Method for producing starting compound for producing starting compound of synthetic intermediate compound of camptothecin and camptothecin analog

摘要

Compounds of Formula I CHEM are made in accordance with the following scheme: CHEM wherein R may be loweralkyl; R1 may be H, loweralkyl, loweralkoxy, or halo; R2, R3, R4, and R5 may each independently be H, amino, hydroxy, loweralkyl, loweralkoxy, loweralkylthio, di(loweralkyl)amino, cyano, methylenedioxy, formyl, nitro, halo, trifluoromethyl, aminomethyl, azido, amido, hydrazino, or any of the twenty standard amino acids bonded to the A ring via the amino-nitrogen atom; Y is H and W and X are halogen. Also disclosed are novel processes for making starting materials for the scheme given above, and novel intermediates employed in these processes.
