Abstract
A concise asymmetric synthesis of voglibose, a natural product derivative and an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor with antihyperglycemic activity, was produced from an O-arylated lactic acid derivative in only seven steps. This approach was based on an oxidative phenol dearomatization process promoted by a hypervalent iodine reagent, a chiral auxiliary serving as a protecting group and allowing the asymmetric formation of the target, and a key hydrolysis leading to the formation of several contiguous stereocenters and removal of the chiral auxiliary.
期刊介绍:
Organic Letters invites original reports of fundamental research in all branches of the theory and practice of organic, physical organic, organometallic,medicinal, and bioorganic chemistry. Organic Letters provides rapid disclosure of the key elements of significant studies that are of interest to a large portion of the organic community. In selecting manuscripts for publication, the Editors place emphasis on the originality, quality and wide interest of the work. Authors should provide enough background information to place the new disclosure in context and to justify the rapid publication format. Back-to-back Letters will be considered. Full details should be reserved for an Article, which should appear in due course.
