Synthesis of Different 3,5‐Diazidofuranoses: A New and General Synthesis Pathway

Diamino‐ and diazidofuranoses represent useful precursors, for example, for the synthesis of substituted nucleosides and metal complexes, respectively. Known procedures for their synthesis lack the availability of cheap starting materials, adequate yields, and the access to all possible diastereomeres. Therefore, 3,5‐diazido‐3,5‐dideoxy‐ and ‐2,3,5‐trideoxyfuranoses both with ribo‐ and xylo‐configuration were prepared using different approaches.
