Significance

NSC 5106 (N-acetylcolchinol ­methyl ether) is a degradation product of colchicine that arrests cell mitosis by inhibiting tubulin assembly. The synthesis depicted features (1) an efficient Suzuki-Miyaura coupling to generate the biaryl C and (2) an intramolecular Nicholas reaction (E F) to generate the seven-membered B-ring.
