Thionization Method of Glycosyl Urea and Carbamide Sugars

This work is describing a thionization method for glycosyl urea and carbamide of sugars by using the Lawesson’s reagent. It is proposed the method based on the interaction of glycosyl urea and carbamide of sugars with the Lawessons reagent at a 1:1 ratio in the presence of a pyridine. As a result, sulfur-containing derivatives of sugar carbamides are obtained with the help of Lawesson’s reagent. Obtained experimental data are indicating the developed new method for thionization of sugar carbamides, which opens up broad possibilities for synthesis of various carbohydrate derivatives of thiourea. Significance of this work is that, thiourea derivatives are promising bactericidal, fungicidal and anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, the preparation of thiourea derivatives and the study of their properties remain topical tasks in the field of chemistry.
