Allylic esters as potential antitumor agents. Derivatives and analogs of 2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene

Abstract
Derivatives and analogues of 2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene were synthesized. Of the compounds prepared, dimethyl 2,3-bis(acetoxymethyl)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene-5,6-dicarboxylate (5) was the most potent in a leukemia L1210 tissue culture assay (93% inhibition at 10(-6) M). None of the compounds showed significant reproducible in vivo antileukemic activity.
