Hy. Zhang et al., SYNTHESIS OF 4-AMINOCARBONYL-2-THIAZOYL)-1,4-ANHYDRO-L-XYLITOLS AND THEIR FLUORO DERIVATIVES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(1), 1998, pp. 141-149
3,5-O-Benzylidene-2-C-cyano-1,4-anhydro-L-xylitol 7 was synthesized st
ereoselectively from D-xylose in 7 steps. 4-Aminocarbonyl-2-thiazoyl)-
1,4-anhydro-L-xylitols and their fluoro derivatives were synthesized f
rom the cyanohydrin 7. Fluorination of compound 9 proceeded with reten
tion of configuration using diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST). (C)
