J. Gonda et al., Stereocontrolled introduction of an amino group at C-6 of D-galactose via (3,3)-sigmatropic rearrangements - novel synthesis of lincosamine and 7-epi-lincosamine precursors, TETRAHEDR L, 41(4), 2000, pp. 525-529
A new and stereoselective route to the aminoglycoside components of the ant
ibiotics lincomycin and clindamycin is presented, The key step involves dia
stereoselective introduction of the amino group at C-6 of D-galactose by (3
,3)-sigmatropic rearrangements of the corresponding allylic (Z)-trifluoroac
etimidate and (Z)- and (E)-allylic thiocyanates. Epoxidation of the resulti
ng trifluoroacetamide with m-CPBA led to the epoxide with high threo-select
ivity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
