Alkylating agents from sugars: synthesis of chlorambucil derivatives carried by chiral glycosyl glycerols derived from D-glucosamine

Chirality. 2002 Feb-Mar;14(2-3):199-203. doi: 10.1002/chir.10061.

Abstract

Chlorambucilamide derivatives involving chiral glycosyl glycerols derived from D-glucosamine were synthesized in good yield by coupling the chlorambucil moiety to the amino group of omega-amino-(omega-1)-hydroxyalkyl 2-acylamino-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosides, and subsequent hydrolysis of the benzylidene group. The starting material was easily available from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose. The bonding of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-pivaloyl-beta-D-galactopyranosylamine to chlorambucil by formation of an amide function is also described.
