Reaction Steps

Anhydrous sodium acetate (15 g) was added to a solution of 3-cyclohexylmethyl-3-(n-butyl α-D-glucopyranose-3-yl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)urea (3.94 g, 9.02 mmol) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (120 ml) and acetic acid (20 ml), and dinitrogen tetraoxide gas (4 g) was introduced into the mixture with well stirring at 0° to 5° C. spending 5 minutes. After the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for further 30 minutes to complete reaction, n-hexane (200 ml) was added and insoluble matter was filtered off. The filtrate was vacuum-concentrated at 25° C. and fractionated by column chromatography (packing: silica gel; eluent: ethyl acetate/chloroform/methanol (2:10:1) to isolate the objective product. Thus, 1.62 g of 3-cyclohexylmethyl-3-(n-butyl α-D-glucopyranose-3-yl)-1-(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea was obtained; yield 38.5%, m.p. 75°-77° C., [α]D20 +47.2° (C 1.0, methanol).
