Chemical modification of aminoglycosides. 3. Synthesis of 2"-deoxykanamycins from neamine

Abstract
The preparation of 2"-deoxykanamycin B and 2",3'',4''-trideoxykanamycin B from neamine is described. Key intermediates in the synthesis of these 2"-deoxyaminoglycoside antibiotics are 3'',4''-bis-O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)-1,2'',3,6''-tetrakis-N-(trifluoroacetyl)neamine and 3'',4''-dideoxy-1,2'',3,6''-tetrakis-N-(trifluoroacetyl)neamine. The amino groups of these intermediates are blocked by the trifluoroacetyl group, a blocking group not widely used in aminoglycoside chemistry.
