Total synthesis of woodrosin I - Part 1: Preparation of the building blocks and evaluation of the glycosylation strategy

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/chem.200390025

The preparation of three building blocks required for the total synthesis of woodrosin I (1) is outlined, a complex resin glycoside bearing a macrolide ring which spans four of the five sugars of its oligosaccharide backbone. Key steps involve the enantio
