P. Bisseret et al., DIMETHYLDIOXIRANE OXIDATION OF AMINOBACTERIOHOPANETRIOL - OBTENTION OF A PUTATIVE INTERMEDIATE IN BACTERIAL HOPANOID BIOSYNTHESIS, Tetrahedron letters, 35(17), 1994, pp. 2687-2690
Once protected as O-dimethylisopropylsilylethers, aminobacteriohopanet
riol 3b could be satisfactorily converted in a one pot procedure, feat
uring dimethyldioxirane as an oxidant, into the new C-ribosylhopane 1,
a postulated precursor of the bacteriohopanepolyol series.
