Synthesis and decomposition of novel diazosugars

Abstract

This thesis deals with the synthesis and decomposition of diazodeoxy furanose sugar derivatives. the decomposition of these diazodeoxy sugars not only led to the desired insertion products, but also novel ketone derivatives and dimeric ethers. Furthermore, a new synthetic pathway was discovered for the synthesis of azidodeoxy compounds through an interesting side-reaction en route to one of these diazodeoxy sugars.
