M. Petrusova et al., A STRAIGHTFORWARD ROUTE TO N-ACETYL-D-GLUCOSAMINE-DERIVED C-BETA-D-GLYCOSYL SYNTHONS, Tetrahedron letters, 37(14), 1996, pp. 2341-2344
A practical synthesis of formaldehyde, nitroethene, and nitroethane C-
glycosylated with a 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl group is
described. Synthesis follows the nitromethane route and involves an u
nusual, intramolecularly catalyzed beta-elimination of acetic acid and
pH-controlled ozonolysis of nitronate salts. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsev
