  • Patent number: 6025516
    Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient route to the C-13 side chain of the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel (TAXOL) and its analogs. The process includes the resolution of racemic erythro 2-hydroxy-3-amino-3-phenylpropionamide by diastereomeric crystallization and its conversion via various intermediates to the threo-ethylester and threo-methylester isomers.

  • Patent number: 5965734
    Abstract: Processes and intermediates for preparing 2-substituted piperidines such as 2-substituted d-threo piperidines are provided. In preferred embodiments, the processes of the invention comprise the steps of reacting a 2-substituted pyridine with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst in an alkanoic acid, and adding an alkyl alkanoate to the resulting mixture of threo and erythro 2-piperidine stereoisomers to precipitate alkanoate salts of the erythro stereoisomers preferentially with respect to alkanoate salts of the threo stereoisomers. The erythro salts then are reacted with aqueous base to form the corresponding mixture of erythro amide free bases, which are reacted with a suitable organic acid resolving agent in an alkyl alcohol solvent to form acid salts of the l-erythro stereoisomers preferentially with respect to the d-erythro stereoisomers.
