S. Ranganathan et al., A SHORT SERENDIPITOUS SYNTHESIS OF MINIMAL GLUCOCORTICOID RECEPTOR ZINC TEMPLATE, Tetrahedron letters, 34(48), 1993, pp. 7801-7804
The serendipitous formation of the novel, 20 membered, cyclo[bis-oxaly
l cystine] - on treatment of cystine-di-OMe with oxalyl chloride - has
provided an exceptionally short route to the first synthesis of the g
lucocorticoid receptor zinc template via PDT mediated thiol-disulfide
exchange and metal complexation.
