Synthesis of 7β-Sulfur Analogues of Paclitaxel Utilizing a Novel Epimerization of the 7α-Thiol Group
摘要:
[GRAPHICS]90 degreesCPaclitaxel analogues with a sulfur group at the 7 beta position were required for SAR studies, Attempts to generate these compounds by displacing a 7 alpha leaving group with sulfur nucleophiles were unsuccessful. Instead, these compounds were successfully prepared from a 7 beta -thiol intermediate that was obtained by a base-catalyzed epimerization of the 7 alpha -thiol derivative. The epimerization presumably proceeds through a thioaldehyde intermediate and exhibits the opposite stereochemical preference of its oxygen counterpart.
