H. Konishi et al., TTN OXIDATION OF MIXED HALOGENATED PHENOLS - SYNTHESIS OF VANCOMYCIN MODEL DIARYL ETHER POSSESSING A CHLORINE ATOM, Tetrahedron letters, 37(48), 1996, pp. 8791-8794
The diaryl ether possessing a chlorine atom has been synthesized as a
model study on a synthesis of vancomycin class glycopeptide antibiotic
s. Thallium (III) oxidation of the bisphenol derivative followed by se
lective reduction provided the corresponding cyclic product in moderat
e overall yield. Conformation of the products is also discussed. Copyr
