Compound Q&A
How is (2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-thiolate (CAS: 12192-57-3) typically synthesized?
Answer
This compound is typically synthesized through a multi-step process involving the reduction of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-6-thione with sodium borohydride, followed by the addition of gold(III) chloride to form the gold(1+) complex. The synthesis involves careful control of pH and temperature to achieve high yields and selectivity.
