Abstract
The semisynthesis of Taxol was critical to its development as a drug. This review focuses on methods that have been developed to convert the readily available 10-deacetylbaccatin III (10-DAB) into Taxol, highlighting the various protection schemes used for the phenylisoserine side chain and 10-DAB, along with the methods developed for the conjoining of the side chain to the hindered C-13 hydroxyl of the diterpenoid framework.Entities:
