Preparation of enantiomerically pure 5,6-dihydroxy-isobenzofuranones and 5,6-dihydroxy-4,7-methano-isobenzofuranones

Publications: Contribution to journalArticlePeer Reviewed

Abstract

Optically pure available lactones 1 and 5 were diastereoselectively oxidised to cis-diols 2 and 6 by KMnO4 and to epoxides 3 and 7 by 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. Epoxide 3 was cleaved to trans-diol 4, whereas hydrolysis of 7 afforded tricyclic carboxylic acid 8. Optic ally puredihydroxylactones 2, 4, and 6 are valuable models for structure determination of the antimicrobial garlic component garlicin.
