G. Moyna et al., PREPARATION OF AMINATED TAXOL SIDE-CHAIN PRECURSORS - A SIMPLE APPROACH TO 2,3-DIAMINO ACIDS USING THE BETA-LACTAM SYNTHON METHOD, Synthetic communications, 27(9), 1997, pp. 1561-1567
Coupling-ready aminated side chain analog precursors of the anticancer
drug taxol were prepared through the beta-lactam synthon method. The
procedure described represents an easy connection between beta-lactams
and 2,3-diamino acids, is highly stereospecific, and causes no racemi
zation due to vicinal group participation.
