2-Amino-4-nitrobenzaldehyde → 2,4-Diaminobenzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to that described for 10-nitro-20(RS)- and 10-nitro-20(S)-camptothecin, a mixture of 2-amino-4-nitrobenzaldehyde is treated with the tricyclic ketone 11 yielding 11-nitro-20(RS)- or 11-nitro-20(S)-camptothecin which in turn is reduced to 11-amino compound camptothecin by palladium/carbon. Alternatively, the 11-amino-20(RS)- or 11-amino-20(S)-camptothecin is obtained by reaction of 2,4-diaminobenzaldehyde with ketone 11.
