Abstract

Reaction of baccatin III and paclitaxel with samarium diiodide yielded the corresponding 10-deacetyl-9β-hydroxy derivatives. When 10-deacetylbaccatin III and docetaxel were subjected to the same reaction conditions the corresponding 9β-hydroxy and 10-dehydroxy-9β-hydroxy analogues were isolated.
