Synthesis of 4-Carbamoyl-2-oxazolidinones C-4-Linked with a Saccharide Moiety via Bucherer-Bergs Reaction of Hexofuranos-5-uloses

Journal article, 2002

Application of the Bucherer-Bergs reaction to 6-O-unprotected hexofuranos-5-uloses led to the formation of 4-carbamoyl-2-oxazolidinones C-4-linked with a carbohydrate moiety instead of expected carbohydrate-C-5-linked hydantoin (imidazolidin-2,4-dione) derivatives. Starting from hexofuranos-5-uloses having all hydroxyl groups suitably protected, only corresponding saccharide-linked hydandoins were obtained.
