Abstract

Abstract Reductive cleavage of the C13 side chain of Taxol®(1, paclitaxel) followed by regioselective silylation gave 7-triethylsilylbaccatin III (4). 3-O-Triethylsilylation of 5 and subsequent reaction with benzoyl chloride-C7-14 C gave azetidinone 7. Coupling of 4 and 7 followed by deprotection gave 1.26 g of Taxol®-N3′-14 C (11) having a specific activity of 26.5 mCi/mmol and a radiochemical purity of 95%.
