Abstract

2-Deoxy-D-arabitzo-hexose'(2deoxy-D-glucose)(17) is a natural sugar of considerable interest in that it not only inhibits yeast fermentation, bacterial growth, and D-glucose utilization in muscle and tumor growth2, but has also been used as a D-glucose analog in the study of various aspects of carbohydrate transport and metabolism_ Numerous synthetic routes have been developed for the synthesis of this important compound and of its methyl ...
