Abstract

The stereostructures of the dihydro derivatives 50 and 6a were established by synthesis (Scheme 2). Thus, in the presence of silver (I) carbonate, the acetobromoglucose 11* O underwent condensation with methyl (s)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate 12 to give the glucoside Sag (40% yield after chromatography and crystallisation), mp 67-69 “C,[a] D-14 (c 0.3, CH2CI2). and with methyl (R)-3-hydroxy-ZmethyIpropanorJe 13 to afford the ...
