Abstract:
Treatment of 3-C-beta-D-galactopyranosylphloroacetophenone in hot water with a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid afforded a spiroketal compound as the main product. The chirality of the spiro carbon of the product was R, which is the opposite of the spiroketal obtained by the conversion of 3-C-beta-D-glucopyranosyl phloroacetophenone under identical conditions. The structure was determined by 1H-1H COSY, 1H-13C COSY, NOESY and HMBC spectroscopy.
