A simple synthesis in high yield of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosylamine, an intermediate in the preparation of N-substituted ribofuranosides
Abstract
2,3-Isopropylidene-β-D-ribofuranosylamine is obtained in high yield by the reaction of D-ribopyranosylamine with acetone, 2,2-dimethoxypropane, and toluene-p-sulphonic acid.
