Branched tetrahydrofuran alpha,alpha-disubstituted-delta-sugar amino acid scaffolds from branched sugar lactones: a new family of foldamers?

Efficient SN2 ring closure of open chain trihydroxytriflates-in which the leaving group is on a primary carbon adjacent to a quaternary centre-provides access to tetrahydrofurans with branched carbon chains from branched carbohydrate lactones; the first examples of a new class of branched chain tetr...

Summary:Efficient SN2 ring closure of open chain trihydroxytriflates-in which the leaving group is on a primary carbon adjacent to a quaternary centre-provides access to tetrahydrofurans with branched carbon chains from branched carbohydrate lactones; the first examples of a new class of branched chain tetrahydrofuran α,α-disubstituted-δ-sugar amino acid scaffolds are described. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
