Fragmentations of 13-oxo-taxyunnansin A and their application to preparation of abeo-paclitaxel and abeo-docetaxel analogues
Two interesting unprecedented fragmentations of 13-oxo-taxyunnansin A (3), initiated by treatment with tBuOK and Red-Al, respectively, have been discovered, optimized and successfully applied to the synthesis of novel abeo-paclitaxel and abeo-d
