title: Synthesis, the crystal structure, and high-resolution NMR spectroscopy of methyl 4-O-acetyl-3-azido-2,3,6-trideoxy-6-iodo-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside.
abstract: Selective tosylation followed by acetylation of methyl 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (1) in pyridine at room temperature affords a mixture of methyl 4-O-acetyl-3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-6-di-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (4) and methyl 3-azido-2,3-dideoxy-4,6-di-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (3). Compound 4 undergoes nucleophilic displacement with sodium iodide in acetic anhydride to give methyl 4-O-acetyl-3-azido-2,3,6-trideoxy-6-iodo-alpha-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (7), whose crystal structure and (1H) and (13)C NMR data are reported. This compound adopts the 4C(1) conformation.
