Jl. Acena et al., A CONVENIENT APPROACH TO THE AMINOCYCLITOL FRAGMENT OF PANCRATISTATINFROM 7-OXANORBORNENES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(1), 1996, pp. 105-106
A totally stereoselective route to an analogue aminocyclitol fragment
of the alkaloid pancratistatin has been achieved starting from a 7-oxa
norbornenic disulfone. The key step was the alkylative cleavage of the
oxygen bridge to produce a highly oxygenated cyclohexenyl sulfone.
