A. Gaudemer et al., SYNTHESIS OF D-ARABINOHYDROXAMIC ACID AND D-THREONOHYDROXAMIC ACID, POTENT INHIBITORS OF D-XYLOSE ISOMERASES, Tetrahedron letters, 37(13), 1996, pp. 2237-2240
Two potent inhibitors of D-xylose isomerases: D-threonohydroxamic acid
2 and D-arabinohydroxamic acid 3 have been synthesized by conversion
of D-arabinose to a protected derivative of D-arabinonic acid and intr
oduction of the hydroxamate group by coupling with O-benzylhydroxylami
