5(20)Deoxydocetaxel was prepared from 13-oxo-10-deacetyl baccatin III. This compound is the first docetaxel analogue with a modified D-ring which is as active as paclitaxel off microtubules. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Two novel 5(20)-thia analogues of docetaxel have been synthesized from 10-deacetylbaccatin III or taxine B and isotaxine B. The key step of these syntheses is the concomitant thietane ring formation and acetylation of the tertiary alcohol at C-4. Both compounds are less cytotoxic than docetaxel but have divergent activity on microtubule disassembly.
