TANDEM RADICAL TRIFLUOROMETHYLATION NUCLEOPHILIC CYCLIZATION OF A GLUCOSE-DERIVED KETENE DITHIOACETAL - SYNTHESIS OF 5-DEOXY-5-C-TRIFLUOROMETHYL-ALDURONO-6,3-LACTONES
G. Foulard et al., TANDEM RADICAL TRIFLUOROMETHYLATION NUCLEOPHILIC CYCLIZATION OF A GLUCOSE-DERIVED KETENE DITHIOACETAL - SYNTHESIS OF 5-DEOXY-5-C-TRIFLUOROMETHYL-ALDURONO-6,3-LACTONES, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 91(2), 1998, pp. 179-183
A diastereoisomeric mixture of 5-C-trifluoromethylated analogs of D-gl
ucuronolactone and L-iduronolactone was synthesized in a five-step pro
cedure from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose. The key step i
nvolves a tandem radical trifluoromethylation-nucleophilic cyclization
of a ketene dithioacetal derived from propylidene-alpha-D-xylo-pentod
ialdo-1,4-furanose. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved
