Abstract

There is provided a novel process for the production of the epipodophyllotoxin glycosides, Etoposide and Teniposide. There are further provided certain novel 4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin derivatives of the following formula ##STR1## where W is hydrogen or 2,3-di-O-acetyl-4,6,O-ethylidene-D-glucopyran-1-yl. These intermediates are easily transformed into Etoposide and Teniposide and into further derivatives of this series.
