摘要

Abstract A simple synthesis of (2R, 3S)-phenylisoserine, a precursor of the C-13 side chain of Taxol®(paclitaxel), utilising yeast-catalyzed reduction to generate a second chiral centre is reported. This short enantioselective series of transformations can be readily adapted to large scale production of a variety of N-substituted paclitaxel analogues.
