A. Maestro et al., USE OF 4-CARBO-SUBSTITUTED ISOXAZOLES IN THE POLYHYDROXYLATED CHAIN EXTENSION OF 2,3-O-ISOPROPYLIDENE-D-GLYCERALDEHYDE, Synthesis, (7), 1998, pp. 1023-1028
An easy and efficient route has been developed for the extension of th
e polyhydroxylated chain of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-glyceraldehyde. Thi
s method consists of the cis-dihydroxylation of the double bond existi
ng in several 4-alkenylisoxazoles synthesized for this purpose.
