A series of carbamate derivatives of Hoechst 33258 was prepared as potential anticancer agents. These new compounds (1-4) were readily prepared in good yields by addition of chloroethyl, bromoethyl, chloropropyl or 4-(chloromethyl)phenyl isocyanates to Hoechst 33258. Their cytotoxic activity was

To develop a convenient method for the preparation of an alpha-Kdo derivative carrying a functional spacer at the reducing end, we examined anomeric O-acylation using Kdo and halogenated alkyl/aryl isocyanates as nucleophile and electrophiles, respectively. Reaction of a Kdo derivative
