C. Fuganti et S. Serra, A concise synthesis of 3-hydroxy-4-(beta-glucopyranosyl) benzoate: A new route to beta-C-aryl glycosides, SYNLETT, (8), 1999, pp. 1241-1242
A synthesis of specifically substituted beta-C-aryl glycosides is described
. The aromatic moiety is built up starting from the easily available 2,3,4,
6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-gluconolactone with a benzoannulation reaction as a key
step.
