Abstract

The Diels-Alder adduct of furfuryl alcohol and maleic anhydride was converted into a 3,4,5-trihydroxy-9-oxo-8-oxabicyclo[4.3.0]non-1 (6)-ene-2-carboxylic derivative, then into polyhydroxylated systems containing three contiguous, oxidized, one-carbon side-chains that are potential intermediates in the synthesis of 6-epi-squalestatins and analogues.

Side chain

In organic chemistry and biochemistry, a side chain is a chemical group that is attached to a core part of the molecule called the "main chain" or backbone. The side chain is a hydrocarbon branching element of a molecule that is attached to a larger hydrocarbon backbone. It is one factor in determining a molecule's properties and reactivity. A side chain is also known as a pendant chain, but a pendant group (side group) has a different definition.

States' rights

In American political discourse, states' rights are political powers held for the state governments rather than the federal government according to the United States Constitution, reflecting especially the enumerated powers of Congress and the Tenth Amendment. The enumerated powers that are listed in the Constitution include exclusive federal powers, as well as concurrent powers that are shared with the states, and all of those powers are contrasted with the reserved powers—also called states' rights—that only the states possess.

Locant

In the nomenclature of organic chemistry, a locant is a term to indicate the position of a functional group or substituent within a molecule. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) recommends the use of numeric prefixes to indicate the position of substituents, generally by identifying the parent hydrocarbon chain and assigning the carbon atoms based on their substituents in order of precedence. For example, there are at least two isomers of the linear form of pentanone, a ketone that contains a chain of exactly five carbon atoms.
