Arynes in the Monoarylation of Unprotected Carbohydrate Amines

Org Lett. 2018 Feb 2;20(3):616-619. doi: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b03741. Epub 2018 Jan 23.

Abstract

A CsF-mediated method has been developed for the N-arylation of amino sugars that affords good to excellent yields of arylated products under mild conditions involving the in situ generation of arynes. The reaction conditions tolerate a variety of common carbohydrate protecting groups and also performs exceptionally well on unprotected amino sugar derivatives. The reactions are scalable in moderate to good yields with broad scope.
