Fj. Lopezherrera et al., SYNTHESIS OF FUNCTIONALIZED MANNOFURANOSYL GLYCOSIDES - FORMATION OF A MANNO-ANALOG OF SHOWDOMYCIN, Anales de quimica, 93(4), 1997, pp. 246-251
This paper reports the stereoselective synthesis of a manno-analogue o
f the antibiotic Showdomycin: 2-(alpha-D-mannofuranosyl)maleimide (7).
All intermediates (2, 3, 3, 5 and 6) were confirmed to be alpha-C-gly
cosides. The configuration of the glycosidic residue at C-2 was determ
ined for 2 by comparing the spectroscopic data of 11, obtained by ster
eoselective I-2-induced cyclization from 10.
