Abstract

The synthesis of four new lignan derivatives 2a, 2b, 3a and 3b related to the anticancer agent etoposide has been accomplished. In these compounds a methylene or ethylene group of a C-glucoside separates the glucosidic moiety as present in etoposide (1) from its lignan aglycone bonded by an ethereal function. The key step in the synthesis involves the reaction of a benzylated alditol 4 or 5 and the unprotected 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin (6).
