Carbon-branched δ-tetrahydrofuran sugar amino acids (SAAs) as dipeptide isostere scaffolds

The synthesis of the first branched sugar amino acid (SAA) scaffolds [methyl (3 R,4 R,5 R)-5-azidomethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate and methyl (3 R,4 R,5 S)-5-azidomethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate] by an efficient intramolecular displacement of a highly hindered ne...

Description
Summary:The synthesis of the first branched sugar amino acid (SAA) scaffolds [methyl (3 R,4 R,5 R)-5-azidomethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate and methyl (3 R,4 R,5 S)-5-azidomethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-3-carboxylate] by an efficient intramolecular displacement of a highly hindered neopentyl triflate allows access to enantiopure THF derivatives which have carbon substituents.
