The resolution of the tricyclic ketone (3a + 3b) by the separation of diastereomeric adducts 4a and 4c of the precursor ketal 5 is described. The regenerated enantiomers 3a and 3b of 100% optical purity represent the key intermediates from which 20(R)-camptothecin (1a) and 20(S)-camptothecin (1b), respectively, have been prepared. The 20R analogue 1a was 10-100 times less active than the natural 20(S)-camptothecin (1b) in 9KB and 9PS cytotoxicity assays and almost inactive in in vivo L-1210 leukemia tests as compared to the highly potent and active natural compound 1b.
