Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Arsenic-Containing Carbohydrates

Abstract

We report the synthesis of (S)-2′-hydroxy-3′-sulfonylpropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-β-d-riboside ammonium salt and (S)-2′-hydroxy-3′-sulfooxypropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-β-d-riboside ammonium salt, two common naturally occurring arsenicals.
