Synthesis of 3-C-(methyl beta-D-xylofuranosid-3-yl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole

Carbohydr Res. 1999 May 31;318(1-4):157-61. doi: 10.1016/s0008-6215(99)00106-8.

Abstract

Nucleophilic addition of KCN to 5-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-erythro-pentofuranos-3-++ +ulose gave the xylo cyanohydrin stereoselectively. Several xylos-3-yl-1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives were synthesized from this cyanohydrin and were converted into 3-C-(methyl beta-D-xylofuranosid-3-yl)-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole.
