Abstract
A method of preparing a 4'-0-demethy-4.beta.-NHR podophyllotoxin, where R is an aryl or dialkyl amino alkyl group, is disclosed. The method includes reacting H.sub.2 NR under basic conditions with a mixture of .alpha. and .beta. epimers of 4'-0-demethyl-4-bromo-podophyllotoxin, to form an epimeric mixture of the 4'-0-demethyl-4-NHR-podophyllotoxin compounds, removing acidic impurities which bind to silica gel in a dichloromethane solvent, and crystallizing 4'-0-demethyl-4.beta.-NHR-podophyllotoxin from its .alpha. epimer.
