–C10 Stereochemistry Effect–C4 Substituent Effect
• sterically too hindered for directing group chemistry • chemo-,
regio-, stereoselective triple oxidation • substrate directed (C2,
C4, C5, C10) • KIE assisted • solvent and concentration
driven

8. Conclusion • efficient oxidase phase for lowly oxidized taxanes
• represented a blueprint of a medicinal chemistry exploration •
unpredictable chemoselectivity and reactivity for highly
oxygenated taxanes (medium ring, similar FGs, proximity of FGs) •
complex oxidation choreography

3. Step b • regioselective (C5 over C1, 3, 10, 14, 18) • oxidation
placeholder • Δ5,6-olefin precursor (oxidation relay to C7)
Previous substrates necessitated C5 PG
4. Early Stage Oxidations • C13, 5, 10 choreography gave the best
yield • allylic oxidations analogous to previous syntheses:

7. Step j, k
• unreactive Δ9,10-olefin • undesired C10 and C7 stereochemistry •
no suitable PG for C7
(DIBAL, LiAlD4, DMDO, Na)
– Unsuccessful C7 Oxidation Attempts
Step j • highly FG tolerant • chemo-, stereoselective •
orthogonally reactive and
volatile reagents
– Oxidation Relay Step k • highly FG tolerant • novel silane
additive
• C9 directed C7 oxidation (poor reactivity of C9 FGs, steric
hindrance at C7) • Direct C7 allylic oxidation (steric hindrance
atC7)
