From D??Glucose to Biologically Potent L??Hexose Derivatives: Synthesis of α??L??Iduronidase Fluorogenic Detector and the Disaccharide Moieties of Bleomycin A2 and …
Abstract A novel and convenient route for the synthesis of biologically potent and rare L- hexose derivatives from D-glucose is described. Conversion of diacetone-α-D-glucose (14) into 1, 2: 3, 5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-L-idofuranose (19) was efficiently carried out in two steps. Orthogonal isopropylidene rearrangement of compound 19 led to 1, 2: 5, 6-di-O- isopropylidene-β-L-idofuranose (27), which underwent regioselective epimerization at the ...
