Claim:
A process comprising the step of reacting a compound of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, with a compound of formula II: to produce a compound of formula III: wherein, Each R 1 is independently hydrogen, acyl, silane, a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group, a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated alicyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic group, saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic group; Each of R 3 and R 4 is independently hydrogen, acyl, a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated aliphatic group, a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated alicyclic group, a substituted or unsubstituted aromatic group, a substituted or unsubstituted heteroaromatic group, saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic group; or can be taken together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached to form a substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic or heteroaromatic ring; Q is independently R 1 , OR 1 , or OC(O)R 1 ; Z is R 1 , OR 1 , OC(O)R 1 , OC(O)NR 3 R 4 , OS(O) n R 1 , or one of J or G is hydrogen and the other is R 1 , OR 1 , or NR 3 R 4 ; or, J and G, taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, are C═O, C═NR 1 , C═NOR 1 , C═NO(CH 2 ) m R 1 , C═NNHR 1 , C═NNHCOR 1 , C═NNHCONR 3 R 4 , C═NNHS(O) n R 1 , or C═N—N═CHR 1 ; R 11 is independently R 1 ; R p is independently R 1 ; m is an integer between 1 and about 24; and n is 0, 1, or 2.
