Snuh. Kazmi et al., A REGIOSELECTIVE ONE-POT SYNTHESIS AND SYNTHETIC APPLICATIONS OF CYANODEOXY SUGARS BY CYANOTRIMETHYLSILANE, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 50(2), 1995, pp. 294-302
The regioselective epoxide opening of different 2,3-anhydropyranoses b
y cyanotrimethylsilane is investigated. The isolated cyanodeoxy pyrano
ses allow easy access to the corresponding branched-chains aminomethyl
sugars by lithium aluminium hydride reduction or sugar amides by cont
rolled acid hydrolysis.
