title: An efficient synthesis of mimetics of neamine for RNA recognition.
abstract: As mimetics of neamine, several 4-heterocyclic 2-deoxystreptamine derivatives were chemically synthesized for RNA recognition. Conversion of 4-methylthiomethyl-5,6-di-O-acetyl-diazido-2-deoxystreptamine to the 4-chloromethyl derivative followed by reactions with different nuclophilic reagents gave the 4-heterocyclic 2-deoxystreptamine derivatives in satisfactory yields.
