最終段階位置選択的アシル化に基づく配糖体天然物の全合成

抄録

 The first total syntheses of multifidosides A-C are reported. The prominent feature is an unconventional retrosynthesis based on organocatalytic site-selective acylation of unprotected glycosides at the final stage of synthesis. A notable advantage of this strategy is that it avoids the risks of undesired side reactions during the removal of the protecting groups at the final stage of total synthesis. The proposed synthetic strategy has another advantage in terms of efficient late-stage derivatization of natural products. Due to the predictability and reliability of the catalytic site-selective introduction of various functionalized acyl groups, the present synthetic strategy could provide a general synthetic route to 4-O-acylglycosides, such as phenylethanoid glycosides and ellagitannins, which are of biological interest.
