The stereospeci®c synthesis of 6-a-hydroxy paclitaxel 10, the major human metabolite of paclitaxel, is described. The 6,7-a-diol 4, obtained from paclitaxel, is converted to the 6,7-b-cyclic sulfate followed by nitrate addition and reduction to aord the title compound.

✦ Synopsis
Paroxetine is a well-known antidepressant, used worldwide in therapeutics. In comparison with other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, it exhibits the highest activity in serotonin reuptake inhibition. Paroxetine metabolism initially involves its demethylenation to the catechol intermediate, which is then O-methylated at positions C3 or C4. Herein, the chemistry resulting in the syntheses of these metabolites (3S,4R)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(hydroxymethyl)piperidine and (3S,4R)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenoxymethyl)piperidine is described starting from the common intermediate (3S,4R)-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1-methylpiperidine. Additionally, the common intermediate was used to synthesize paroxetine, which had the same structure and stereochemistry as commercial paroxetine, thereby confirming our synthetic route.

A multicentre study compared the antidepressant efficacy and the tolerance of two selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, paroxetine (20-30 mg/d) and fluvoxamine (50-200 mg/d) in two parallel groups of respectively 56 and 64 patients with major depression, as defined by DSM-III-R criteria.
