Unprotected 3-keto-saccharides have become readily accessible via site-selective oxidation, but their protection-free functionalization is relatively unexplored. Here we show that protecting groups are obsolete in a variety of stereoselective modifications of our model substrate methyl α-glucopyranoside. This allows the preparation of rare sugars and the installation of click handles and reactive groups. To showcase the applicability of the methodology, maltoheptaose has been converted into a chemical probe, and the rare sugar evalose has been synthesized.
Streptozotocin analogs

New 3-methyl-3-nitrosoureido derivatives of the following amino sugars were prepared as analogs of streptozotocin with the anomeric carbon protected, by nitrosating the methylureas in water with N2 O3 : 3-amino-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose; methyl 3-amino-3-deoxy-β-D-xylopyranoside; methyl 3-amino-3-deoxy-α-D-altropyranoside; methyl 3-amino-3-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside; and methyl 3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy-α-L-lyxohexopyranoside. Tests against murine leukemia L1210 show that the anticancer activity of streptozotocin not only was retained but was enhanced in most of these derivatives.
