| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for the preparation for camptothecin and camptothecin-like compounds and to novel intermediates used in this preparation. In particular, the invention provides a process for the preparation of the camptothecin derivative of formula (I') known by the chemical name "7-(4-methylpiperazino-methylene)-10,11-ethylenedioxy-20(R,S)-camptothecin", which comprises cyclising the compound of formula (II'), wherein X is halogen, particularly chloro, bromo, or iodo; and when the compound of formula (I') is obtained as a mixture of enantiomers optionally resolving the mixture to obtain the desired enantiomer; and/or if desired, converting the resulting compound of formula (I') or a salt thereof into a physiologically acceptable salt or solvate thereof.
