The chemical synthesis of pentosidine (1), an advanced glycation end product, was achieved via the asymmetric alkylation of the chiral schiff base derived from (+)-2-hydroxy-3-pinanone ((+)-HyPN) and glycine tert-butyl ester, the mercury salt mediated intramolecular guanylation, and the regioselective alkylation of imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine ring. This reliable synthetic achievement will promise availability of pentosidine (1) in quantities.
