Selective deprotection of the Cbz amine protecting group for the facile synthesis of kanamycin A dimers linked at N-3″ position
The optimal conditions for the regioselective deprotection of per-N-Cbz-kanamycin A and the reaction mechanism was investigated. We found that the Cbz group at N-3″ position was selectively deprotected under milder basic conditions and the cyclic carbamat
Regioselective modification of amino groups in aminoglycosides based on cyclic carbamate formation
Conditions for regioselective introduction of cyclic carbamate into per-N-Cbz neamine and per-N-Cbz kanamycin A have been found. The position and number of cyclic carbamate formed in these two aminoglycosides was controllable. On the base of selective cyclic carbamate formation, regioselective modification on N-1, N-6′ or both amino groups in neamine, and on N-6′, N-3″ or both amino groups in kanamycin A was achieved by ring-opening reaction with amines. A new neamine dimer linked at the N-1 was also synthesized with this method.
