Benzyl 2-deoxy-2-(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylamino)-α-D-glucopyranoside

Abstract

The title compound, C28H41NO6, was obtained by reduction of benzyl 2-de­oxy-2-(3,5-di-tert-but­ylsalicylideneamino)-α-d-gluco­pyran­oside. The benzyl substituent is in an axial position, whereas the 3,5-di-tert-butyl­salicylamino substituent and the hydroxyl groups are in equatorial positions. The enantio­merically pure title compound is a potential O,N,O-chelate ligand suitable as a precursor for chiral transition metal complexes. The absolute configuration was determined by NMR experiments.
