Stereoselective synthesis of 2-deoxy-α-d-arabino-hexopyranosides of triterpene alcohols

2-Deoxy-2-iodo--d-mannopyranosides of triterpene alcohols of the oleanane series were synthesized inca. 60% yields by glycosylation with readily accessibled-glucal triacetate in the presence ofN-iodosuccinimide as the promotor. Their deiodination by catalytic hydrogenation followed by deacetylation yielded 2-deoxy--d-arabino-hexopyranosides of glycyrrhetic acid derivatives and allobetulin.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Stereoselective Synthesis and Crystal Structure Analysis of N-Naphthyl-2-deoxy-α-D-ribopyranosylamine

A new compound N-naphthyl-2-deoxy-α-D-ribopyranosylamine was synthesized and structurally determined. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group P212121 with a = 8.361（2）, b = 12.432（3）, c = 12.791（4） A^°, Z= 4, V= 1329.6（6） A^°^3, Dc= 1.295 g/cm^3, F（000） = 552, Cl5H17NO3 and Mr= 259.30. All the active hydrogen atoms are involved in the formation of hydrogen bonds in the molecule.     

Stereoselective synthesis of 2-(α-hydroxyalkyl)benzimidazoles

Lithiated oxazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole 4 reacted with various alkyl halides to give oxazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazoles 5a–d in good yields as single diastereoisomers. (R)-Benzimidazol-2-yl carbinols 6a–d were obtained upon hydrolysis under acidic conditions of 1H,3H-oxazolo[3,4-a]benzimidazole derivatives.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (−)-α-conhydrine

(?)-α-Conhydrine was synthesized from propargyl alcohol in 20% overall yield in nine steps. The key intermediates were obtained via a regioselective epoxide opening, cross-metathesis, tandem hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis, and stereoselective dihydroxylaton. The side product from the epoxide ring opening was used to synthesize the seven-membered amino sugar DMJ analogue.     

Stereoselective synthesis of s-(2-deoxy-α-D-glycosyl)- phosphorodithioates1 and of their (2R)-2-deoxy-2-deuterio- analogues. Novel route to C-2 d

Addition of 0,0-dialkylphosphorodithioic acids to fully protected 1,2-unsaturated hexo- and pentopyranoses gives S-(2-deoxy-glycosyl)-phosphorodithioates in quantitative yield and high stereoselectivity with respect to the α-isomer. The stereochemistry of this reaction is “cis” as demonstrated by the addition of deuterated 0,0-dialkylphosphorodithioic acids to 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal which gives exclusively the α-dithiophosphates of (2R)-2-deoxy-2-deuterio-D-arabinohexopyranose. This result provides an efficient and fully stereoselective method of labeling of the deoxy function in 2-deoxy monosaccharides and their glycosylic derivatives.     

Stereoselective synthesis of syn-α-methyl-β-hydroxy esters

Boron enolates of an ethyl ketone structurally related to erythrulose react with achiral aldehydes in a highly stereoselective fashion to yield 1,2-syn/1,3-syn stereoisomers. Oxidative cleavage of the aldol adducts yields enantiopure O-formylated syn-α-methyl-β-hydroxy esters, easily cleaved to the corresponding hydroxyl-free compounds. The aforementioned ketone behaves therefore as a chiral propionate enolate equivalent.     

Stereoselective synthesis of α,α′-diamino-dicarboxylic acids. Part 2

Enantiomerically pure α,α′-diamino-dicarboxylic acids (R,R)-4, (S,S)-5 and (S,S)-7 have been synthesized starting from the glycine-derived chiral synthon (S,S)-1.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (−)-cytoxazone

A novel stereoselective synthesis of (−)-cytoxazone 1 was achieved via addition of p-methoxyphenylmagnesium bromide to the benzylimine derived from (S)-2,3-O-isopropylidene glyceraldehyde followed by one-step regioselective cyclization of N-Boc amino diol 7.     

Stereoselective,nonracemic synthesis of ω-borono-α-amino acids

ω-Unsaturated α-amino acids are synthesized through condensation of allyl and propargyl bromides or of 9-bromoundecene with a Ni(II) complex of the Schiff base derived from glycine and BPB. Hydroboration with Ipc₂BH followed by oxidation with acetaldehyde affords enantiomerically pure ω-borono-α-aminocarboxylic acids.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (−)-centrolobine

The stereoselective synthesis of (−)-centrolobine has been accomplished starting from d-glyceraldehyde acetonide by a combination of chelation-controlled diastereoselective alkylation and ring-closing metathesis. A high degree of 1,3-asymmetric induction has been realized in an ether system.     

Stereoselective synthesis of α-C-glycosides of N-acetylgalactosamine

Attempts to synthesise α-C-glycosides of N-acetylgalactosamine by selective deprotection at C-2′ of allyl α-C-galactoside 1 and subsequent amination failed, but opened the way to α-C-talopyranosides. The synthesis of α-C-glycosides of N-acetylgalactosamine was performed from allyl α-C-glucopyranoside 9, which was regioselectively deprotected, stereoselectively aminated at C-2′, and finally epimerised at C-4′.     

Stereoselective synthesis of 5′-hydroxyzearalenone

A first stereoselective total synthesis of 14-memebered β-resorcylic macrolactone 5′-hydroxyzearalenone (1) has been achieved. The key steps are Jocobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, Vilsmeier-Haack reaction, Mitsunobu esterification and ring-closing metathesis.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (−)-synargentolide B

A convergent, enantioselective total synthesis of (?)-synargentolide-B has been accomplished from readily available l-arabinose and d-ethyl lactate by a 10-step sequence involving Still-Gennari olefination, one-pot acidic deprotection/lactonization and olefin cross-metathesis reaction as the key step.     

Stereoselective synthesis of a β-D-phosphatidylgalactose

The stereoselective synthesis of a -D-phosphatidylgalactose has been achieved by the interaction of a benzyl phosphatidate with D-galactose tert-butyl orthoacetate or trichloroacetimidate.M. V.

Stereoselective synthesis of uncommon α,α′-dialkyl-α-aminoacids. Part 1

The alkylation of the diastereomeric mixture of chiral morpholinone derivatives 4 and 5 occurs with good yield and trans induction. Cleavage of the alkylated products 6a,b,c,e gives enantiomerically pure uncommon (and sterically constrained) α,α′-dialkyl-α-aminoacids. The absolute configuration of the new stereocentres of 4, 5, 6 and 7 has been assigned on the basis of the ¹H-NMR spectra and NOE measurements.
