E. Caballero et al., SYNTHESIS OF (+ -)-7-(3,4,5-TRIMETHOXYPHENYL)-7-DEOXYIDARUBICINONE - A NEW FAMILY OF ANTHRACYCLINE ANALOGS/, Tetrahedron, 54(22), 1998, pp. 6111-6122
The synthesis of the first representative compound of 7-aryl anthracyc
line analogues, is described. 1-Alkyl-3-trialkylsiloxydienes, prepared
from readily available materials, are transformed through a Diels-Ald
er cycloaddition into a tetracyclic ketone, that is converted into )-7
-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-7-deoxyidarubicinone. The conformations of t
he target compound and intermediate products are studied. (C) 1998 Pub
