Abstract

An efficient synthetic method for 11-deoxyanthracycline AB synthons is described. A verstile key intemediate vinyl bromide 3 was prepared from 5- methodxy-1-tetralone in three steps, and then was converted to the allylic alcohols 4 and 8 which, in tum, fumished highly fuctionalized AB synthons 7 and 12, respectively, via sequential epoxidation-reduction-protection processes.
