Abstract

A series of novel and highly active antitumor agents, 9-hydroxyellipticine glycosides were stereoselectively synthesized in good yields by an improved condensation reaction between 9-acetoxyellipticine and peracylated glycosyl halides using cadmium carbonate, followed by the removal of acyl groups with methanolic ammonia.
