Coniferin and Derivatives: a Fast and Easy Synthesis via the Aldehyde Series Using Phase-Transfer Catalysis

Abstract
Coniferin was synthesised in good yields (56% starting from vanillin) under mild conditions. A one-pot coupling of the glucosidation and Wittig-type reactions led to coniferaldehyde tetra-O-acetylglucoside, easily reduced into tetra-O-acetylconiferin by sodium borohydride. Similar procedures were used for the synthesis of syringin and the glucoside of 4-coumaryl alcohol.
