An easy stereospecific synthesis of 1-amino-2,5-anhydro-1-deoxy-D-mannitol and arylamino derivatives

Carbohydr Res. 1999 Feb 28;315(3-4):339-44. doi: 10.1016/s0008-6215(99)00040-3.

Abstract

1-Amino-2,5-anhydro-1-deoxy-D-mannitol and a series of arylamino derivatives were prepared by nitrous acid deamination of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose and subsequent reductive amination of the resulting 2,5-anhydro-D-mannose. Some of these compounds showed an enhanced affinity for the hexose transporter of Trypanosoma brucei as compared to D-fructose.
