Synthesis and NMR Spectra of 1,6-Anhydro-2,3-dideoxy-2,3-epimino- and 1,6-Anhydro-3,4-dideoxy-3,4-epimino-β-D-hexopyranoses

Abstract

A complete series of 2,3-dideoxy-2,3-epimino- and 3,4-dideoxy-3,4-epimino-1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses were prepared by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of the corresponding trans-azido tosylates or trans-azido epoxides of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses. The structure of the epimino derivatives was confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectra.
