• position. The analogues were obtained by hydroboration of proper open-chain terminal alkenes that, after quenching with water, spontaneously afforded cyclic boronic acids with hemiacetal-like structures. Keywords: antitumor agents; boron neutron capture therapy; boronic acid; hydroboration; sugar analogue

• hybridized it is not possible to assign any α/β configuration to the position 1 of the sugar analogue. Compound 7 showed the following coupling constants: J2a,3 = 4.6 Hz, J2b,3 = 5.7 Hz, J3,4 = 1.8 Hz and J4,5 = 7.2 Hz. From these values, a chair-like conformation could be inferred, with some flattening

• -allene. The Lewis acid-induced rearrangement of this heterocycle provided the corresponding bicyclic 1,2-oxazine derivative that may be regarded as internally protected amino sugar analogue. After subsequent reduction of the carbonyl group, the resulting bicyclic compound was used for Suzuki cross
