Synthetic Mucin Fragments: Methyl-3-O-(2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-4-O- and 6-O-β-D-Galactopyranosyl-β-D-Glucopyranosyl)-β-D-Galactopyranoside and Methyl 3-O-(2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-4-O- and 3-O-Methyl-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-3-D-Galactopyranoside

Abstract

Glycosylation of methyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-3, 6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (2) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (1), catalyzed by mercuric cyanide, afforded a trisaccharide derivative, which was not separated, but directly O-deacetylated to give methyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-giucopyranosyl)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (8). Hydrogenolysls of the benzyl groups of 8 then furnished the title trisaccharide (9). A similar pflyccsylation of methyl 3-O-(2-acetamido-3-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl- β-D-galactopyranoside (obtained by acetylation of 4, followed by hydrolysis of the benzylidene acetal group) with bromide 1 gave a tribenzyl trisaccharide, which, on catalytic hydrogenolysls, furnished the isomeric trisaccharide (12). Methylation of 4 and 2 with methyl iodide-silver oxide in 1:1 dichloro-methane-N, N-dimethylformamide gave the 3-O- and 4-O-monomethyl ethers (13) and (15), respectively. Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups of 13 and 15 then provided the title monomethylated disaechartdes (15) and (16), respectively. The structures of trisacchacides 9 and 12, and disaccharides 14 and 16 were all established by ¹³C MMR spectroscopy.     

Synthetic Application of Partially Protected Fructopyranoses

Partial deacetonation of 1-O-benzoyl-2,3:4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranose (2) yielded the related 2,3-O-isopropylidene derivative (3) that was subsequently transformed into the corresponding 1-O-benzoyl-4,5-O-dibutylstannylene-2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fructopyranose (4). Reaction of 4 with benzyl bromide proceeded with high regioselectivity to afford 1-O-benzoyl-5-O-benzyl-2/3-O-isopropylidene-β-D-fruc-topyranose (5) together with a small quantity of the 4-O-benzyl derivative (6). Oxidation of 5 gave the 4-oxo derivative (10) which was reduced to yield a mixture of 5 and its 4-epimer (11). Debenzylation of 11, followed by a debenzoylation reaction produced 2,3-O-isopropylidene-β-O-tagatopyranose (13). Aceto-nation of 13 yielded 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-tagatofuranose (14). Structures and configurations of the above compounds were established on the basis of their analytical and spectroscopic data.     

Reaktionen Mit Trimethylsilylhalogeniden an Derivaten Der Digitoxose

Abstract

Treatment of methyl 3,4-di-O-acyl-2,6-dideoxy-α-D-ribo-hexo-pyranoside 1 or 2 with trimethylsilyl halide leads to the formation of a complex mixture of α-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl halides 3 or 5 together with the educts 1 or 2 as well as their β-anomers 8 or 9. The bromides 3 and 5, suitable for glycosidations, are preferably obtained by reaction of the digitoxose acetate derivatives 6 and 7, respectively, which in turn are prepared from 1 and 2 by mild acetolysis. Further reaction of the halides 3 to 5 with trimethylsilyl halides gives rise to a quantitative formation of the 2,3,6-trideoxy-4-0-acyl-3-halo-α-D -arabino-hexopyranosyl halides 10 to 12. In another reaction sequence starting with the olivose triacetate 20 the formation of 10 via the halide 13 is demonstrated. Structural evidence for the halides 10 to 12 is given by ¹H NMR data as well as by analyses of their glycosides 14 to 19. The results support a mechanistic interpretation for the formation of 10 to 12 via a 3,4-acetoxonium ion as the key intermediate obtained from 3 by an S_Nfi and from 13 and S_N2i step. Final conversion into the terminal halodeoxy compounds 10 to 12 proceeds by and S_N2 reaction with the halide ion.     

A General Method for Stepwise Elongation of the (1→5)-α-D-Arabinofuranan Chain

Condensation reaction of 3,5-di-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-(1-cyanoben-zylidene)-β-D-arabinofuranose (2) with benzyl and allyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-5-O-triphenylmethyl-α-L-arabinofuranosides (5a and 5b) in methylene chloride in the presence of triphenylcarbenium tetrafluoroborate as catalyst under high vacuum gave α-(1→5)-linked dimeric D-arabinofuranoside derivatives (6a and 6b). One of the dimeric compounds (6a) was debenzoylated, triphenylmethylated, and rebenzoylated to give a dimeric homolog of 5a (8). Similarly for the preparation of 6a, 8 was condensed with 2 to provide an α-(1→5)-linked trimeric D-arabinofuranoside derivative (9). Further elongation of the glycoside chain might be possible in the same way.     

Synthesis of N-Alkyl-N'-cyano-N″-4-pyridylguanidines from 4-Pyridyldithiocarbamic Acid via N-Alkyl-N′-4-Pyridylthioureas,or via 4-Pyridylcyaniminothiocarbamic Acid

Several years ago a number of antihypertensive N-alkyl-N′-cyano-N″-pyridylguanidines was prepared by addition of cyanamide to N-alkyl-N′-pyridylcarbodiimides which were obtained from the respective thioureas and phosgene or triphenylphosphine/carbon tetrachloride¹. Recently we have described some attractive synthetic methods for N-alkyl-N′-4-pyridylthioureas², based on 4-pyridyldithiocarbamic acid (1) (Scheme 1). We now report on the synthesis of N-alkyl-N′-cyano-N″-4-pyridylguanidines (4) from (1) by two different routes which ultimately may pass through a common intermediate (3) (Scheme 1).     

Photochemical Reactions in Carbohydrate Synthesis. Conversion of L-Arabinose Into L-Streptose

Abstract

A synthesis for L-streptose (1) is described. This synthesis differs from those previously reported in several ways, one of which is the use of photochemical reactions in two important steps. These reactions are part of a sequence leading from L-arabinose (2) to 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-L-threo-pentofuranos-3-ulose (3). Two other photochemical reactions are considered as a part of the conversion of 3 into L-streptose (1) but neither proved useful. L-Streptose (1) is synthesized from 3 by a sequence of reactions which involves formation of 5-deoxy-l,2-O-isopropylidene-3-C-nitromethyl-β-L-lyxo-furanose (10) and subsequent reaction of 10 with titanium(III) chloride.     

Synthesis of Heterobicycles of δ-Lactam Fused with 1,3-Diazaheterocycles by the Reaction of Heterocyclic Ketene Aminals with α,β-Unsaturated Carboxylic Esters

Heterobicycles of δ-lactam fused with imidazolidine (4, 7), hexahydropyrimidine (5, 8), or hexahydro-1, 3-diazepine (6, 9) were synthesized by the reaction of heterocyclic ketene aminals 1, 2 or 3 with ester of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.     

Synthesis of C-Glycosyl α-Glycines

Abstract

A scheme of asymmetric synthesis of C-glycosyl α-glycines is described. Reductive hydrolysis of 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-β D-erythropentofuranose 1-cyanide (4) in the presence of N,N-diphenylethylenediamine gave the imidazolidine 5, which was converted to 2,5-anhydro-3-deoxy-4,6-di-O-p-toluoyl-β-D-allose (3)by acid hydrolysis. The aldehyde (3), chiralamine, benzoic acid and t-butyl isocyanide four component condensation afforded in good yield two diastereomeric adducts (6a and 6b), which were separated by column chromatography and deblocked to furnish 2-deoxy-β-D-erythropentofuranosyl R and S-glycines (1a) and (1b).     

Darstellung Der Isomeren 1,6-DI-O-Acetyl-3,4-Didesoxy-α, β-D-Glycero-Hex-3-Enopyrahos-2-Ulosen

Abstract

Prolonged treatment of tetra-O-acetyl-1, 5-anhydro-hex-1-enitols (“tetra-O-acetyl-hydroxy-glycals”) 3 and 5 with BF₃ in CH₂Cl₂ at RT lead to anomeric mixtures of the title compounds 2 and 4a, the α-anomer 4a dominating. Reaction of 5 gave the higher yields of 4a (71%) and 2 (12%), the results being accounted mechanistic grounds. The same reaction performed in an aromatic solvent, like toluene, gave rise to competing C-alkylation., The ortho and para-tolyl derivatives 6 and 7, also with enone structure, were isolated in a combined maximum yield of 40% from 5. β-Enone 2 was also prepared in moderate yield by thermolysis of β-d-glucopyranose pentaacetate (1). In this case no α-anomer 4a was detected.     

1-Thioglycopyranosyl Esters of N-Acylamino Acids

Abstract

Fully protected 1-thioglycopyranosyl esters of N-acylamino acids (5, 6, and 7) were prepared by condensation of methyl 2, 3, 4-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-d–glucopyranuronate (1), 2, 3, 4-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-l–arabinopyranose (2), and 2, 3, 4-tri-O-acetyl-1-thio-D-arabinopyranose (3) with pentachlorophenyl esters of N-acylamino acids in the presence of imidazole. The ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of the starting 1-thio sugars and the 1-thiol ester products are reported.     

Reactions of Per-O-Acetylated Carbohydrate Triflates With Halide Ions

Abstract

The reactions of bromide, chloride, and iodide ions with 1,3,4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) -α-D-glucopyranose (2) and with 1, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-β-D-mannopyranose (3) gave good to excellent yields of the corresponding deoxyhalogeno sugars. In contrast, when the gluco triflate 2 and tetra-butylammonium fluoride were heated under reflux in benzene, only 5-(acetoxymethyl)-2-formylfuran (13) was formed. Reaction of the manno triflate 3 under similar conditions produced 1, 3,4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-gluco-pyranose (17), 1. 3, 4. 6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-hex-2-eno-pyranose (18), 4,6-di-O-acetyl-1, 5-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-erythro-hex-l-enitol-3-ulose (19), and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6-penta-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranose (20). The mechanisms of the reactions of The triflates 2 and 3 with fluoride ion are discussed.     

An Unusual Aminal Derivative from a Misdirected Gabriel Synthesis

N-(2-Bromoethyl)phthalimide (1) was reacted with sodium imidazolate in DMF to give the novel aminal N-[1-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl]phthalimide (4a) as well as N-vinylphthalimide (3) and the desired Gabriel intermediate 2. Aminal 4a as well as heterologues 4b - d form directly from reaction of 3 with the appropriate heterocyclic sodium salt.     

Darstellung Von β-D-Olivosyl(1→3)-D-olivosiden Aus Mithramycin

Abstract

The benzyl glycoside 4 obtained from 2-bromo-2-deoxy-α-0-quinovosyl bromide 1, readily accessible by the dibromomethyl methyl ether reaction of 2, is deformylated to give the monohydroxy compound 5 which is used in glycosidation reactions. Treatment of 3 with dibromomethyl methyl ether results in the formation of the labile β-furanosyl bromide 7 and the cyrstalline pyranosyl bromide 8 in a ratio of 1:2, both of which are further characterized by their methyl glycosides 10 and 11, respectively. Action of dibromomethyl methyl ether at room temperature on the benzyl ether 6, conventionally prepared from 3, is shown to proceed initially to the glycosyl bromide 9. Compound 9 is cleaved to the 4-formyl-blocked pyranosyl bromide 12, and only after prolonged reaction time gives the pyranosyl halide 8. The glycosidation of the glycosyl bromide 1 with benzyl-4–0-benzyl-α-D-olivoside 13 in the presence of silver carbonate and silicate is a sluggish reaction and gives rather low yields of the β-and the α, l-3-linked disaccharides 15 and 16 in the ratio 3–4:1. With silver triflate the yield is improved to the 61% and the ratio 6:1 in favour of 15.

Further transformations lead to both the syrupy olivosyl olivosides 17. and 18. In a more favourable reaction sequence 1 is condensed with the alcohol component 5 and silver triflate as promoter and yields the crystalline β-(19) and the α, 1→3-linked disaccharides (20) in 92% and a ratio of 6.5: 1. By subsequent transformations the protected title tetradeoxy disaccharide 21 is obtained.     

An Efficient Stereoselective Synthesis of a Tricyclic Intermediate for the Synthesis of Derivatives of Abietic and Podocarpic Acids

For many years the synthesis of diterpene acids has attracted the attention of organic chemists. Kröniger and Wheeler¹ reported that the condensation of the dimethylate 1a with methyl malonate gave the cis compound 2a which on heating with palladised charcoal was converted into the trans isomer 3a. Compound 3a is a promising intermediate in the synthesis of derivatives of both abietic and podocarpic acids, while 2a could be a starting material for the synthesis of cis fused diterpene acids. However, the route to 2a and 3a was inefficient; 1a was only available as the minor component of a mixture with its epimer 1b; and the yield for the stage 2a + 3a was poor.     

Synthesis of Potential Antimicrobial Agents from Maltose. III. Introduction of an Amino Group Into the 3′-Position of 1,6-Anhydro-Disaccharides

Abstract

Regioselective cleavage of 1,6-anhydro-maltose (1) with periodate and the subsequent recyclization with nitromethane gave 1,6-anhydro-3′-deoxy-3′-nitro-disaccharides (3). Three diastereomers, prepared by benzylidenation of 3, were separated by column chromatography. Each of 4′,6′-O-benzylidene derivatives successively underwent debenzylidenation, reduction of the nitro group, and peracetylation to give 3′-acetamido-3′-deoxy-disaccharide derivatives (7, 8, and 9). The configurations of the 3-amino sugar moietres in 7 (D-gluco), 8 (D-manno) and 9 (D-galacto) were determined on the basis of the ¹H NMR data. The main product (7) was further modified to the 6-deoxy-6-nitro derivative.     

SRN1 Arylation of Some Heterocyclic Ketene Aminals with 2,4-Dinitrohalobenzenes

the anion of heterocyclic ketene aminals 1 - 4 reacted with 2, 4-dinitrohalobenzenes 5 to give the monoarylated products 6, 7, 9 and 11 by a S_RN1 mechanism. In some cases, the diarylated products 8 and 10 were also isolated.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of 3-C-Branched-Chain Sugars by Aldol Reaction of Furanos-3-Uloses with Acetone

Abstract

Aldol reaction of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-tertbutyl-dimethylsilyl-α-D-erythro-pentofuranos-3-ulose (1) with acetone in the presence of aqueous K₂CO₃ afforded 3-C-acetonyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-O-tertbutyl-dimethylsilyl-α-D-ribofuranose(2). Similar reaction of 1,2:5, 6-di-o-isopropylidene- α-D-ribo-hexofuranos-3-ulose (3) afforded 3-C-acetonyl-1,2:5, 6-di-o-isopropylidene- α-D-allofuranose (4) and (1R, 3R, 7R, 8S, 10R)-perhydro-8-hydroxy-5,5,10-trimethyl-2,4,6,11,14-pentaoxatetracyclo[8,3,1,0^1,8,0^3,7] tetradecane. The stereochemistry of the new chiral centers were determined by ¹H NOE experiments.     

First Stereqselective Synthesis of Nitrophenyl 2-Deoxy- β-D-glycosides

α-Dithiophosphates of peracetylated 2-deoxyhexc-pyranoses, 1a, 1b and 2, uhich are easily prepared by addition of organic phosphorodithioic acids to glycais react smoothly with resin-bound 2- and 4-nitrophenoxides to give stereoselectively the respective nitrophenyl 2-deoxy-β-D-hexopyranosides (3, 4, 5 and 6) in high yields. Glycosylation of the 2, 4-dinitro'phenoxide, however, leads with comparable stereoselectivity to 2,4-dinitrophenyl 2-deoxy- α-D-hexopyranosides (7 and 8).

Glycosides 3 - 6 are quantitatively deacetylatec by Amberlyst A-26 (OH^-), whereas glycosides 7 and 8, under the same reaction conditions undergo splitting of the O-glycosidic bond.     

Synthesis of N-[2-S -(2-Acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose-3-y1)-2-Thio-D-Lactoyl]-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine

Abstract

N-[2-S-(2-Acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose-3-y1)-2-thio-D-lactoyl]-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine, in which the oxygen atom at C-3 of N-acetylmuramoic acid moiety in N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP) has been replaced by sulfur, was synthesized from allyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (1).

Treatment with sodium acetate of the 3-O-mesylate, derived from 1 by 4,6-O-isopropylidenation and subsequent mesylation, gave allyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-β-D-allopyranoside (4). When treated with potassium thioacetate, the 3-O-mesylate, derived from 4, afforded allyl 2-acetamido-3-S-acetyl-2-deoxy-4,6-0-isopropylidence-β-D-glucopyranoside (6). S-Deacetylation of 6, condensation with 2-L-chloropropanoic acid, and subsequent esterification, gave the 3-s[D-1(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-3-thio-glucopyranoside derivative (7). Coupling of the acid, derived from 7, with the methyl ester of L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine, and subsequent hydrolysis, yielded the title compound.     

Synthesis of 2′,3′-Dideoxy-2′-Fluorokanamycin A

2′,3′-Dideoxy-2′-fluorokanamycin A (23) was prepared by condensation of 6-azido-4-0-benzoyl-2,3,6-trideoxy-2-fluoro-α-D-ribo-hexopyranosyl bromide (13) and a protected disaccharide (19). Methyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-3-deoxy-β-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (5) prepared from methyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-3-chloro-3-deoxy-β-D-allo-hexopyranoside (1) by oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate followed by reduction with Na₂ S₂O₄ was fluorinated with the DAST reagent to give methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (7). Successive treatment of 7 with NBS, NaN₃ and SOBr₂ gave 13. The structure of the final product (23) was determined by the ¹H and ¹⁹F and shift-correlated 2D NMR spectra.
