Abstract

A series of new 2-, 3- and 4-benzylamino-2-, 3- and 4-deoxy derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses were prepared from 1,6:2,3- and 1,6:3,4-dianhydro-β-D-hexopyranoses by treatment with benzylamine and converted into 2,3-(N-benzylepimino)-2,3-dideoxy- and 3,4-(N-benzylepimino)-3,4-dideoxy-β-D-hexopyranoses of the D-allo, D-galacto and D-talo configuration by Mitsunobu reaction. The structures of benzylamino and benzylimino derivatives were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR spectra.
