C. Gasch et al., Isothiocyanato derivatives of sugars in the stereoselective synthesis of spironucleosides and spiro-C-glycosides, TETRAHEDR-A, 12(9), 2001, pp. 1267-1277
A stereocontrolled synthesis of pyranoid and furanoid spironucleosides and
spiro-C-glycosides (D-ribo and D-arabino configurations) of oxazolidines, o
xazolines and perhydrooxazines via isothiocyanato sugar derivatives is repo
rted. The intermediate isothiocyanates are prepared from sugar spiroketals
by stereoselective opening of the acetal ring with trimethylsilyl N- and C-
nucleophiles, and later formation of the isothiocyanato group. (C) 2001 Els
