Application

1,4-Anhydroerythritol was employed in a key step in the synthesis of glucopyranoside-based analogs of adenophostin A lacking the adenine component.

General description

1,4-Anhydroerythritol is a cyclic vicinal diol. 1,4-Anhydroerythritol undergoes hydrodeoxygenation over tungsten oxide-palladium catalysts to yield 3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran.

Hydrodeoxygenation of cyclic vicinal diols such as 1,4-anhydroerythritol was conducted over catalysts containing both a noble metal and a group 5-7 transition-metal oxide. The combination of Pd and WOx allowed the removal of one of the two OH groups selectively.

Adenophostins A and B are naturally occurring glyconucleotides that interact potently with receptors for D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, an important second messenger molecule in most cell types. Here we describe the design and synthesis of glucopyranoside-based analogues of adenophostin A lacking the
