The retro‐aldol reductive fragmentation of different structural types of 7‐hydroxy‐9,10‐dioxotaxoids was investigated, showing that the reaction is typical of taxanes and requires cerium( III ) promotion with NaBH 4 in protic medium and alkylboron (aluminium) hydrides in aprotic solvents. The resulting 7,8‐ seco ‐taxanes are key intermediates for the synthesis of a novel class of anticancer taxanes endowed with a unique pattern of in vivo biological activity.
