Abstract
Starting from TRIS [2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol] via its thia analogue, 2-amino-2- (mercaptomethyl)propane-1,3-diol double cyclocondensation with formaldehyde, we report a four steps synthesis of the first term in the title series of compounds, bearing the exploitable hydroxymethyl functionality at the C-5 position. Conformational analysis is discussed based on DFT calculations and 1H-DNMR.
