Description
Summary:A stereoselective β-glycosidation of digitoxose and digitoxigenin involving a 1-3 participation of a urethane group is described. The conversion of digitoxin ( 10 ) to its furyl derivative 11 and the rcoxidation of 11 to digitoxin and isodigitoxin ( 12 ), respectively, in high yield is reported for the first time. This is of fundamental importance for the use of the new glycosidation method in the total synthesis of digitoxin and its analogues.
