Synthesis and chemistry of new sugar-derived diazoesters and acyl azides /

Abstract

This thesis deals with the synthesis of new diazo- and azidosugars, the chemistry ofwhich can lead to several types of novel compounds. Through the use of metal catalysts or heat, intramolecular insertions can occur which mayor may not occur at C-l of the sugar ring possibly creating a glycoside. Additionally, the formation of a sugarheterocycle hybrid, via a [3+2] cycloaddition, may be optimized towards the production of compounds, which might mimic a specific oligosaccharide.
