Total synthesis of pentosidine

Org Lett. 2012 Sep 7;14(17):4678-81. doi: 10.1021/ol3021226. Epub 2012 Aug 21.

Abstract

Pentosidine, a biologically important advanced glycation endproduct, has been accessed in a rapid, high-yielding manner. The synthesis was accomplished via a six-step sequence starting with 3-amino-2-chloropyridine and features a palladium-catalyzed tandem cross-coupling/cyclization to construct the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine core.
