Studies on epoxidation of enantiomerically pure 2,3-dideoxy hex-2-enitols: a convenient access to highly functionalized enantiomerically pure tetrahydrofuran derivatives

The evolution of comprehensive strategies for furanoid glycal synthesis and their applications

Cyclic enol ether frameworks, especially stereochemically pure furanoid and pyranoid glycals are well known highly functionalized chiral building blocks.

Substrate and stereocontrolled iodocycloetherification of highly functionalized enantiomerically pure allylic alcohols: application to synthesis of cytotoxic 2-epi jaspine B and its biological evaluation

A mechanistic study on iodocycloetherification of enantiopure allylic alcohols is established. Its application to synthesis of marine cytotoxic 2-epi jaspine B has been demonstrated.

Synthesis of (-)-deoxoprosophylline, (+)-2-epi-deoxoprosopinine, and (2R,3R)- and (2R,3S)-3-hydroxypipecolic acids from D-glycals

New syntheses of (-)-deoxoprosophylline, (+)-2-epi-deoxoprosopinine, and (2R,3R)- and (2R,3S)-3-hydroxypipecolic acids are reported. Utilization of the chiral functionalities of Perlin aldehydes, derived from 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl glycals, has been done along with chemoselective saturation of olefins and reductive aminations as key steps.
