Total synthesis of cleistetroside-2, partially acetylated dodecanyl tetrarhamnoside derivative isolated from Cleistopholis patens and Cleistopholis glauca

The total synthesis of a partially acetylated dodecanyl tetrarhamnoside derivative, cleistetroside-2, which was isolated from Cleistopholis patens and Cleistopholis glauca and showed significant in vitro antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria, was achieved for the first time.
