Synthesis of Naturally Occurring Arsenic-Containing Carbohydrates

Abstract

We report the synthesis of (S)-2'-hydroxy-3'-sulfonylpropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-ß-d-riboside ammonium salt and (S)-2'-hydroxy-3'-sulfooxypropyl 5-deoxy-5-dimethylarsinoyl-ß-d-riboside ammonium salt, two common naturally occurring arsenicals.
