Abstract

The first synthesis of the inositol-containing marine glycolipid dioctadecanoyl discoside is reported. The key glycosylation reaction proceeds with β-selectivity at reduced temperature. The separable anomers could be readily progressed to afford discoside, its peracetate and the unnatural β-derivatives.

Key words

marine sponge - glycolipid - mannose - glycosylation - inositol
