Through use of a hydrazone-based strategy, L-arabinose was selectively dehydrated to form a chiral tetrahydrofuran on a multi-gram scale without the need for protecting groups. This approach was extended to other biomass-derived reducing sugars and the mechanism of the key cyclization investigated. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of a range of functionalized chiral tetrahydrofurans, as well as a formal synthesis of 3R-3-hydroxymuscarine. date: 2015-11-02 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/chem.201503510 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1066972 doi: 10.1002/chem.201503510 lyricists_name: Bucar, Dejan-Kresimir lyricists_name: Hailes, Helen lyricists_name: Sheppard, Thomas lyricists_id: DBUCA58 lyricists_id: HCHAI24 lyricists_id: TSHEP42 actors_name: Sheppard, Thomas actors_id: TSHEP42 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Chemistry volume: 21 number: 45 pagerange: 15947-15950 event_location: Germany issn: 1521-3765 citation: Foster, RW; Tame, CJ; Bučar, DK; Hailes, HC; Sheppard, TD; (2015) Sustainable Synthesis of Chiral Tetrahydrofurans through the Selective Dehydration of Pentoses.
