Stannylation of cholesteryl α-L-arabinopyranoside with Bu
2 SnO followed by p-coumaroylation gave the 3'-o-p-coumarate, which on heating in pyridine rearranged to the 4'-o-p-coumarate. Similarly inundoside-A was converted to its 3'-o-p-coumarate and then 4'-o-p-coumarate, which were identical with inundoside-G and inundoside-D
1, respectively, thus providing their total syntheses.
