Abstract: | Herein we report our efforts toward unequivocal assignment of the hitherto unknown absolute configurations of two naturally occurring phenylpropanoids from Abies delavayi and Abies fabri via a combination of chiral pool synthesis and single crystal X-ray analysis which also confirmed their previously reported gross structures with relative stereochemistry. Toward this end we have achieved the first stereodivergent syntheses of threo-(1R,2R)-(−)- and erythro-(1S,2R)-(+)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-methoxy-2,3-propanediol. The synthetic threo-isomer was found to be identical to the naturally occurring threo-isomer, while the natural erythro-isomer was postulated to be the enantiomer of the synthetic erythro-isomer. |
