We report here the synthetic strategy towards a novel ribose-derived -SAA . Commercially available diacetone- -D-glucose was used as a starting material in a multistep synthesis. Acquired SAA monomer was further used in the synthesis of the corresponding homooligopeptides . 1H NMR-based solvent titration method was applied to analyze oligomers and provided evidence for possible intramolecular hydrogen bonding. We assume that further elongation of latter oligosaccharides will lead to novel SAA derivatives that will form well-ordered secondary structures.
