Site-selective C-H hydroxylation of pentacyclic triterpenoids directed by transient chiral pyridine-imino groups
Pentacyclic triterpenoids (PTs) functionalized at the D/E rings possess a wide spectrum of biological activities but are poorly accessible. Here, the authors report a site-selective C-H hydroxylation at the D/E rings of PTs by exploiting transient pyridine-imino directing groups and disclose the syn...

description | Pentacyclic triterpenoids (PTs) functionalized at the D/E rings possess a wide spectrum of biological activities but are poorly accessible. Here, the authors report a site-selective C-H hydroxylation at the D/E rings of PTs by exploiting transient pyridine-imino directing groups and disclose the synthesis of related natural products. |
