Mp. Vazqueztato et al., SYNTHESIS OF (3S,5S)-QUINUCLIDINE-3,5-DIOL AND OF -ALPHA,7A-ALPHA)]-OCTAHYDRO-2-FURO[2,3-C]PYRIDINOL FROM D-ARABINOSE, Tetrahedron, 51(3), 1995, pp. 959-974
The synthesis of (3S,5S)-quinuclidine-3,5-diol is achieved by an intro
duction of a 2 carbon chain at C-3 of D-arabinose, followed by joining
the terminus of the chain extension to C-1 and C-5 of the sugar, the
synthesis of [3S-(3 alpha,3a alpha,7a alpha)]-octahydro-2-furo[2,3-c]p
yridinol, a potential muscarine mimic, is described.
