Abstract

Abstract Direct access to bicyclic precursors of octulosonic acids is achieved by treatment of differentially (or not) protected γ, δ-bis (silyloxy) cis-α, β-epoxy aldehydes with ethyl 2- (trimethylsilyloxy)-2-propenoate in the presence of boron trifluoride− diethyl ether. An X-ray crystallographic structure of a bicycle (compound 33a) was obtained and used to determine the absolute configurations of the different stereogenic centers and thus the ...
