Utlisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XIII. Synthèse de dérivés des hydroxyméthyl-3-D-glucose et-D-galactose et de composés voisins

The treatment of the 1, 2:5, 6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D -ribo- and xylo-hexofuranos-3-uloses with cyanomethylenetriphenylphosphorane led in each case, and in almost quantitative yields, to a pair of geometrical isomers of C-cyanomethylenic sugars having respectively the ribo and the xylo configurations. Permanganate oxidation of these branched-chain unsaturated sugars afforded the corresponding gem-hydroxyformyl compounds bearing the formyl group on the more hindered face of the molecule. The formyl group of these sugars is easily derivatized to an oximino or reduced to a hydroxymethyl. The configuration at the new asymmetric carbon has been established by comparison with known compounds or by synthesis of a C(3) epimer by the classical route involving a Grignard reagent.     

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.     

Préparation de dérivés de sucres acétyléniques terminaux et d'acides ynuroniques par réaction de Wittig. Note de laboratoire

Synthesis of Terminal Acetylenic Sugars Derivatives and Ynuronic Acids Derivatives by Use of a Wittig Reaction The method described for the preparation of terminal acetylenic sugars presents two advantages over earlier procedures: no new asymmetric center is created and the chain can be extended by one or more C-atoms. The method also allows preparation of ynuronic acids. The aldehydosugars derivatives 1–7 gave in good to excellent yields the corresponding gem-dibromoenoses 8–14 from which either the terminal acetylenic sugars derivatives 15–21 or the ynuronic acids 22–24 were easily prepared. A few examples of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions (leading to 28–30 ) with these acetylenic sugar derivatives are also described.     

Un nouveau type de sucres azotés,les gem-azo-alcools. Communication préliminaire

Treatment of keto-sugar p-nitrophenylhydrazones with lead tetraacetate led to the corresponding gem-azo-acetates. The reaction is highly stereoselective, only one of the two possible epimers at the new asymmetric carbon being formed in measurable quantity. Catalytic de-acylation of these gem-azo-acetates yielded, quantitatively, representatives of a new class of nitrogen-containing sugars: the gem-azo-alcohols. When treated with potassium t-butylate, the gem-azoacetates underwent a rearrangement with ring expansion leading to N-aminolactams.     

Chimie et pharmacologie de l'apiose III. Synthèse et propriétés de l'hydrate de l'O-isopropylidène-1, 2-tétrosulo-3-furannose

Ruthenium tetroxide oxidation of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-β-D -threofuranose affords, besides the known 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetros-3-ulofuranose, a lactone. The tetrosulose is easily hydrated to the corresponding gem-diol whose dehydration on molecular sieves leads to a branched-chain dimer. Lead tetraacetate oxidation of 1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetros-3-ulofuranose p-nitrophenylhydrazone leads quantitatively, to a gem-azoacetate, a new synthetic intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. The 3-O-acetyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -glycero-tetr-3-enofuranose is easily obtained from the gem-diol. A highly stereoselective procedure is described to prepare the 3-O-acetyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-α-L -3, 4-exo-D₂-erythrofuranose.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XI. Synthèse des quatre didésoxy-3, 5-méthyl-3-pentoses parl'intermédiaire de sucres insaturés ramifiés

Treated with methylthiomethylenetriphenylphosphorane, 5-deoxy-1,2-O-iso-propylidene-β-D -threo- and -α-D -erythro-furanos-3-uloses led with good yields to a mixture of the cis-trans isomers of the corresponding methylthiovinylidenic sugars. There was no inversion of configuration at C(4) with the thero-furanosulose and a small one (7%) with its erythro isomer. These unsaturated branched-chain thio-sugars are useful synthetic intermediates. For examples, the desulfurization-hydrogenation (Raney Nickel) of each of these alkenes afforded in good yield two 3-deoxy-3-C-methyl-pentoses epimeric at C(3) and having the same configuration at C(4) as the starting alkenes. In all cases the isomer formed by attack from the less hindered face of the double bond was the preponderant one.

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.

Some reactions of 3-O-alkyl-6-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranos-5-uloses (1 and 2) with Wittig reagents are described. These ketosugars react with methylenetriphenylphosphorane and benzylidenetriphenylphosphorane to give the expected unsaturated branched-chain sugars and dienes formed by elimination of H–C(4) and the 3-alkyloxy group. Structural studies on all these compounds have been effected using NMR. spectroscopy and particularly, when necessary, nuclear Overhauser Effect. One important by-product of these reactions is an unsaturated ketone 3,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-hex-3-enofuranos-5-ulose (6). Compounds 1 and 2 do not react with cyanomethylenetriphenylphosphorane.

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.
