Abstract
A divergent synthesis of (-)-4-epi-shikimic acid was developed. This route features a one-pot zinc-mediated reductive ring opening of an arabinofuranose followed by a Barbier reaction and culminates in a ring-closing metathesis. Functionalization of (-)-4-epi-shikimic acid via conjugate addition of a thiol occurs in high diastereoselectivity to afford a product with the features of fucosylated glycans.Entities:
