title: Short syntheses of gabosine I and gabosine G from delta-D-gluconolactone.
abstract: A short synthesis of gabosine I (1) from delta-D-gluconolactone (3) in four steps, involving a one-pot TPAP oxidation-K2CO3-mediated intramolecular Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination as the key step, is described. Regioselective acetylation of the primary alcohol in gabosine I (1) then furnished gabosine G (2).
