Abstract

(1S,1R,5R,7R)-1-Hydroxy-exo-brevicomin has been synthesized in a highly efficient manner using Dglucono- δ-lactone as a chiral precursor. The synthesis involves the Grignard cross coupling, Wacker oxidation and intramolecular acetalization as the key steps.

Keywords: D-glucono-δ-lactone, grignard cross coupling, wacker oxidation, acetalization, exo-brevicomin
