Enantio- and diastereoselective transformations of cycloheptatriene to sugars and related products
摘要:
Both meso diastereomers of 6-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]-2-cycloheptene-1,4-diol, prepared from cycloheptatriene, have been enzymatically asymmetrized by conversion to monoacetates using Pseudomonas cepacia lipase in isopropenyl acetate. A study of protecting group manipulations, diastereoselective oxidations, and regioselective ring openings utilizing these enantiopure monacetates which results in the synthesis of all possible methyl 2,4-dideoxyhexopyranosides is described.
