Complex tetrahydrofurans from carbohydrate lactones: THF amino acids as building blocks for unnatural biopolymers
The multi-gram syntheses of two epimeric six-carbon tetrahydrofurancarboxylates based upon a D-arabinofuranose template are described. An approach to 3-O-benzyl protected derivatives is also detailed. Introduction of nitrogen at C-6 of these scaffolds leads to the generation of building blocks suita...
