Process for the preparation of taxane derivatives and intermediates therefor.

摘要

Process for the preparation of taxane derivatives of general formula (I), new derivatives thus obtained and compositions which contain them. In the general formula (I), R represents t-butoxy or phenyl, R1 represents hydrogen or acetyl and Ar represents substituted phenyl or optionally substituted alpha - or beta -naphthyl. The new taxane derivatives are useful as antileukaemic and antitumour agents. <IMAGE>
