Hydrazinolysis of Dl-1,4-dibromo-1,4-dideoxy-chiro-inositol (3a), followed by catalytic hydrogenation and acetylation, afforded di-N-acetyl-tetra-O-acetyl-neo-inosadiamine-1,3 (6a) and -scyllo-inosadiamine-1,3 (7) in 18% and 24% yields, respectively. From the intact hydrazinolyzate of 3a, two new stereoisomeric 1,3-biimino-1,3-dideoxy-inositols (4a and 5a) could be isolated, and their structures were established by correlating to the corresponding inosadiamines. A similar hydrazinolysis of 3,6-di-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-muco-inositol (12) gave sole crystalline 1,3-biimino compound (13a), whose structure was followed from its conversion into known di-N-acetyltetra-O-acetyl-myo-inosadiamine-4,6 (14). PMR spectra of four 1,3-biimino compounds were discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
