Abstract

A general approach to enantiopure C-glycofuranoside-based hybrid α/β-amino acids and nitrones, among other valuable building blocks, has been established via formyl C-glycofuranosides, easily available from hexose-derived equatorial-2-OH-glycopyranosides by DAST-promoted ring contraction.

Key words

C-glycofuranoside-based building blocks - formyl C-glycofuranosides - DAST-promoted ring contraction - C-glycofuranosyl nitrones - C-glycofuranosyl amino acids

Preparation and More Relevant Data of Compound 10
A soln of 9 (105 mg, 0.340 mmol) in dry THF (4.8 mL) containing 3 Å MS was treated with NaCNBH3 (273 mg, 4.35 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 15 min, and then Et2O-HCl (3.5%, 6 mL) was added. After 5 min, the reaction was diluted with H2O (20 mL) and CH2Cl2 (20 mL). After separation, the organic layer was successively washed with sat. aq NaHCO3 (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated. Column chromatography (hexane-EtOAc, 3:1) gave pure 10 (64 mg, 64%).
