Abstract
Uvacalols are novel carbasugars isolated from the genera Uvaria . In this study, we report concise syntheses of (1R ,2S ,3R ,6R )-6-ethoxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,2,3-triol, a key intermediate for the synthesis of uvacalols I and J, and of its epimer (1R ,2S ,3S ,6R )-6-ethoxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclohex-4-ene-1,2,3-triol, starting from cheap and readily available methyl d -glucopyranoside.
Keywords
uvacalols -
carbasugars -
methyl glucopyranoside -

Anhyd FeCl3 (0.036 g, 0.22 mmol) was added to a solution of 24 (0.070 g, 0.14 mmol) in anhyd CH2 Cl2 (5 mL) at rt, and the resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 3 h until the reaction was complete (TLC). The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by column chromatography [silica gel, EtOAc–MeOH (9:1)] to give a colorless syrup; yield: 0.027 g (75%); [α]D
