BRANCHED CHAIN SUGARS. XXIX. SYNTHESIS OF MOENURONIC ACID (4-C-METHYL-D-GLUCURONIC ACID)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.55.938

Moenuronic acid (4-C-methyl-D-glucuronic acid), a branched-chain sugar component of moenomycin A, was synthesized by the introduction of an axial C-methyl group into methyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-6-O-trityl-α-D-xylohexopyranosid-4-ulose by the reaction with meth
