The ketone (I) derived from a furanoside is reductively alkynylated with the lithium acetylide (II) to produce the alkynylfuranoside (III) which is hydrogenated or reduced and then etherified with the bromoacetate (IV), yielding selectively the Z‐ or E‐configurated alkenyl derivative (Va) or (Vb).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
