title: Stereocontrolled Synthesis of Optically Active beta-D-glucopyranosides of 3-Hydroxy-7,8-didehydro-beta-ionol.
abstract: A stereocontrolled synthesis of optically active beta-D-glucopyranosides 1-4 of 3-hydroxy-7,8-didehydro-beta-ionol utilizing an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation to alpha,beta-acetylenic ketones catalyzed by chiral ruthenium complexes as the key step is described.
