title: A synthesis of L-vancosamine derivatives from non-carbohydrate precursors by a short sequence based on the Marshall, McDonald, and Du Bois reactions.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The carbamate-protected l-vancosamine glycal, viewed as a universal precursor for vancosamine derivatives, was prepared by a short scheme based on diastereoselective addition of an allenyl stannane to a lactaldehyde ether, the tungsten-catalyzed alkynol cycloisomerization, and the rhodium-catalyzed C-H insertion of a carbamate nitrogen. This sequence is a prototype for a new and efficient strategy for the synthesis of 3-amino sugar derivatives. The key intermediate was elaborated to the silyl ether of N,N-dimethyl vancosamine glycal.
