Molecular Diversity Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Here we present an overview of our work on the glycosylation of biologically relevant heterocycles.An array of stereochemically pure C-glycosylated dihydropyrimidine and dihydropyridine derivatives (artificial nucleosides) has been prepared. Our strategy involved the synthesis of suitably designed C-glycosylated reagents and their use as components in Biginelli and Hantzsch cyclocondensations. Molecular diversity has been explored within the collection on the basis of the nature and the number of sugar residues as well as their positions in the heterocyclic rings.
