The Hantzsch reaction of C-glycosyl aldehyde/enamino ester/beta-ketoester systems under l-proline catalysis to give dihydropyridine C-glycoconjugates is reported. Asymmetric cyclocondensations of differentially substituted enamine and beta-dicarbonyl components with formyl alpha-L-C-threofuranoside and with the alpha-D-isomer were also carried out. Each reaction occurred
TNA (alpha-L-threose nucleic acids) is potentially a natural nucleic acid, that might have acted as an evolutionary alternative of RNA. We determined the catalytic activity of hammerhead ribozymes containing a threofuranosyl-modified nucleoside at position U4 and U7, and compared these

Extensive collagen cross-linking affects the mechanical competence of articular cartilage: it can make the cartilage stiffer and more brittle. The concentrations of the best known cross-links, pyridinoline and pentosidine, can be accurately determined by destructive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We
Cytosine TNA promotes nonenzymatic, template-directed oligomerization of complementary activated rGMP, leading to selective and efficient formation of RNA products. This process models "genetic takeover" of a pre-RNA by RNA. [reaction: see text]

A general strategy for the synthesis of 1-deoxy-azasugars from a chiral glycine equivalent and 4-carbon building blocks is described. Diastereoselective aldol additions of metalated bislactim ethers to matched and mismatched erythrose or threose acetonides and intramolecular N-alkylation (by reductive amination
