Abstract

When 3-C-sulfonyl-pent-2-enofuranosides and 3-C-sulfonyl-hex-2-enofuranosides were reacted with primary and secondary amines, only the beta-anomeric methoxy group of the pent-2-enofuranoside did not cause any hindrance to incoming nitrogen nucleophiles. This resulted in the `unusual' addition of amines, in which the diastereoselectivity of the reaction was overwhelmingly in favor of amino sugars of the D-arabino configuration. Selected products were desulfonylated to obtain a new class of beta-anomeric 2-amino-2,3-dideoxy-D-threo-pentofuranosides. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
