Dérivés d'énose- et d'ynosephosphonates et composés voisins. Communication préliminaire

Derivatives of enose- and ynosephosphonates and related compounds. Preliminary communication The gem-dibromo terminal enoses 1 and 7 are convenient sources of glycosylacetylenes which upon reaction with phosphorus electrophiles gave the phosphorusbearing acetylenic sugars 4, 5 and 8 . Compounds 5 and 8 underwent cycloaddition reactions leading to isoxazolyl-C-glycosides 6 and 9 respectively. The nitroolefinic sugar derivative 11 gave upon bromination-dehydrobromination the first example of a new kind of potentially useful synthetic intermediates, the gem-bromonitroenose 12 . The enosephosphonate 13 was also prepared from 11 . The diglycosylhydroxylamine 18 represents another type of phosphorus-bearing acetylenic sugar derivative. Some ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. data relative to the new types of phosphorus-containing sugar derivatives synthesized are given.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XX. Synthèse de sucres acétyléniques et réarrangment d'intermédiaires carbénoïdes. Communication préliminaire

Two novel methods for the synthesis of terminal acetylenic sugars, both involving a chain extension by one carbon unit, are described. In the first procedure, an aldehydo-sugar is treated with dibromomethylenetriphenyl-phosphorane, then with n-butyllithium and finally with water. The second method involves an one-step reaction between an aldehydo-sugar and dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate. The acetylenic sugars obtained are valuable synthetic intermediates for the preparation of heterocyclic C-nucleosides by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions and some examples of syntheses of this type are described. Treatment of keto-sugars with dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate led to an intermediate carbenoid species which reacted by insertion into a C? H bond in one case and underwent nucleophilic attack by a methoxy group in a second case.     

Nouveaux types de sucres acétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Novel types of acetylenic sugars The coupling, following Cadiot's procedure, of a 6-bromo-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidène-3-O-methyl-α-D -xylo-hex-5-yno-1, 4-furanose (1) with phenylacetylene, 2-propyn-1-ol or terminal acetylenic sugars gave with excellent yields the expected diynes (an enediyne when the terminal acetylene was the 3,5, 6-trideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D -glycero-hex-3-en-5-yno-1,4-furanose 7 ). The chloro analogue 8 of 1 on treatment with lithium thiophenate gave the corresponding phenylthio-acetylenic sugar 9 . An acetylene was also formed by reacting the gem-difluoro-olefinic sugar 10 with butyllithium whereas the same olefinic sugar and its 3-O-benzyl analogue 11 gave only a gem-fluoro-arylthio-olefinic sugar (13–15) as a mixture of the Z and E isomers (Z/E > 4) when treated with the conjugate base of an arylmercaptan.     

Dérivés diglycosyliques. Communication préliminaire

Diglycosyl Derivatives. Preliminary communication Novel types of diglycosyl compounds, some of them bearing a resemblance to natural di- or tri-saccharides are described: a diglycosyldiyne ( 1 ), a diglycosylthiophene ( 2 ), a diglycosylaziridine ( 3 ), a diglycosyldioxolane ( 4 ), as well as six C,N-diglycosylnitrones, 9b–9f and 14 . These C,N-diglycosylnitrones, on treatment with an acetylenic Grignard reagent, led to the expected acetylenic diglycosyl-hydroxylamine 11 , whereas diglycosylisoxazolines (f. ex. 10 ) were obtained when these nitrones underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition to acetylenic compounds.     

Dérivés de sucres à groupement gem-dihalogénoéthényle

Carbohydrate Derivatives Bearing a gem-Dihalogenoethenyl Group Treated with the appropriate Wittig reagent, aldehydosugar derivatives ( 1–13 ) led in good to excellent yields to the expected gem-difluoro, gem-chlorofluoro-and/or gem-dichloroenoses ( 14–29 ). Examples of their dibromo analogues had been previously described (see e.g. [1]) but the diiodo derivatives could not be isolated, The influence of the conditions on the yields is reported as well as spectroscopic properties (particularly the long-range ¹³C, ¹⁹F- and ¹H, ¹⁹F-coupling constants) of these new enoses.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XVIII Synthèse de furannoses à insaturation conjuguée. Communication préliminaire

Several sugars with conjugated unsaturation (dienes or α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds) have been synthesised by use of Wittig reactions. Keto-sugars bearing a carbonyl group α to a furanose ring are prone to undergo an elimination leading to conjugated unsaturated systems. This constitutes a novel kind of side-reaction in the application of Wittig reactions to carbonyl sugars. The synthesis of a new kind of acetylenic sugar is also described.     

Synthèse par cyclisation nucléophile de dérivés de sucres portant un hétérocycle inséré en spiro. Note de Laboratoire

Synthesis of Sugar Derivatives Bearing a Spiro Heterocycle via Nucleophilic Cyclization Treated with the 1,4-binucleophiles 1,2-diaminoethane, 2-aminoethanol, 2-aminoethanethiol, L -cysteine, o-phenylenediamine, o-aminophenol or o-aminothiophenol the ketosugar derivative 1 gave in good yields the corresponding spiro derivatives 2–8 . In each case, the reaction was stereospecific leading to the isomer bearing the N-atom on the endo face of the bicyclic starting material. Starting from the sugar enone 9 , the aromatic 1,4-binucleophiles led stereospecifically to the spirobenzo [b]-diazepine 10 , -oxazepine 11 or -thiazepine 12 . In one case, an imine (13) was isolated. As 13 cyclized to 6 , the intermediate formation of these kind of derivatives could be considered as a common step for all these reactions.     

Polyacetylenes and Cumulenes,Potential Elements for Molecular Machines and Precursors of Carbon Clusters: A Theoretical Study

A recently described very simple procedure for estimating Hartree–Fock (H. F.) energy and accurate nonrelativistic energy has been used with simple hydrocarbons possessing C?C or C?C bonds and for the acetylene dimer. Experimental characteristics (heats of formation, ionization potentials, electron affinities), structural features, and reactivity have been discussed in terms of quantum‐chemistry characteristics at the H. F. level and also at a level including a part of electron correlation. Deviations from linearity with derivatives of long polyacetylenes and cumulenes are ascribed to the lowest‐energy deformation vibrations, which decrease rapidly when passing from short to long acetylenic and cumulenic chains. The role of derivatives and heteroanalogues of hydrocarbons under study in atmospheric and interstellar chemistry is briefly mentioned. Derivatives with enhanced stability represent potentially promising construction materials for molecular devices and also resources for the preparation of defined clusters of C‐atoms.     

Synthèse de nouveaux types de dérivés C-glycosyliques à partir de sucres acétyléniques ou de leurs équivalents synthétiques partiels

Synthesis of Novel Types of C-Glycosyl-derivatives from Acetylenic Sugars or Partial Synthetic Equivalents thereof The concept of synthetic equivalent is not unequivocal and, for example, α-fluoroenamines may behave in some cases as synthetic equivalents of ynamines and, in other situations, quite differently. Some uses of these α-fluoroenamines, ‘partial synthetic equivalents’ of ynamines, for the synthesis of C-glycosyl derivatives of coumarins, chromones, quinolines, quinolones, thietenes and isoxazoles are described. We also report the preparation of a series of mono- and diglycosylthiophenes by reacting HS^? with mono- and diglycosylbutadiynes. Acetylenic sugar derivatives have also been used for the synthesis of a diglycosylazaphosphorine and a spirooxolenone.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore non stabilisés en chimie des sucres VI. Sucres ramifiés dérivés des di-O-isopropylidène-1,2:5,6-α-D-ribo-et-α-D-xylo-hexofurannosul-3-oses

The cis and trans isomers of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylthiomethylene-α-D -xylo- and -α-D -ribo-hexofuranoses have been prepared by treatment of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -xylo- and -α-D -ribo-hexofuran-3-uloses with methylthiomethylene-triphenylphosphorane. Configurations are assigned by NMR. A new type of ⁴J is described. Hydrogenation-desulfurization of the methylthiovinylic sugars affords 3-deoxy-3-methyl sugars of the D -allo, D -gulo, and D -galacto series. Derivatives of 3-deoxy-3-methyl-D -lyxose and 3-deoxy-3-methyl-D -ribose are prepared by chain-shortening of derivatives of the corresponding 3-deoxy-3-methyl-hexoses.     

Synthèse de spiro-pyrazolines par cycloaddition du diazométhane sur des sucres insaturés ramifiés. Influence de l'isomérie géométrique sur l'orientation de la réaction Communication préliminaire

The orientation of the cycloaddition of diazomethane on unsaturated branchedchain sugars has been studied. For 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-tetrofuranose the orientation was ‘normal’ and did not depend on the configuration at the double bond. The same situation prevailed with derivatives of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranose. For the 3-C-acylmethylidene- and the 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribo-hexofuranoses, the trans-(H–C(3′)–C(2))-isomer gave the ‘normal’ cycloadduct whereas the cis-isomer gave predominantly the αabnormal spiro-pyrazoline. This observation represents the first instance where the regioselectivity of a cycloaddition reaction is affected by the geometrical isomerism of the dipolarophile. The most probable explanation of the phenomenon is the conformational perturbation about the C(4)--C(5) bond of the unsaturated sugars induced by a change in the configuration at C(3). The consequence of that ‘conformational transmission’ of a difference in configuration at C(3) is that the steric crowding on the cis- than in the trans-isomer. Several novel examples of a new series of C-glycosylidenic derivatives, the spiro-pyrazolines, are described.     

Enaminosucres et sucres halogénoacétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Enamino- and Halogenoacetylenic sugars Traitment of an aldehydosugar ( 1 ) with secondary amines gave in an essentially quantitative yield the expected enamines ( 4–6 ). Chloro- and bromo-acetylenic sugars ( 11–14 ) were obtained in good yields by reacting with lithium methylphenylamide the corresponding gem-dihalo-olefinic sugars ( 7–10 ), whereas a Z-gem-fluoro-enamine ( 17 ) was formed when the difluoro-olefinic sugar 15 was submitted to the same reaction. The fluoro-enamine 17 is a useful synthetic intermediate allowing the preparation of several kinds of C-glycosylic compounds bearing heterocycles like isoxazole, chromone or coumarin.     

Mono et Diglycosylbutadiynes

Mono and Diglycosylbutadiynes Cadiot's dissymmetric coupling of bromoethynylsugar derivatives with therminal acetylenes led in good to excellent yields to the expected mono or diglycosylbutadiynes. In the same way, terminal acetylenic sugar derivatives could be coupled with bromoacetylenic compounds. Symmetric coupling of sugars bearing a bromoethynyl group has also been achieved. (UV., CD., IR., ¹H-NMR.) of these compounds are reported and discussed.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres VII. Synthèse de sucres ramifiés des types «streptose» et «apiose». Communication préliminaire

A new high-yielding route to branched-chain sugars of the streptose or the apiose type having at the branching point a configuration epimeric with that which would be obtained by the classical synthesis using Grignard reagents is described. The main steps are the preparation of branched-chain unsaturated cyano sugars by reaction of cyanomethylene triphenylphosphorane with keto sugars and the cis-dihydroxylation (KMnO₄) of the so obtained cyano sugars. The cis and the trans isomers of a series of cyanovinylidenic sugars have been separated and the stereodependence of the long-range coupling constants in this class of compounds has been examined.     

Synthèse de sucres aminés ramifiés. IV Synthèse de quelques dérivés nouveaux par l'intermédiaire d'une hexose-spiro-aziridine

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ yields a sugar-spiro-aziridine and a branched chain sulfonamide. Reaction mechanisms are briefly discussed and the configurations of the products obtained are proved by chemical reactions. With hydrogenation, the spiro compound is opened to a branched chain amino sugar with the same tertiary carbon as in vancosamine. Several derivatives of this new compound are described: the 6-deoxy sugars in series L and D and the pentose resulting from its oxidation by periodic acid. The conformation around C(4)–C(5) bond is deduced for three compounds from NMR. data.     

C-nucleosides aminoisoxazoliques. Communication préliminaire

Aminoisoxazoles C-nucleosides Upon treatment with bromocyanomethylenetriphenylphosphorane, a series of aldehydosugar derivatives gave in good to excellent yields the corresponding terminal gem-bromocyanoenoses 3 , 7–10 and 16 . Reacted with hydroxylamine, these unsaturated sugars led to the expected [3] 5-amino-3-glycosylisoxazoles 4 , 11 , 12 and 17 , whereas using hydroxyurea as a binucleophile they gave the corresponding 3-amino-5-glycosylisoxazoles 13 and 14 as previously described in other series [3]. The major interest of these compounds rests in their being close analogs (or enantiomers of analogs) of important biological compounds as f.e. AICAR.     

Préparation de phosphonates de sucres ramifiés par addition nucléophile conjuguée. Communication préliminaire

Preparation of unsaturated sugars phosphonates using nucleophilic conjugate addition Different types of phosphorus nucleophiles underwent conjugate addition reaction with one of the branched-chain sugars 4, 5 or 11 the addition taking place either on the endo or the exo face of the furanose ring (or on both faces in the case of 11 ). The configuration at C(3) of these new phosphorus-bearing types of sugars as well as the configuration at the phosphorus atom of the cyclic phosphinates 9 and 10 was established by NMR. (³J_P,H–C(2), ³J_P,C(1)). Small amounts (7%) of the spiro enol phosphonate 16 were formed when 11 reacted with trimethyl phosphite.     

Nouvelle voie de synthèse des dérivés de l'ellipticine et analogues alcaloïdes à activité antitumorale

A new snythesis of 6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazoles is described starting from substituted cyclohexanones involving the combination of Borsche's carbazole preparation and Cranwell and Saxton's ellipticine synthesis where the starting materials are easily available. The dehydrogenation step is accomplished at an early stage. In some cases (11-desmethyl ellipticines derivatives), 7H-pyrido[3,4-c]carbazoles were also obtained.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres,X. Synthèse stéréospécifique de l'épimère en C3 du streptose et d'autres sucres ramifiés,dérivés de désoxy-5-pentoses, à groupements gem-hydroxy-formyle ou gem-hydroxy-hydroxyméthyle

The synthesis of branched-chain sugars of the gem-hydroxy-formyl and the gem-hydroxy-hydroxymethyl types is described. A 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-furanos-3-ulose is treated with cyanomethylene-triphenyl-phosphorane, yielding the two geometrical isomers of the corresponding branched-chain unsaturated sugar. Cis-dihydroxylation(KMnO₄) of these cyanomethylenic compounds affords stereoselectively and in high yield the gem-hydroxy-formyl branched chain sugars whose formyl group is on the more hindered face of the furanose ring. The hydroxymethyl analogues of the latter compounds are readily prepared by their borohydride reduction. This method constitutes a new general route to type A branched-chain sugars epimeric at the branching-point with the sugars which would have been obtained by the classical procedure involving Grignard reagents.     

Synthesis of acetylenic β-diketones and their conversion into 4H-pyran-4-ones,pyrazoles, and 1-hydroxy-4-pyridones

A simple method for the synthesis of acetylenic β-diketones is described. They can be cyclized to the corresponding 4H-pyran-4-ones with acids. Their reaction with hydrazine hydrate gave pyrazole derivatives isomeric with those obtained from 4H-pyran-4-ones. With hydroxyl-amine hydrochloride in ethanol, 1-hydroxy-4-pyridones are formed.
