐4, by stereoselective deoxygenation and photoisomerization, was achieved. Alternatively, a trans ‐dioxolane derivative was obtained bystereoselective acetone insertion.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2009)
