Highly Regio- and Stereoselective One-Pot Synthesis of Carbohydrate-Based Butyrolactones
摘要:
The use of manganese(III) acetate allows the direct synthesis of diverse arrays of [4.3.0] bicyclic carbohydrate-based gamma-lactone building blocks from glycals. A mechanism to explain the high regio- and stereoselectivity is proposed. The new reaction has the potential to generate libraries for biological screening.
