Abstract
2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS) mimic was to be synthesized in several steps from commercially available diacetone-D-glucose in an effort to prepare novel amino acid residues for antiviral therapeutic development. The method presented in this paper was given up due to unexpected problems occurring at three of the 10 steps. A new method, which uses xylitol as the starting material and takes fewer steps, is to be used.
