Dq. Shi et al., STUDIES ON THE SYNTHESIS OF METHYL-5-O-BE NZOYL-2,3-DIDEOXY-3-NITRO-D-PENTAFURANOSIDE, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 17(10), 1996, pp. 1586-1588
The synthesis of methyl-5-O-benzoyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-nitro-alpha-and beta
-D-pentafuranoside 1a and 1b from D-(+)-xylose is described. The four
isomers, the intermediates for synthesis of 1a and 1b, methyl-5-O-benz
oyl-3-deoxy-3-nitro-D-ribo and D-xylo, alpha, beta-pentofuranoside 7a,
7b, 7c and 7d were separated and identified. The isomerization of C-3
nitro group of compounds 6, 7 were studied.
