The nitrogen function was introduced by aza-Claisen rearrangement of the allylic thiocyanate 7, derived from the corresponding alcohol 6. The absolute configuration of the newly created chiral carbon center (C-3) was assigned by X-ray diffraction analysis of the intermediate 3(S)-isothiocyanato-D-glycero-D-galacto-decose 8a. %K C-Glycosyl amino acids %K C-Glycosyl alanine %K [3 %K 3]-Sigmatropic rearrangements %K Microwave irradiation %K X-ray diffraction %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/13/12/3171
