摘要:
A method for producing 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine, which comprises reacting catharanthine with vindoline in the presence of Fe³⁺, removing or inactivating the Fe³⁺, and reacting the reaction product with a reducing agent. 3',4'-Anhydrovinblastine is useful as an antineoplastic drug.
wherein R¹ and R² independently represent alkyl of 1-6 carbons or cycloalkyl of 4-8 carbons is produced by reacting a m-aminophenol of the general formula of
wherein R¹ and R² are as hereindefined, with phthalic anhydride, in the presence of a controlled amount of an organic solvent to deposit the resultant keto acid in the solvent while effecting the reaction in a slurry.
