Abstract
A new monosaccharide-based scaffold has been designed and synthesized. The scaffold can be used to build compound libraries for HTS against carbohydrate-processing enzymes and related therapeutic targets. Undesired pyrane ring-opening of the 2,3-unsaturated intermediate during reduction with LiALH4 is described.
Keywords: C-glycoside, scaffold, pyrane ring-opening, allylic oxidation of C-glycosides
