Synthesis and evaluation of 14-nor-a-secotaxoids

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A series of 14-nor-A-secotaxoids has been prepared from 10-deacetyl-14β-hydroxybaccatin III (3a) and some unexpected and new reactivity of the taxane system has been revealed. The observation that the final compounds were considerably less active than taxol and their 1,10-oxygen-bridged ana-logues shows that the 1,10-oxygen tether can partially compensate for the opening of ring A, and suggests that 14-norA-secotaxoids warrant further investigation as simplified taxol mimics.
