This invention relates to a process for preparation of taxanes comprising subjecting 7,10-diprotected intermediates 7-O-(2-haloacyl) baccatin III 6c or 7,10-O-di-(2-haloacyl)-10-deacetylbaccatin III 6b to a step of coupling with (4S,5R)-3-[(2-alkyl/aryl-2-trialkylsilyl) ethoxy-carbonyl]-4-aryl-2-substituted-1,3-oxazolidine-5-carboxylic acid 1 in the presence of a condensation agent, an activating agent and an aromatic hydrocarbon to obtain 7-O-[2-(haloacyl)]-13-[(4S,5R)-4-aryl-2-substituted-3(2-unsubstituted/substituted-2-trialkylsilyl)-ethoxycarbonyl-1,3-oxazolidinyl-5-carbonyl]baccatin III 7a or 7,10-di-O[2-(haloacyl)]-13-[(4S,5R)-4-aryl-2-substituted-3-(2-unsubstituted/substituted-2-trialkylsilyl)ethoxy-carbonyl-1,3-oxazolidinyl-5-carbonyl]-10-deacetylbaccatin III 7b; treating the coupled products 7-O-[2-(haloacyl)]-13-[(4S,5R)-4-aryl-2-substituted-3-(2-substituted-2-trialkylsilyl)ethoxy-carbonyl-1,3-oxazolidinyl-S-carbonyl]baccatin III 7a or 7,10-di-0-[2[(haloacyl)]-13-[(4S,5R)-4-aryl-2-substituted-3-(2-substituted-2-trialkylsilyl)ethoxycarbonyl-1,3-oxazolidinyl-5-carbonyl]-10-deacetylbaccatin III 7b with tetraalkylammonium halide in a haloalkane to obtain free amine of structure 8; treating free amine 8 with acid chloride or acid anhydride in the presence of a base in a heterogeneous phase to obtain the intermediates of structure 9; subjecting the intermediates of compound 9 to the deprotection of 2-haloacyl group under mild alkaline condition at ?20 to +40° C. for 6-24 h in the presence of ammonia or aliphatic amines or aromatic amines or their combination to obtain paclitaxel or docetaxel.
