摘要:
A mild and atom-economic rhenium(V)-catalyzed stereoselective synthesis of beta-D-digitoxosides from 6-deoxy-D-allals has been described. This beta-selective glycosylation was achieved probably because of the formation of corresponding alpha-digitoxosides disfavored by 1,3-diaxial interaction. In addition, this method has been successfully applied to the synthesis of digitoxin trisaccharide glycal for the direct synthesis of digitwdn and C1'-epi-digitoxin.
