Diversity-oriented synthesis of fused thioglycosyl benzo[e][1,4]oxathiepin-5-ones and benzo[f][1,4]thiazepin-5(2H)-ones by a sequence of palladium-catalyzed glycosyl thiol arylation and deprotection–lactonization reactions

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of thioglycosylated benzo[e][1,4]oxathiepin-5-one and benzothiazepinone derivatives by a sequence of palladium-catalyzed glycosyl thiol arylation followed by deprotection–lactonization reactions has been reported. This diversity-oriented strategy enabled access to unknown complex cyclic scaffolds with polyhydroxylated appendages of biological interest.
