Abstract
The first synthesis of rhododendrin 1 and epi-rhododendrin 2 [(R)- and (S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methylpropyl beta-D-glucopyranoside] was ac hieved by starting from ethyl (S)-3-hydroxybutanoate 4, p-bromoanisole and D-glucose. Rhododendrin 1 is known as the hepatoprotective consti tuent of Taxus baccata L.
