Efficient and shortcut syntheses of some novel eight-membered ring cyclitols starting from cycloocta-1,3-diene

Cyclooctane-1,2,3,4-tetraols, aminocyclooctanetriol, and chlorocyclooctanetriol were synthesized starting from cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene by a concise and efficient method. Cyclooctene endoperoxide and cyclooctene epoxide obtained by photooxygenation and epoxidation, respectively, of cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene were used as the key intermediates. The other oxygen, nitrogen, and chloro functionalities were introduced via epoxidation of the remaining double bond, ring-opening of epoxide, and cis-hydroxylation reactions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
