Synthesis of one enantiomer, the other enantiomer, and a mixture of both enantiomers of frontalin from a derivative of methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside
Abstract
The ketone (1), derivable from methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside in four steps, may be converted into one enantiomer, the other enantiomer, or a mixture of both enantiomers of frontalin in 13% overall yield.
