title: Convenient synthesis of branched-chain glycosamines by radical addition of nitromethane to glycals.
abstract: Radical addition-reduction-acetylation is the simple three-step sequence for the synthesis of branched-chain glycosamines 3 from glycals 1 and nitromethane (2). The intermediary formed 2-C-nitromethyl-pyranosides are valuable precursors for the synthesis of C-2 branched disaccharides.
