The regio- and stereospecific synthesis ofO-methyl-chiro-inositols andO-methyl-scyllo-inositol was achieved, starting fromp-benzoquinone. After preparing dimethoxy conduritol-B as a key compound, regiospecific bromination ...

The stereoselective synthesis of 2-bromo-6-chloro-5-methylcyclohex-4-ene-1,3-diyl diacetate, methyl-substituted dihaloconduritol-A is reported. Bromination of 2-methylbenzo-1,4-quinone followed by the reduction in the ...

Two new oxazolidinone polycyclitols, 4,5,7,8,9-pentahydroxy-3-tosyldecahydronaphtho [2,1-d]oxazol-2(9bH)-one and 4,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-3-tosyldecahydronaphtho [2,1-d]oxazol-2(9bH)-one were synthesized starting from ...

2-Ethoxy-3- and 5-chloropyridines were obtained from 2,3- and 2,5-dichloropyridine. Reaction of 2,3- and 2,5-dichlo-ropyridines with tBuLi in the presence of furan gave 1- and 3-ethoxy-5,8-epoxy-5,8-dihydroisoquinolines. ...

Starting from cyclooctatetraene, bis-homoconduritols with cis-inositol and allo-inositol (or bicyclo[4.2.0]octane motif) structures were synthesized. Photooxygenation of trans-7,8-dibromo-bicyclo[4.2.0]octa-2,4-diene allowed ...

Decahydronaphthalene-1,2,3,4,5,6,7-heptol, a new polycyclitol, was synthesized starting from p-benzoquinone. An endo selective Diels-Alder cycloaddition between p-benzoquinone and 1-acetoxybutadiene followed by stereoselective ...

The efficient synthesis of a new class of oxazolidinone with strained rings is described. The allylic cis-diol as the key intermediate was first prepared via two steps starting from p-benzoquinone. Formation of the ...

The effective synthesis of benzoconduritols C and D is reported. Oxidation of oxabenzonorbornadiene followed by acetylation with Ac2O/pyridine or AcCl/CH2Cl2 gave the corresponding exo-diacetate compound stereoselectively. ...

The synthesis of novel bis-homodichloroinositol with a configuration similar to that of conduritol-D is reported for the first time. The photooxygenation of cis-dichloro-diene obtained using cyclooctatetraene as the starting ...
