Avr. Rao et al., A CONCISE ROUTE TO BIARYLS - FORMAL SYNTHESIS OF BIARYL DIAMINO DIACID (AB SEGMENT) OF VANCOMYCIN, Tetrahedron letters, 35(28), 1994, pp. 5039-5042
An efficient approach to the AB segment of vancomycin involving triphe
nylphosphine-catalysed coupling of the substituted aryl lithio compoun
d (13) with palladium complex (14) of aromatic Schiff base derived fro
m 3, 5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde is described.
