Synthesis of highly oxygenated carbocyclic derivatives: decalins and cyclohexanes from sugar allyltins

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/j.tetasy.2007.10.016

Sugar allyltin derivatives are readily converted into the carbobicyclic compounds with precisely defined stereochemistry. Model functionalization of the carbocyclic skeleton in such precursors with the decalin structure provides either highly oxygenated bi- or monocarbocyclic derivatives.
