S. Hanessian et Jy. Sanceau, ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF TAXOL AND TAXOTERE SIDE-CHAINS BY ENOLATE HYDROXYLATION, Canadian journal of chemistry, 74(4), 1996, pp. 621-624
We report an asymmetric synthesis of the taxol and taxotere side chain
s by hydroxylation of enolates derived from N-substitued methyl 3-amin
o-3-phenyl propionate with the oxodiperoxymolybdenum (pyridine) (hexam
ethyl phosphoric triamide) complex (MoOPH).
