Abstract

Abstract BC ring-systems of taxol with different or no protecting group for the C1, C2-diol moiety have been efficiently synthesized. The eight-membered B ring is formed by a ring- closing metathesis reaction (RCM) between the C10 and C11 carbon atoms. The influence of the 1, 2-diol protecting group on the RCM reaction has been studied in detail.
