4.8.3. Synthesis of 8 from 7. A solution of sodium metaperiodate
(370 mg, 1.7 mmol) in water (5 mL) was added dropwise to a vig-
orously stirred ice-cold solution of 7 (240 mg, 1.6 mmol) in MeOH
(15 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h, then filtered at
the pump and the filter cake was washed with MeOH. The com-
bined filtrates were concentrated to ca. 10 mL and then extracted
with CHCl3 (3ꢂ20 mL). The combined CHCl3 extracts were washed
with water, dried, and concentrated under reduced pressure.

Compound 6 was prepared by the method of Leonard et al.29 A
solution of sodium metaperiodate (692 mg, 3.2 mmol) in water
(10 mL) was added dropwise to a vigorously stirred ice-cold solu-
tion of 3 (400 mg, 3.0 mmol) in MeOH (20 mL). The reaction mix-
ture was stirred for 3 h, filtered off, and washed with MeOH. The
combined filtrates were concentrated to ca. 10 mL and then
extracted with CHCl3 (3ꢂ20 mL). The combined CHCl3 extracts
were washed with water, dried, and concentrated under reduced

A solution of hydroxylamine hydrochloride (360 mg, 5.5 mmol)
and CH3COONa (760 mg, 5.5 mmol) in water (15 mL) was stirred in
an ice-bath. To this solution was added a solution of aldehyde 3
(230 mg, 1.7 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL). The mixture was stirred at 0 ꢀC
for 2 h and then it was stirred at rt for 1 h. The reaction mixture was
concentrated in vacuo; the residue was dissolved in water and
extracted with DCM (3ꢂ20 mL). The combined organic layers were
washed with water, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under
reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chro-
matography eluting with 90% hexane/ethyl acetate to give oxime 7

(33 mL) at 0 ꢀC under a nitrogen atmosphere was slowly added
acetic anhydride (31.5 mL, 333 mmol). The reaction mixture was
stirred at 0 ꢀC for 1 h before a catalytic amount of DMAP (200 mg,
1.67 mmol) was added. As the reaction mixture was allowed to
reach rt, it becomes slightly exothermic. After 6 h, the clear yellow
mixture was slowly poured into rapidly stirred ice-water (125 mL),
giving a sticky solid. After EtOAc extraction (3ꢂ45 mL), evaporation
of the solvent and co-evaporation with dry toluene (3ꢂ20 mL),
peracetylated glucose was obtained as a yellow solid (5.84 g, 90%). A

lution was added to freshly activated 4 A molecular sieves (2 g) and
thiourea (500 mg, 6.6 mmol). The mixture was maintained at reflux
temperature (60 ꢀC) under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2.5 h, cooled,
and filtered through Celite. Solvent removal and trituration of the
syrupy residue with hexane (3ꢂ20 mL) gave the isothiouronium
bromide 7 as a colorless amorphous powder. The crude product
was dissolved in DCM (20 mL), a solution of Na2S2O5 (2.00 g) in
water (20 mL) was added, and the mixture was maintained at reflux
under a nitrogen atmosphere for 1 h. After cooling, the organic
layer was separated and washed with water, saturated NaCl solu-
tion, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced
pressure to give a residue. Pure 9 was obtained by flash column
chromatography on silica gel eluting with 0e3% MeOH/DCM as

added hydroxylamine hydrochloride (1.24 g, 17.8 mmol). The mix-
ture was stirred at rt for 48 h. The reaction mixture was concen-
trated in vacuo and then the residue was dissolved in water and
extracted with CHCl3 (3ꢂ20 mL). The combined organic layers were
