Retinoic acid analogues such as N-(4-hydroxyphenyl)retinamide (4-HPR) are effective chemopreventatives and chemotherapeutics for numerous types of cancer. The C-linked analogue of the O-glucuronide of 4-HPR (4-HPRCG) has been shown to be a more effective agent. The synthetic route to this molecule has been significantly improved by access to a key C-benzyl-glucuronide intermediate through employment of a Suzuki coupling reaction between an exoanomeric methylene sugar and an aryl bromide. Preliminary evidence shows 4-HPRCG has chemotherapeutic activity.
