ABSTRACT
Quercitol is a cyclohexanepentol that has been recognized as a biomarker of plants in genus Quercus, which includes oak. As a result of its glucose-like structure, it has been introduced as an alternative chiral building block in the synthesis of several bioactive compounds. Our continuing investigations on the synthesis of antidiabetic agents from quercitol have demonstrated that this chiral synthon can generate diverse structural features with improved hypoglycemic activity.
