title: Trimethylsilylnitrate-trimethylsilyl azide: a novel reagent system for the synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosyl azides from glycals. Application in the synthesis of 2-deoxy-beta-N-glycopeptides.
abstract: A novel reagent system comprising Me(3)SiN(3) and 20 mol % of Me(3)SiONO(2) permits conversion of glycals to 1-azido 2-deoxy sugars in one step in fair to good yields. Galactals offer higher stereoselectivities than do the glucals. Reduction of the azide group with Ph(3)P-H(2)O to amino functionality followed by coupling with amino acids leads to the synthesis of novel 2-deoxy-beta-N-glycopeptides irrespective of the geometry of initial azido sugars. Using this protocol, a new gamma-sugar amino acid derivative is also procured.
