Abstract
A range of 14-esters of the title compound, 3''-deamino-3''-hydroxydoxorubicin 3'',4''-diacetate, was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding 14-bromide by the appropriate sodium carboxylase salts. Antitumor activities were determined in vivo in the murine P388 lymphocytic leukemia assay and compared with those of the 14-hydroxy and 14-acetoxy analogs.
