Abstract
The Canadian yew distinguishes itself from other yews by the nature of its taxane metabolites. We are now reporting a new canadensene taxane whose stereochemistry is rigorously established. The three-dimensional structures of canadensene, 5-epi-canadensene and three other related bicyclic taxanes isolated from other yews were calculated using distance constraints derived from NMR data. The stereochemistry of the substituents, the polar acetate groups and the double bonds determine the 3D models. In addition, three new taxanes were also characterized and some biosynthetic speculations are presented.
