Ketone 9 was synthesized in 7 steps from commercially available 2-methylcyclohexane-1,3-dione in a diastereoselective fashion. Shapiro reaction of easily available trisylhydrazone 11 with benzaldehyde was used as a model for A- and C-ring coupling. Finally, reaction of trisylhydrazone 24 with A-ring aldehyde 4, under carefully controlled conditions, gave seco-taxane 27 with high diastereoselectivity for the diol moiety.

Shapiro reaction - vinyllithium - stereoselectivity - seco-taxane - taxol
