Synthesis, Characterization, and Reactions of Mono and Bicyclic Phostones

Synthesis of Glycophostones: Cyclic Phosphonate Analogues of Biologically Relevant Sugars

“…Such molecules would correspond to functionalized versions of cyclic phosphonates also known as phostones (Figure ). Following earlier reports of simple phostones, we disclosed our syntheses of d -gluco, d -manno, and disaccharide phostones, including X-ray crystal structures that revealed interesting functional features at phosphorus Withers, and their respectives co-workers.…”
