Selective oxidation of lignan compounds by dimethyldioxirane. Diastereoselective opening of asarinin furo-furan skeleton
摘要:
Asarinin, a furo-furan lignan compound with two benzyl-ethereal carbons of opposite stereochemistry, was monooxidised at a selected centre by DMD to a chiral substituted tetrahydrofuran. Use of a dilute solution of DMD was crucial for the success of the process. The stereochemistry of the product was confirmed by a similar oxidation of sesamin, the C-7' isomer of asarinin (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
