Branched-chain sugars. Part V. Identification and synthesis of vinelose
Abstract
6-Deoxy-2-O,3-C-dimethyl-L-talose (24) has been synthesised from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methyl-α-D-allofuranose (3) and shown to be identical with vinelose, a component of two cytidine nucleotides isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii strain O.
