It is reported that the diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBALH) reduction of inosine and adenosine derivatives (1a and 1d) causes cleavage of the ribose moiety to give the corresponding 9-ribitylhypoxanthine (2a) and 9-ribityladenine (2d), respectively. The substitution effect of purine nucleosides on

To explain the remarkable regioselective de-O-benzylating properties of diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL-H) and triisobutylaluminium (TIBAL) towards polybenzylated sugars or cyclodextrins, we propose a plausible mechanistic rationale critically involving the kinetic formation of a product-generating 2:1 Al-benzylated sugar complex.

A general method for the synthesis of enantiopure non-natural alpha-amino acids is described. The key intermediate tert-butyl (2S)-2-[bis(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxopentanoate was obtained from l-glutamic acid after suitable protection and selective reduction of the gamma-methyl ester group by DIBALH.
