Carboxylic acids for synthesis of taxane derivatives

摘要

Novel carboxylic acids of formula (VI), useful for preparing taxane derivatives of general formula (I) by esterifying protected baccatine (III) or protected diacetyl baccatin (III) with an acid of general formula (II). The products of general formula (I) are particularly useful for preparing taxol, Taxotere and analogs thereof having anti-tumor properties.
