Glycal amides were prepared for the first time by reacting 2‐iodo‐D‐glycals with L‐amino acid esters via a Pd‐catalyzed carbonylative cross‐coupling reaction, by using Mo(CO)6 as the carbon monoxide source. Glycal amides were synthesized in moderate to good yields under our optimized conditions. In addition, the acetyl groups of the glucal amides could be readily removed to obtain the corresponding trihydroxy derivatives in good yields.
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.
