FACILE STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESES OF 4 OF THE 6 1,2,3,4-CYCLOHEXANETETROLS - INCREASING THE ACCESSIBILITY OF CYCLITOLS FOR PROBING THE MOLECULAR RECOGNITION OF SACCHARIDES
Cy. Huang et al., FACILE STEREOSELECTIVE SYNTHESES OF 4 OF THE 6 1,2,3,4-CYCLOHEXANETETROLS - INCREASING THE ACCESSIBILITY OF CYCLITOLS FOR PROBING THE MOLECULAR RECOGNITION OF SACCHARIDES, Synthetic communications, 24(19), 1994, pp. 2757-2764
New and stereoselective syntheses of (1,2,3/4)-, (1,2/3,4)-, (1,4/2,3)
-, and (1,2,4/3)-cyclohexanetetrols (1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively) are
described. The known syn and anti 1,4-cyclohex-2-enediols 9 and 10 wer
e used as starting materials. Diols 9 and 10 were allow to react with
OsO4 to directly form 3 and 1 respectively. Diols 9 and 1 0 were epoxi
dized with MCPBA, which yielded 4 and 2 after acid catalyzed epoxide o
pening.
