Abstract

Disclosed is a process for preparing the known antitumor glycosides: 4'-epidaunorubicin, 3',4'-diepidaunorubicin, and their doxorubicin analogs by oxidizing the C-4' hydroxyl group of N-protected daunorubicin to form certain novel intermediates having a 4'-keto configuration, followed by reduction of the keto group with NaBH.sub.4 and mild alkaline hydrolysis to remove the N-protecting acyl groups.
