โฆ Synopsis
Reported is a novel, symmetry-based strategy for the synthesis of the zaragozic acids. Two enantioselective dihyroxylations are used to set the absolute stereochemistry of a C-2 symmetric intermediate. A sequence of a furan photo-oxidation followed by a diastereoselective dihydroxylation breaks the symmetry and sets two quaternary stereocenters. Finally, a group selective lactonization is used to protect one of two secondary hydroxyls. This accomplishes the critical end-differentiation of this intermediate. An approach to protecting group removal and oxidation is also presented.

A new method for synthesis of 3'-end-phosphorylated DNA oligomers via the phosphoramidite method with allyl protection has been developed. This method is particularly useful for the preparation of derivatives with base-labile structures such as oligoDNA-OPO(OH)OCH2CH(R)Z, in which Z is an electron-w
