alpha-Aminonitriles have been stereoselectively introduced at non-anomeric
positions of monosaccharides, in which the carbon C-alpha is one of the ato
ms of the sugar ring. Target compounds were prepared from various ulose der
ivatives and amines using titanium(IV) isopropoxide as a mild and effective
Lewis acid. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
