Abstract:
An improved practical synthesis of L-vancosamine-related glycosyl donors is described. The key steps include (1) stereoselective addition of methylcerium reagent to oximino ether and (2) stereoselective hydrogenation of exocyclic unsaturated glycoside in the presence of Wilkinson catalyst with C(5) inversion to give L-vancosamine derivatives. Three glycosyl donors were prepared, and their reactivities in the aryl C-glycoside formation were compared. Conversion of primary amine and azide to the corresponding N,N-dimethyl derivative is also described.

Carboxylic acid derivatives like acid chlorides and esters are more easily reducible than the corresponding acids. The derivatives reduce in the presence of mild reducing agents to give aldehydes. Aldehydes can also be prepared by Rosenmund reduction, that is, the reduction of acid...
