Abstract
Résumé/Abstract An efficient and versatile synthetic route to appropriate dibenzylbutanolides suitable for biotransformation to lignans as potential intermediates for the syntheses of the clinical anti-cancer drug etoposide has been developed. Biotransformation of such substrates, for example 10, with cell cultures of Podophyllum peltatum affords a potentially exciting route to this drug. Of particular significance is the ...
