Abstract
4-Demethoxy-daunomycinone I: ##STR1## the known aglycone of 4-demethoxy-daunorubicin, is prepared by protecting the 13-keto group of 4-demethyldaunomycinone, sulfonylating the 4-hydroxy group, reacting the sulfonylated compound, in an appropriate reducing environment, with a catalytic amount of a transition metal complex, preferably palladium or nickel with 1,3 diphenylphosphinopropane or 1,1'-bis (diphenylphosphino) ferrocene, and eliminating the 13-dioxolanyl group by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid.
