Esters of proteinogenic amino acids efficiently catalyse the formation of erythrose and threose under aqueous conditions in the highest yields and enantioselectivities yet reported. Remarkably while esters of (L)-proline yield (L)-carbohydrates, esters of (L)-leucine and (L)-alanine generate (D)-carbohydrates, offering the

Hyperglycemia, oxidative stress, and the onset and progression of diabetic complications are strongly linked. Reduction of oxidative stress could be of utmost importance in the long-term treatment of diabetic patients. The chronic nature of the disease calls for a mode

TNA (alpha-( l)-threofuranosyl-(3'-2') nucleic acid) is a nucleic acid in which the ribofuranose building block of the natural nucleic acid RNA is replaced by the tetrofuranose alpha-( l)-threose. This shortens the repetitive unit of the backbone by one bond as

As part of a project that aims at screening TNA-related oligonucleotide systems in which threose backbone units may have some or all of their oxygen functions replaced by nitrogen, two TNA analogs containing (2'NH)- and (3'NH)-phosphoramidate groups, respectively, in place

Primary alkoxyl free radicals were generated from their readily synthesized N-phthalimido derivatives under reductive conditions. Primary alkoxyl radicals derived from their corresponding xylo- and ribofuranose derivatives underwent, exclusively, an unusual beta-fragmentation affording L-threose and D-erythrose derivatives, respectively. This occurs because
