Abstract
The enantioselective syntheses of digitoxigen 2,6-dideoxy-beta-L-ribo-hexopyranoside, its analogues and digitoxin monosaccharide analogues have been achieved. Key to this approach is the iterative application of the palladium-catalyzed glycosylation reaction, reductive 1,3-transposition and diastereoselective dihydroxylation. Anticancer tests showed that these analogues have even better anticancer activities.
