Abstract

The structures and synthesis of the four major human metabolites of docetaxel are reported. These metabolites, ie compounds 3, 4ab and 5, are side-chain oxidation derivatives. They were prepared by partial synthesis from the previously described amino-taxoid 8 using mixed-carbonates as acylation reagents. In vitro biological activities are detailed.
