          Interference No. 103,675                                                      

    (see page 11) and denominated as compound Va'. In Example 6, the                    
    compound prepared in Example 5 had the triethyl silyl protecting group              
    on the 2'-position removed to prepare a compound denominated as Ib'.                
    In Example 7, a compound denominated as compound XVa was prepared                   
    according to a fifth reaction scheme as set forth in Example 7. In                  
    Example 8, a compound named 7"-fluoro-10-desoxytaxol and denominated                
    as compound Ic'' was prepared from 10-desacetyltaxol and hydroxy                    
    protecting agents to obtain a mixture of 2'- and 7-hydroxy protected                
    and 2'- and 10-hydroxy protected taxol derivatives which were then                  
    further reacted according to reaction scheme III (see page 8, lines 3               
    through 30 and pages 12 and 13) to obtain the final product, 7-"-                   
    fluoro-10-desoxytaxol. In example 9, a compound named as 7-"-fluoro-                
    desacetyltaxol and denominated as compound Id'' was prepared from 10-               
    desacetyltaxol and diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) using                      
    synthesis scheme IV (see page 8, line 31 through page 9, line 2 and                 
    page 14).                                                                           
              The compound of Example 1 is described as a "white powder"                
    with a particular melting point, refractive index, characteristic NMR               
    spectra as identified by: chemical shifts compared to a                             
    tetramethylsilane (TMS) standard; the relative area for the shifts                  
    corresponding to the number of hydrogen atoms of a particular type in               
    the compound; and, a definition of the nature of the shifts as to                   
                                        16
