An Improved Method for the Synthesis of 3.6-Di-O-Methyl-D-Glucose: Preparation of the Neo-Glycoprotein Containing 3,6-Di-O-Methyl-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-Groups

Abstract

3,6-Di-O-methyl-D-glucose, the non-reducing terminal sugar of the phenolic glycolipid-I, elaborated by Mycobacterium leprae, has been synthesized by a simple procedure and in high yield. 3-O-Methyl-D-glucose was converted to the corresponding benzyl glycoside and then tosylated to give benzyl 3-O-methyl-6-O-tosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside. Displacement of tosyl group with sodium methoxide followed by debenzylation afforded 3,6-di-O-methyl-D-glucose in high yield. Condensation of the acetobromo derivative of 3,6-di-O-methyl-D-glucose with 8-ethoxycarbonyloctanol gave 8-ethoxycarbonyloctyl 2,4-di-O-acety 1–3, 6-di-O-methy 1-β-D-glucopyranoside. This was then deacetylated, converted to hydrazide, and finally coupled to bovine serum albumin via the acyl azide intermediate. The neo-glycoprotein containing the 3,6-di-O-methyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl group is useful for serodiagnosis of leprosy.     

Phospha-alkynes - Useful Building Blocks in Organic Chemistry1

Abstract

The syntheses of phospholes (7, [3+2]-cycloaddition), bicyclophosphaalkenes (17, [4+2]-cycloaddition), and phosphabenzenes (15, [4+2]-cycloaddition followed by an extrusion process) starting from the phosphaalkynes (4) are described. The 2–Dewar phosphabenzene 18, obtained from the cyclobutadiene 21 and 4 (R =^tBu), is the starting material for the synthesis of the valency isomers 19, 20, 22, and 23.     

A Very Short and Efficient Total Synthesis of Otanthus Maritima Amide.

A new total synthesis of Otanthus Maritima amide 1 was achieved from 6-trimetylsily N-tert-butyl sorbaldimine 6 in 76% global yield. The natural product 1 was obtained in three steps by condensation of 6 on thiophenal in the presence of catalytic amount of CsF (10%) in DMSO followed by oxidation and amidification of the corresponding intermediate.     

SYNTHÉSE DE THIOÉTHERS D'ACIDES PROPYLBORONIQUES S - BENZYLÉS

The protection of the hydroxy group of p-cresol 1 by o-silylation gives derivatives 2 and 3 , the methyl group of which can be brominated by NBS. The phase transfer catalysis applied to 4 and 5 is a good way which permits the mild introduction of the allylthio group ( 6 and 7 ). Hydroboration applied to silylated compounds 8 and 9 , followed by methanolysis and hydrolysis leads to target acids 10 and 11 in a good yield.

La protection du groupement hydroxy du p-crésol 1 par o-silylation donne les dérivés 2 et 3 ce qui permet de bromer le substituant méthyle par le N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). La catalyse par transfert de phase (CTP) appliquée aux produits 4 et 5 est une bonne méthode pour introduire un groupement allylthio (composés 6 , 7 ). L'hydroboration des composés silylés 8 et 9 , suivie d'une méthanolyse et d'une hydrolyse permet d'accéder aux acides cibles 10 et 11 avec de bons rendements.     

Synthesis of the Oligosaccharide Moieties of Musettamycin,Marcellomycin and Aclacinomycin A,Antitumor Antibiotics

Abstract

Condensation of benzyl 2,3,6-trideoxy-3-trifluoroacetamido-α-L-lyxo-hexopyranoside (5) with 4-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-2,6-dideoxy-α-L-lyxo-hexopyranosyl bromide (10) carried out under Koenigs-Knorr conditions gave 12. Total deprotection of 12 and N-dimethylation at C-3 led to 17 while selective removal of the 4-O-acetyl group led to 13, a synthetic intermediate for preparing 24 and 33. Condensation of 13 with di-O-acetyl-L-fucal (18) or 4-O-acetyl-L-amicetal (25) in the presence of N-iodosuccinimide followed by hydrogenolysis of the C-2-I bond gave 20 and 27 respectively. The trisaccharide 24 then was obtained from 20 by the same sequence of reactions used to convert 12 into 17. After deacetylation and oxidation, this set of reactions also transformed 27 into 33.     

Syntheses of Pseudo-α-D-Glucopyranose and Pseudo-β-L-Altropyranose From L-Arabinose

Abstract

Two optically active pseudo-hexopyranoses, pesudo-α-D-glucopyranose (1) and pseudo-β-L-altropyranose (2), were synthesized starting from L-arabinose. L-Arabinose was first converted to an acyclic aldehyde 9. The reaction of 9 with dimethyl malonate under basic conditions provided a tetra-hydroxylated cyclohexane-1,1-dicarboxylate 11 and a C-glycoside of β-L-arabinopyranose 12. From the compound 11, the desired two pseudo-sugars were synthesized by 1) thermal demethoxy-carbonylation, 2) LiAlH₄, reduction, 3) hydroboration of the resulting 1-hydroxymethyl-l-cyclohexene 14 followed by hydrogen peroxide treatment, and 4) removal of the protecting groups.

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.     

Synthesis of 4-O-(α-L-Rhamnopyranosyl-D-Glucopyranuronic Acid

Abstract

Two approaches were used for the synthesis of 4-O-(α-l-rhamno-pyranosyl)-d-glucopyranuronic acid (1). Rhamnosylation of benzyl 6-O-allyl-2,3-di-O-benzyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (7), followed by deallylation, oxidation to uronic acid, and deblocking afforded 1. Alternatively, rhamnosylation of suitably protected d-glucuronic acid derivatives (25 and 26) gave the protected pseudoaldoBiouronic acid derivatives (19 and 30), which were deprotected. Rhamnosylations were performed in high stereoselectivity without neighbouring-group assistance using 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-O-trichloroacetimidoyl-α-l-rharnnopyranose (27) with tri-fluoromethanesulfonic acid catalysis.     

Synthesis of the 3-0, 4-0 and 6-0 Sulfates of Methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-Glucopyranoside

Abstract

Starting with methyl 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside (1), the isomeric methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside 3-, 4-, and 6-sulfates have each been prepared by sulfation of suitably blocked intermediates. Tritylation and acetylation of 1 followed by detritylation gave methyl 3,4-di-0-acetyl-2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside (3), having a free 6-hydroxyl group. Base catalyzed 0–4→0–6 acetyl migration provided the corresponding 3,6 di-O-acetyl derivative (4) posessing a free 4-hydroxyl group. Preparation of methyl 4,6-0-benzylidene-2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranoside (9) provided the intermediate bearing a free 3-hydroxyl group. 0-sulfation of 3, 4, and 9 was effected with the pyridine sulfur trioxide complex in dry pyridine.     

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).     

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.     

Derivatives Of α-Cyclodextrin and the Synthesis of 6-O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-Cyclodextrin

Abstract

Regioselective silylation of α-cyclodextrin with tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl chloride in N, N-dimethylformamide in the presence of imidazole gave, in 75% yield, the hexakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl) derivative 2, which was transformed into the hexakis(2,3-di-O-methyl, 6-O-methyl, 2,3-di-O-propyl, and 2,3-di-O-acetyl) derivatives. On methanesulfonylation and p-toluenesulfonylation, the hexakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl) derivative 16 afforded the hexakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-methylsulfonyl 17 and 2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-p -tolylsulfonyl 18) derivatives, respectively. Nucleophilic displacement of 17 and 18 with iodide, bromide, chloride, and azide ions afforded the hexakis(6-deoxy-6-iodo 19, 6-bromo-6-deoxy, 6-chloro-6-deoxy, and 6-azido-6-deoxy) derivatives, respectively, of α-cyclodextrin dodeca-acetate. The hexakis (2, 3-di-O-acetyl-6-deoxy) derivative was prepared from 19. Selective glucosylation of 16 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide under catalysis by halide ion, followed by removal of protecting groups, furnished 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-α-cyclodextrin.     

Accessibility of D-Mannopyranoside Glycosylating Synthons by Acetolysis for Preparations of Oligosaccharide Moieties of N-Linked Glycoproteins

Abstract

Selective acetolysis of methyl 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-manno-pyranoside (2) allows for easy preparation of 1-acetates of 2, 3,4, 6-tetra-O-benzyl (5), 6-O-acetyl-2, 3, 4, tri-O-benzyl-(6), 4, 6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-di-O-benzyl-(7), 3, 4, 6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-benzyl-(8), and 2, 4, 6-tri-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-D-mannopyranoside (9). 8 and 9 formed are separated by preparative HPLC in 30-60g scale. The time course of previously described acetolyses of 3, 4, 6-tri-O-benzyl- 1, 2-O-(1-methoxyethyidene)-β-D-mannopyranose (3), and methyl 2, 3-dt-O-benzyl-4, 6-O-benzylldene-α-D-mannopyranoside (4) giving 9, 1, 2, 6-tri-O-acetyl-3, 4-di-O-benzyl-(10), and 1, 2-di-O-acetyl-3, 4, 6-tri-O-benzyl-(11) α-D-mannopyranose as well 7 have been studied.     

Reaction of Halidemethyldithio- and Selenothiophosphonic Acids with Alkylthiocyanates – A Novel Method of Synthesizing P,N, S (Se) – Containing Heterocycles

Abstract

Novel heterocyclic derivatives - 1,3,4-thiazaphospholines and 1,3,4-selenoazaphospolines 7, were obtained passing hydrogen sulfide or hydrogen selenide 2 through the solution of 0-phenylchloromethyl (chloro)thiophosphonate 1 and alkylthiocyanate followed by addition of triethylamine. It is assumed that 0-phenylchloromethylthiophosphonic and -selenophosphonic acids 3 are formed at the first stage, which further add to CN triple bond of alkylthiocyanates 4 to produce S- or Se-thiophosphonyldithio- or selenothioiminocarbonates 5. The latter undergo phosphorotropic rearrangement into appropriate S-thiophosphonyl dithio- or selenothiocarbamates 6.     

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.     

Six-Membered Nitrogen Heterocycles from Xylaramide and Ribaramide

Abstract

N,N'-Diacetyl-tri-O-acetylxylaramide (8) and N,N'-diacetyl-tri-O-acetylribaramide (20) were directly converted to the nitrogen heterocycle 6-acetamido-2,6-diacetyloxy-aza-1,4-cyclohexadlen-3-one (9) with sodium acetate in acetic anhydride. Treatment of tri-O-acetylxylaramide (7) or tri-O-acetylribaramide (19) with the same solvent-base combination gave the highly crystalline 2,3,5,6-tetraacetyloxypyridlne (30) as the principal product. Mechanistic considerations for the formation of these nitrogen heterocycles are presented.     

ZUR SYNTHESE UND REAKTIVITÄT METHYLENVERBRÜCKTER DIPHOSPHORYLVERBINDUNGEN

Abstract

An improved high-yield Arbusov-type synthesis for diphosphorylmethanes with different substituents on both phosphorus atoms ( 4 , 5 , 7 ) by the reaction of isopropyl diphenylphosphinite or diisopropyl phenylphosphonite with diisopropyl bromomethylphosphonate ( 1 ) or isopropyl phenyl-bromomethyl-phosphinate ( 2 ), respectively, is described. 1 and 2 are available in yields of about 50% by the reaction of an excess of methylene bromide with triisopropylphosphite or diisopropyl phenylphosphonite, respectively.

The metalation of the symmetrical and unsymmetrical diphosphorylmethanes 3–8 with NaH in toluene yields the corresponding carbanionic salts 3A–8A . Their structure und reactivity are investigated by means of ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and Horner-reactions with benzaldehyde.

Regioselective monomethylation at the central carbon atom of 3–7 is performed using the phase-transfer technique. With exception of the phosphono-phosphinate derivative 14 , on this way the appropriate 1,1-diphosphorylethanes 13 and 15–17 are obtained in high yield.     

Synthesis of O-α-L-Fucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose. The H-Blood Group Specific Trisaccharide

Abstract

Different reaction conditions were investigated for the preparation of benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (5). Compound 5 on reaction with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide afforded the 4-O-substituted 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl derivative which, on O-deacetylation, gave benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (8). The trimethylsilyl (Me₃Si) derivative of 8, on treatment with pyridineacetic anhydride-acetic acid for 2 days, gave the disaccharide derivative having an O-acetyl group selectively introduced at the primary position and Me₃Si groups at the secondary positions. The latter groups were readily cleaved by treatment with aqueous acetic acid in methanol to afford benzyl 2-acetamido-4-O-(6-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside, which on isopropylidenation gave the desired, key intermediate benzyl 2-acetamido-4-O-(6-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside (12). Reaction of 12 with 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-L-fucopyranosyl bromide under catalysis by bromide ion afforded the trisaccharlde derivative from which the title trisaccharide was obtained by systematic removal of the protective groups. The structures of the final trisaccharide and of various intermediates were established by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

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.
