Development of a Kilogram-Scale Synthesis of Salidroside and Its Analogs

Abstract

An efficient, safe, and viable process has been developed for large-scale preparation of salidroside, a natural product. The process consists of two chemical steps, which produce the salidroside on a multikilogram scale with 72% overall yield and >98% purity. A series of novel salidroside analogs were prepared according to the same method.
