Enantiospecific synthesis of the heparanase inhibitor (+)-trachyspic acid and stereoisomers from a common precursor†
Abstract
The total synthesis of natural (+)-trachyspic acid and its enantiomer is described starting from a common 2-deoxy-D-ribose derivative. The synthesis of the corresponding C3 epimers from the same starting material is also described. Each stereoisomer was assayed for
