A Novel PCC-Catalyzed Process Involving the Oxidative Cleavage of an α-Bromomethyl-tetrahydrofuran Bond. Synthesis of (2S,3R)-2-{(R)-Bromo[(2R,3R,5S,6R)-3,5-dibromo-6-ethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl]methyl}-5-oxotetrahydrofuran-3-yl Benzoate

In this note, we report the discovery of a novel pyridinium chlorochroamte-catalyzed process in which an α-bromomethyl-tetrahydrofuran bond was oxidatively cleaved to give a γ-lactone functionality. The title compound was synthesized from a C15 polybrominated acetogenin compound, isolated from the m...
