A process for the synthesis of adriamycin and 7,9-epiadriamycin, both active antineoplastic agents, in which 7-deoxydaunomycinone, in either the 9s or racemic (.+-.) form, is employed as the starting material, the process in one embodiment also being productive of the useful intermediate compound 4-methoxy-6,11-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-5,9(10H),12-naphthacenetrione. The process involves converting 7-deoxydaunomicinone successively to daunomycinone, adriamycinone, 14-0-p-anisyldiphenylmethyladriamycinone and finally to adriamycin or to both adriamycin and 7,9-epiadriamycin. When producing the latter mixture of diastereomers, the 7-deoxydaunomycinone starting material is first converted to racemate form by a process involving the successive production of 7-deoxydaunorubicinol, 4-methoxy-6,11-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-5,9(10H), 12-naphthacenetrione, (.+-.)-4-methoxy-9-cyano-6,9,11-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydro-5,12-naphth acenedione, (.+-.)-4-methoxy-9-cyano-9-(2'-tetrahydropyranyloxy)-6,11-dihydroxy-7,8,9, 10-tetrahydro-5,12-naphthacenedione and (.+-.)-7-deoxydaunomycinone.
一种合成阿霉素和7,9-表阿霉素的过程,两者均为有效的抗肿瘤药剂,其中7-去氧葡萄霉素酮,以9s或racemic (.+-.)形式作为起始物质,该过程在一个实施例中还产生有用的中间化合物4-甲氧基-6,11-二羟基-7,8-二氢-5,9(10H),12-萘酞醌。该过程涉及将7-去氧葡萄霉素酮依次转化为葡萄霉素酮、阿霉素酮、14-0-p-苯甲氧基二苯甲基阿霉素酮,最终转化为阿霉素或阿霉素和7,9-表阿霉素。在生产后一混合二对映异构体时,首先将7-去氧葡萄霉素酮起始物质通过一个过程转化为外消旋体形式,其中包括依次生成7-去氧达诺鲁比信醇、4-甲氧基-6,11-二羟基-7,8-二氢-5,9(10H),12-萘酞醌、(.+-.)-4-甲氧基-9-氰基-6,9,11-三羟基-7,8,9,10-四氢-5,12-萘酞二酮、(.+-.)-4-甲氧基-9-氰基-9-(2'-四氢吡喃氧基)-6,11-二羟基-7,8,9, 10-四氢-5,12-萘酞二酮和(.+-.)-7-去氧葡萄霉素酮。
