The reaction of phenylhydrazine with a sugar dialdehyde in water, as a key step for the synthesis of the 3-amino-3-deoxy-d-glucose moiety contained in kanamycin, has been revisited. Structural studies (IR and NMR as well as a simple theoretical model based on energy-minimization calculations and MD calculations) reported herein support the...

Reductive amination of formyl C-glycofuranosides, easily available from hexose-derived equatorial-2-OH-glycopyranosides by DAST-promoted ring contraction, afforded N-substituted 1-C-aminomethyl glycofuranosides in most cases in high yield.
