Abstract

This report describes the total synthesis of lagerstannin C, a natural ellagitannin that has d-gluconic acid in the molecule. The study presented here is the first synthesis of the gluconic acid containing ellagitannin. The key step in the synthesis is the opening of δ-lactone through transesterification to form the corresponding benzyl ester.
