NEW ANTHRACYCLINE DISACCHARIDES - SYNTHESIS OF L-DAUNOSAMINYL-ALPHA(1-]4)-2-DEOXY-L-RHAMNOSYL AND OF L-DAUNOSAMINYL-ALPHA(1-]4)-2-DEOXY-L-FUCOSYL DAUNORUBICIN ANALOGS
F. Animati et al., NEW ANTHRACYCLINE DISACCHARIDES - SYNTHESIS OF L-DAUNOSAMINYL-ALPHA(1-]4)-2-DEOXY-L-RHAMNOSYL AND OF L-DAUNOSAMINYL-ALPHA(1-]4)-2-DEOXY-L-FUCOSYL DAUNORUBICIN ANALOGS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (12), 1996, pp. 1327-1329
The synthesis of the new disaccharide anthracyclines 20, 21, 24 and 25
, where the daunosamine moiety is separated from the aglycone by eithe
r a rhamnose or a fucose residue, performed following a convergent pro
cedure, gives insight into the configurational requirement of the firs
t sugar residue and opens the way to a new class of antitumour anthrac
yclines.
