Abstract

Abstract Process for the preparation of a taxol intermediate comprising contacting an alcohol with an oxazinone having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 is aryl, substituted aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl; R 2 is hydrogen, ethoxyethyl, 2,2,2-trichloroethoxymethyl or other hydroxyl protecting group; and R 3 is aryl, substituted aryl, alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl; the contacting of said alcohol and oxazinone being carried out in the presence of a sufficient amount of an activating agent under effective conditions to cause the oxazinone to react with the alcohol to form a β-amido ester which is suitable for use as an intermediate in the synthesis of taxol.
