Abstract:
Polyphyllin D, namely diosgenyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)- [(alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl)-(1 --> 4)]-[beta-D-glucopyranoside, was synthesized from diosgenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside in four steps and in 30% overall yield, taking advantage of regioselective pivaloylation and alpha-L-rhamnopyranosylation reactions.
