Stereoselective reactions of a (-)-quinic acid-derived enone: Application to the synthesis of the core of scyphostatin

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

[GRAPHIC]

A (-)-quinic acid-derived enone, with the trans-1,2-diol protected as a 2,3-dimethoxybutanediyldioxy ketal, provides an excellent template for further highly stereoselective elaboration as exemplified by its conversion into the core of scyphostatin, a potent inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase.
