H. Ito et al., STRUCTURALLY SIMPLIFIED ZARAGOZIC ACID (SQUALESTATIN) - STEREOSELECTIVE PREPARATION OF A 3,4-UNSUBSTITUTED DERIVATIVE, Tetrahedron letters, 38(52), 1997, pp. 9009-9012
Stereoselective preparation of a structurally simplified 3,4-unsubstit
uted zaragozic acid derivative war achieved starting from D-glucose. T
he present approach involved the stereoselective addition of a vinyl G
rignard reagent, selective cleavage of 1,2-diol, and regioselective ac
ylation of the hydroxyl group at C-6. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
