Synthesis of conduritols A, (+)-C and (–)-C from D-galactose
Abstract
A general approach for the stereoselective synthesis of conduritols A 1, (+)-C 3 and (–)-C 3 starting from D-galactose is described. The utility of the key cyclohexenone intermediate 11 leading to the synthesis of conduritols 1, (+)-3 and (–)-3 by straightforward synthetic manipulations is described.
