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.

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.     

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.     

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).     

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.

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.

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.

Abstract

Benzyl 2,5-di-O-(tert-bstvldimethvl)silvl-3-O-triflvl-β-D-ribofsranoside (13) underwent triflyl migration upon O-desilylation with triethylammonium hydrogen fluoride in tetrahydrofuran affording benzyl 2-O-triflyl-β-D-ribo-furanoside (7) in ca. 5% yield, together with three other products, benzyl 3-O-triflyl-β-D-ribofuranoside (17), benzyl 2-O-(tert-butyldimethyl)silvl-3-O-triflyl-β-D-ribo-furanoside (18) and benzyl 3-deoxy-β-D-glvceropento-furanos-2-uloside (16). In order to confirm the triflyl migration, a series of reactions were performed.     

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.     

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.

Nonreducing-Sugar Subunit Analogs of Bacterial Lipid a Carrying the Ester-Bound (3R)-3-(Acyloxy)Tetradecanoyl Group

Abstract

In order to elucidate further the relationship between the composition of the fatty acyl groups in the nonreducing-sugar subunit of bacterial lipid A and its biological activity, 3-O-[(3R)-3-(acyloxy)tetradecanoyl]-2-deoxy-2-[(3R)-3-hydroxytetradecanamido]-4-O-phosphono-D-glucose [GLA-63(R, R) and GLA-64(R, R)], and 3-O-[(3R)-3-(acyloxy)tetradecanoyl]-2-deoxy-4-O-phosphono-2-tetradecanamido-D-glucose [GLA-67(R), GLA-68(R) and GLA-69(R)] have been synthesized. Benzyl 2-[(3R)-3-(benzyloxymethoxy)tetradecanamido]-2-deoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-β-D-glucopyranoside (5) and benzyl 2-deoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-2-tetradecanamido-β-D-glucopyranoside (6) were each esterified with (3R)-3-dodecanoyloxytetradecanoic acid (1), (3R)-3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoic acid (2) or (3R)-3-hexadecanoyloxy-tetradecanoic acid (3), to give 7-11, which were then transformed, by the sequence of deisopropylidenation, 6-O-tritylation and 4-O-phosphorylation, into a series of desired compounds.     

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.     

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.     

Diborane Reduction of O-(Tert-Butyldimethylsilyi.)galactaramides. A Model Study for Aminoalditol Synthesis

Tert-butyldimethylsilylation of dimethyl galactarate (1) with tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane/imidazole/N,N-dimethylformamide at 25 [ddot]C dimethyl 2,5-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)galactarate (2) as the principal product, with methyl 2,3,5-tris-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-D,L-galactarate-l,4-lactone (3) and methyl 2,3-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethyl)-D,L-galactarate-l,5-lactone (4) as minor products. When the reaction was carried out at 65 [ddot]C, the only product was the 1,4-lactone, 3 Ammonolysis of 2 in methanol gave 2,5-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethyl)-galactaramide (5, 94%), which was conveniently reduced with borane- THF to 1,6-diamino-1,6-dideoxygalactitol, isolated as its dihydrochloride 9. Ammonolysis of 3 in methanol gave a mixture of 5; 2,3,4-tris-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-D,L-galactaramide (6), 2,3,5-tris-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-D,L-galactaramide (7), and 2,3,5-tris-Q-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-D,L-1,4-lactonogalactaramide (8). Borane-THF reduction of a mixture of 6 and 7 also yielded 9. This study served as a model for the use of O-silylated carbohydrate amides in the preparation of aminodeoxyalditols.
