Abstract

A stereospecific total synthesis of the title compound, 37, starting from diacetone glucose (9), is described. Key intermediates in the synthesis are 3-deoxy-5, 6-anhydro-1, 2-O- isopropylidene-glucofuranose (15), obtained in 55% yield from 9, and methyl 8-tert- butyldiphenylsilyl-9, 11-O-isopropylidene-8 R, 9 S, 11 R-trihydroxy-12-oxo-dodeca-5 Z- enoate (33), an important intermediate in the synthesis of other oxidation products of ...
