Formal synthesis of (+)-varitriol. Application of Pd(II)/Cu(II)-catalysed bicyclisation of unsaturated polyols
摘要:
A formal and improved synthesis of natural (+)-varitriol from D-glucose and dimethyl L-tartrate, respectively, are reported. The key steps are the Pd(II)/Cu(II)-catalysed bicyclisation of O-benzyl protected triols L-xylo-15 and L-xylo-15/L-lyxo-15, respectively, followed by ring opening of intermediate dianhydro-L-gulitol 16. The syntheses of key intermediate of the furanoside portion 17 proceed in 13 steps with 5% (from bisacetone-D-glucose), and in 12 steps with 7.6% over-all yield from dimethyl L-tartrate, respectively.
