Abstract

New metal-free one-pot synthesis of α-2-deoxy-ulosides in moderate to good yields by microwave-assisted double Michael addition of various O-nucleophiles to β-enamino ketones in the presence of 12 N HCl. These glycosyl additions occurred with high α-stereoselectivity and were complete in 10-25 min in 51-93% yield. In addition, high α-stereoselectivity was also observed when S-nucleophiles were examined.

Keywords: 2-Deoxy-Uloside; 2-Deoxyglycoside; Michael addition; Microwave; β-Enamino ketone.
