Synthesis of new 2-C-(2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene)-beta-D-mannofuranosyldithioacetate derivatives.

Various new C-glycosides have been synthesized through the thioacylation reaction of different amines by a 2-C-mannofuranosyldithioacetate. Amino acids, di- and polyamines (putresceine, spermine, spermidine) and one amino alcohol were in particular used to generate glycothiopeptidic or precursors of "bola" structures.
