Abstract

Spiro C-arylglycoriboside was synthesized in 21 steps via Pd(II)-catalyzed spirocyclization as a key reaction. Hemiketal was obtained in 47% overall yield from cis-2-butene-1,4-diol and spirocyclized with PdCl2(PhCN)2 in dilute THF solution (0.01 M) to afford the 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane skeleton in high yield. The spirocyclo adduct was transformed into spiro C-arylglycoriboside in five steps.

The stereochemistry of 10a was confirmed unequivocally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
