M. Koos, An alternative route to 2-deoxysugar and 2,3-unsaturated sugar derivativesvia the corresponding 1-nitro-1-alkenes, TETRAHEDR L, 41(28), 2000, pp. 5403-5406
An efficient method for the preparation of suitably O-protected 2-deoxysuga
r oximes starting from corresponding sugar 1-nitro-1-alkenes and using tin(
II) chloride as a reducing agent is described. The prepared oximes were fur
ther transformed into either free 2-deoxysugars or 2-deoxysugar nitriles an
d acids. 2,3-Unsaturated sugar oximes were also prepared starting from O-ac
etylated sugar 1-nitroalkenes. The preparation of 2-deoxy-D-glucose is repr
esentative. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
