Abstract
The synthesis of the title compound (5) is described. Treatment of 4‐O‐(4,6‐ethylidene‐α‐D‐glucopyranosyl)‐4′‐demethyl‐4‐epipodophyllotoxin with sodium metaperiodate in acetonitrile formed the highly colored 4‐O‐(4,6‐ethylidene‐α‐D‐glucopyranosyl)‐3′,4′‐dioxo‐4‐epipodophyllotoxin (1). Hydrogenation using 10% palladium on carbon produced the 3′,4′‐dihydroxy compound (2). Protection of the 4′ hydroxy was achieved by benzylation (3). Treatment with excess [^14^C]methyl iodide under basic conditions introduced the label on the 3′ position (4). Deprotection yielded the title compound in an overall yield of 6%.
