Prior to their identification, the main products of this reaction were isolated using solid- phase extraction (SPE) as well as preparative HPLC. They were then identified by NMR and MS as 3-benzyl-4-hydroxy-5-(D- arabino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutyl)- 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione, 3-benzyl-4-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-5-(D-erythro-1,2,3- trihydroxypropyl)- 1,3-oxazolidine-2-thione, N-benzyl-(D-gluco-4,5-dihydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydropyrano)[2,3-b] oxazolidine-2-thione and 3-benzyl-4-(N-benzyl amino)-5-(D-arabino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutyl)-1,3-thiazolidine-2-thione . The identity of the last compound was secured by X-ray crystal structure data. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved}, language = {en} }
