Retro-4′-demethyl-4-epipodophyllotoxin 6 was synthesized in eight steps and 10% overall yield from 4′-demethyl-4-epipodophyllotoxin 12. Subsequent coupling of 22 with 1-O-trimethylsilyl-4,6-O-ethylidene-β-D- glucoside 26 afforded retroetoposide 5 which is

The trans-fused γ-lactone ring of etoposide is readily epimerized to its cis epimer, which is biologically inactive, or is metabolized to the inactive ring-opened hydroxy acids. Modification of this γ-lactone ring of 4β- (arylamino)-4'-O-demethyl-4-desoxy
