Synthesis of deaminocolchinyl methyl ether 9 was achieved from tetramethoxy‐substituted biphenyl‐2‐carb‐aldehyde 12 via tricyclic ketone 20 and 5,6‐didehydro congener 11 . Compound 9 was identical in every respect with material prepared from colchicine via 6,7‐didehydro congener 10 . Measuring inhibition of tubulin polymerization in vitro showed compounds 4 , 5 , and 9 – 11 of the alloseries of colchicinoids to be particularly potent inhibitors.
