Abstract:
Clemoarmanoside A and Clemahexapetoside A, two novel cyclic dimers of 4-(glycosyloxy)benzoates containing the unusual d-allopyranose as one of the sugar units, were synthesized for the first time. The convenient synthetic approach was adapted to the assembly of the symmetrical trimeric, tetrameric, and pentameric congeners. The synthesis clarified the discrepancy in the NMR data reported for the natural products. X-ray diffraction analysis of Clemahexapetoside A revealed that it adopted an armchair conformation with two carbohydrate rings as the arms and two aromatic rings as the back and seat, respectively.

Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
