Abstract
[reaction: see text] Novel C2-C3'N-linked macrocyclic taxoids are synthesized using intramolecular Heck reaction in the key step. Macrocyclization proceeds with high regioselectivity in good yield. Taxoids bearing an olefin moiety at C2 and an iodide at C3'N give exo-products exclusively. However, the endo-products are formed with up to 100% regioselectivity just by switching the positions of the olefin and the iodide moieties. Some of these macrocyclic taxoids are significantly cytotoxic.Entities:
