Diastereofacial reactivity of (E)-3-trimethylsilyloxybuta-1,3-dien-1-yl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranoside
Abstract
The title diene shows a notable diastereofacial reactivity in cycloadditions with p-benzoquinones, N-phenylmaleimide, and maleic anhydride; the structure of the trione (14) has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
