Total syntheses of (+)- and (−)-1,3,4,5-tetragalloylapiitol and revision of absolute configuration of naturally occurring (−)-1,3,4,5-tetragalloylapiitol
The totalsyntheses of (+)- and (−)-1,3,4,5-tetragalloylapiitol were achieved in seven steps from d- and l-ribose, respectively. By comparing the optical rotations of both enantiomers with those of the naturalproduct, the absolute configuration at C-3 in the naturally occurring 1,3,4,5-tetragalloylapiitol has been revised to R. The absolute configurations at C-3 in the synthetic (+)- and (−)-1,3,4
Synthesis of Differently Protected 1‐<i>C</i>‐Methyl‐Ribofuranoses Intermediates for the Preparation of Biologically Active 1′‐<i>C</i>‐Methyl‐Ribonucleosides
Starting from D-ribose, differently protected 1-C-methyl-D-ribofuranoses have been prepared as intermediates for the synthesis of variously modified 1'-C-methyl-ribonucleosides, a class of compounds potentially endowed with interesting biological activity.
