An Alternate and Facile Method for the Synthesis of Precursors of 3- and 6- Aminosugar Donors and a One-Pot Glycosylation Approach

The synthesis of 3- and 6- aminosugars from the old route requires many synthetic steps and is challenging. An alternative approach is to utilize acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of kanamycin derivatives. The 3-and 6 aminosugar donor was synthesized in just two steps with excellent yield and cost-effective. The acidic hydrolysis of these aminoglycosides provided not only the 3-and 6-aminosugars, but the direct chemical glycosylation of these aminosugars was proven feasible using isopropanol and octanol as the acceptor
