An Efficient Synthesis of Taxotere Side Chain. -A very short synthesis of the taxotere side chain using Shibasaki's asymmetric Henry reaction as the key step is presented. The overall yield for this three-step access is 34% and the enantiomeric purity is high. -(DEVI, T. J.; SAIKIA, P. P.; BARUA*, N. C.; Lett.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
