J. Kant et al., DIASTEREOSELECTIVE ADDITION OF GRIGNARD-REAGENTS TO AZETIDINE-2,3-DIONE - SYNTHESIS OF NOVEL TAXOL(R) ANALOGS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(36), 1996, pp. 6495-6498
Synthesis and cytotoxicity properties of novel C-2' analogues of pacli
taxel are described. The analogues were synthesized using Holton's bet
a-lactam approach to append the side chain on baccatin III. The key in
termediate to the synthesis of novel analogues was prepared employing
an unprecedented stereocontrolled addition of Grignard reagent to a ch
iral azetidine-2,3-dione. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
