Jp. Pulicani et al., DIRECT ACCESS TO 2-DEBENZOYL TAXOIDS BY ELECTROCHEMISTRY, SYNTHESIS OF 2-MODIFIED DOCETAXEL ANALOGS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(52), 1994, pp. 9717-9720
A new route to semisynthetic 2-modified docetaxel analogs is described
using electrochemical cleavage of the 2-benzoate as the key reaction.
Subsequent reacylation at C-2 followed by sequential deprotections af
forded the title analogs. Biological results of selected 2-docetaxel a
nalogs are presented.
