Abstract
An efficient hydroxylation at the 5-position of the C ring of camptothecins was accomplished with the complex of CuI and organic amines as catalyst in the presence of oxygen at room temperature in dimethyl formate (DMF). To be successfully hydroxylated, the insoluble camptothecin analogue was transformed to the corresponding 20 carbonates.
