10-deacetoxypaclitaxel (9) was accomplished with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid leading to a novel pentacyclic ring system. Hydroxyl directed delivery of the epoxidizing agent did not appear to play a role in the stereoselectivity of the reaction as epoxidation occurred at the β-face of the molecule. 10-Deacetoxy-11,12-epoxypaclitaxel (10) proved to be more active than paclitaxel (1) in the microtubule assembly assay and

苯甲酸完成10-deacetoxybaccatin III(6)和10-deacetoxypaclitaxel(9)中烯烃的环氧化反应,产生了新的五环体系。由于在分子的β-面发生环氧化,因此环氧直接引导的环氧化剂似乎没有在反应的立体选择性中起作用。在微管组装试验中,10 -Deacetoxy-11,12-epoxypaclitaxel(10)比
