Realisation of highly stereoselective dihydroxylation of a cyclopentene in the synthesis of (–)-aristeromycin
Abstract
A 2-furyl group was used as a synthetic equivalent of the CH2OH at the 4′ position of aristeromycin, and dihydroxylation of the cyclopentene possessing the furyl group proceeded highly stereoselectively to produce the key diol for the synthesis of (–)-aristeromycin.
