Imino-C-nucleoside synthesis: heteroaryl lithium carbanion additions to a carbohydrate cyclic imine and nitrone

J Org Chem. 2004 Mar 19;69(6):2217-20. doi: 10.1021/jo035744k.

Abstract

Promotion by Lewis acid of the addition of some aryllithiums to a carbohydrate-based imine, which has allowed a more facile synthesis of some imino-C-nucleoside analogues, is described. Use of the corresponding nitrone does not assist in some cases, but lithiated acetonitrile adds to it efficiently to give a product from which further C-nucleoside analogues can be derived.
