Synthesis of 2-Carbamoyl-2-Deoxy Glycosides

Abstract

Recently we have reported the addition of trichloracetyl isocuyanate to glycals 1 _1,2,3. The reaction led to the highly stereoselective formation of a mixture of unstable [2+2] and [4+2] cycloadducts 2 and 3. The isocyanate adds to the glycal moiety anti to the substituent at C-3. The addition of benzylamine to the reac6tion mixture led to N-deprotection of 2 and allowed us to isolate stable bicyclic β-lactams 4 _1-3. We have shown also that 2 (a mixture of α-L-gluco and β-L-manno isomers) obtained from L-rhamnal 1 (R¹[dbnd]Ac, R²[dbnd]CH₃ under high pressure, when treated with methanol, underwent a rapid trans opening of the four-membered ring to give respective glycosides 5(β-L-gluco and α-L-manno isomers). On the other hand 3 (R¹[dbnd]Ac, R²[dbnd]CH₃) under the same conditions added a molecule of methanol to the C[dbnd]N double bond affording 6.     

The structure of cis and trans lsomers of 1-(p-Bromobenzylidene)-2-indanone

Abstract

In this communication we wish to report an interesting case of the isolation and characterization of the cis and trans isomers of 1-(p-bromobenzylidene)-2-indanone and their ketals. Prior to this work, Hoogstreen and Trenner² had reported on the cis and trans isomers of 1-(p-chlorobenzylidene)-2-methyl-5-methoxyindenylacetic acid. The condensation of 2-(N-morpholinyl)-indene (1, prepared by the reaction of 2-indanone³ and morpholine) with P-bromobenzaldehyde was conducted by refluxing them in the presence of acetic acid for 4 hours. Acid hydrolysis of the reaction mixture followed by dry column chrcmatography over sillica gel using a fraction collector afforded two iscmeric monobenzylidenes, compounds 2(36.6%, mp 110–111°)and 3(1.3%, mp 115–116°) and a dibenylidene, compound 4 (8.7%, mp 205°). The relative rations of the mono- and dibenzylidenes seemed to depend on the reaction conditions. Higher yields of the monobenzylidenes 2 and 3 were obtained by conducting the reaction in the presence of UV light. The structures of these monobenzylidenes were established as cis and trans isomers of 1-(p-bromobenzylidenes)-2-indanone on the Basis of elemental analyses and ir and nmr spectroscopy. The ir spectra⁴ (CHCl₃)

of compounds 2 [1725 (c=0), 1620 (c=c)cm^?1] and 3[1710 (c=o), 1570, 1600 (c=c) cm^?1] were consistent with the structures. The molecular ion peaks as well as the fragmentation patterns in the mass spectra of both these compounds were consistent with the assigned structures. Before going into the omr discussion it should be pointed out that treatment of compound 2 with athylene glycol in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid produced two ketals, 5 (38.3% mp, 118–120°) and 6 (30.6% mp, 125–126°). As depicted; the ketals 5and 6 were also found (by omr) to be related to each other as cis and trans isomers. Furthermore, each of them could be hydrolyzed with acid to the corresponding monobenzylidenes 2 and 3 without any isomerization. However, UV irradiation of compounds 2 and 3 gave equilibrium mixtures containing both the isomers, indicating isomerization had occurred under photolytic conditions.     

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.     

Complete Solid State 13C NMR Chemical Shift Assignments for α-D-Glucose, α-D-Glucose-H2O and β-D-Glucose

Abstract

NMR spectra of crystalline α-D-glucose DH₂O (1), α-D-glucose (2), and β-D-glucose (3) were examined by 13C cross polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) methods. Each of the three forms of glucose exhibited a distinctly different spectrum. Chemical interconversion of 2 and 3 as well as the in situ dehydration of 1 during the course of the CPMAS NMR experiment was monitored in the ¹³C spectra. Samples of 1, 2, and 3 specifically enriched at C-1 and C-6 with ¹³C yielded ¹³C spectra in which the resonances corresponding to the adjacent C-2 and C-5 carbons were not visible due to strong homonuclear ¹³C dipolar interactions with the high abundance label. Spectra of these analogues as well as the C-2 and C-3 labeled materials provided the complete ¹³C chemical shift assignments of crystalline 1 2, and 3. A comparison of the solid state and solution ¹³C spectra revealed substantial resonance shifts for each of the three structures examined.     

NOUVELLE SYNTHÈSE DE [1,2-A]BENZIMIDAZOLO-1,3,5,2-TRIAZAPHOSPHORINES ET DE [1,2-A]BENZIMIDAZOLO-1,3,5,2- TRIAZAPHOSPHORINE-2-THIONES

The condensation of N₁-benzimidazolyl amidines 1 with tris(dimethy- lamino)phosphine leads to the corresponding [1,2a]Benzimidazolo-1,3,5,2-triazaphosphorines 3 . The N₂-phosphoroamidine intermediates 2′ are isolated and yielded the corresponding cyclic compounds 4 upon heating. The oxidation by sulfur of the compounds 3 gives the thiooxide derivatives 4 .

The structure of these compounds is unambiguously confirmed by IR, ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy and by MS for some products.     

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.

Selective α-D-Galactosylation of Benzyl 4,6-O-Benzyhdene-β-D-Galacto-Pyranoside with 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-Benzyl-α-D-Galactopyranosyl Bromide Under Catalysis by Halide Ion

Abstract

Selective glycosylation of benzyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D-galacto-pyranoside (1) with 1.5 mole equivalent of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-binzyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (2) catalyzed by halide ion gave the (1→2)-α-(5) and (l→3)-α-D-linked disaccharide (7) derivatives in 22 and 40% yields, respectively. The D-galactose unit at the reducing end of 2-O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-D-galactose [11) at equilibrium in D₂O was shown By ¹³C NMR spectroscopy to exist in the pyranose and furanose forms in the ratio of ～2:1.     

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.     

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.     

A Novel Oxazolidine Derivative from Xylose and Urea

Abstract

Reaction of equiraolecular amounts of xylose and urea in D₂O at 68 °C, monitored by ¹³C NMR, gave a six carbon xylofuranosyl derivative as the major product. No intermediate in the formation of this monomeric compound was detected. The xylofuranosyl derivative was subsequently isolated and purified from a six week 0.1 molar reaction of xylose and urea in H₂O. Its structure, α-d-xylo-furano[1,2-d]oxazolidin-2-one 1, was confirmed by elemental analysis, ¹H coupled and decoupled ¹³C NMR, ¹H NMR, IR and DCI-MS. The ¹H NMR and GC-MS (El, DCI) of the N-acetyl-di-O-acetyl derivative 2 were in agreement with structure 1.     

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.     

P,Se-Heterocycles From the Quasi-Binary System PhP/Se

Abstract

Contrary to statements in the literature the PhP/Se system does contain a compound with a PhP/Se ratio lower than 1. The reaction of pentaphenyl-cyclopentaphosphane and elemental selenium yields depending on the molar ratio the heterocyclic compounds (PhP)₄Se (1), (PhP)₃Se₃ (2), or (PhP)₂Se₄ (3). 1, 2, and 3 are yellow to orange-red crystalline stable compounds. Their molecular structures, as shown by the ³¹P- and ⁷⁷Se-NMR data as well as by the X-ray crystal structure determination of 2, parallel those of the corresponding sulfur derivatives. Nucleophiles add easily to the phosphorus in 3 splitting the P₂Se₂-ring.     

New Homologation Procedures of Carbonyl Compounds by Means of Diethyl[trimethylsilylethoxymethyl]phosphonate

Abstract

The lithiated carbanion of the phosphonate 1 prepared by means of s-BuLi at -78°C in THF can be treated with C1Si(CH₃)₃ transforming 1 into its α-Si(CH₃₎₃ substituted derivative 2. Whereas the anion of 1 is thermally unstable at temperatures exceeding -70°C the preparation of the corresponding carbanion of 2 by means of s-BuLi and the subsequent reaction with carbonyl compounds can be carried out at temperatures about -30°C illustrating the carbanion stabilizing effect of the α - silyl group. The phosphonate 2 is very suitable to effect conversion of many aldehydes and ketones via the vinylphosphonate-type 3 (applying a Peterson elimination) either to the homolocles esters 4 or the special α -hydroxyesters 5.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of Phosphinous Tungsten Complexes

Abstract

The asymmetric synthesis of phosphinous compounds from diheterophosphacycloal kane-1,3,2 was investigated in a transition metal complex series. Complexes 1 and 2 were prepared from diaminophosphine, (?)-ephedrine and W (CO)₅ THP (1: δ³¹ P=+147,6 ppm; J_PW=313 Hz M^.+=595;2 δ³ p=+156 ppm J_PW=304 Hz M^.+=533; 90%dp) in two steps. Methyl lithium reacted with 1 to give stereospecific 3 (83%Yield) by P-O linkage (3 δ³¹ P=+64 ppm; J_PW =261 Hz; M^.+ ? 28=583). The aminophosphine complex 3 was stereochemically stable and was used for studies of synthetic applications. HCL gas reacted with 3 in CH₂Cl₂ to give the non optically active chlorophosphine complex 4 (δ³¹ P=+103,6 ppm; J_PW=290 Hz; M^.+ =482). This compound immediately gave salt 6 (δ³¹ P=+66,7 ppm; J_PW =240 Hz) by reaction with (?)-menthol and triethylamine. The acid methanolysis of 3 gave a mixture of 5 and 6 and the unchanged (?)-ephedrine salt [5:30% yield; δ³¹ P=+114 ppm; J_pw=280 Hz; [α]_D=+1,2° (CH₂Cl₂); M^.+=478; 6 : 60% yield; δ³¹p=+102,9 ppm; J_PW=264 Hz; [α]_D =+16,9° (CH₂Cl₂); M^.+=464]. Compound 6 was thus obtained with a 80% yield and a specific rotation of + 20,2° (CH₂Cl₂) in isopropanol/H₂SO₄ 5M medium. The enantiomeric excess of 6 was determined by RMN³¹P. Acid hydrolysis of 3 or the reaction with CH₃SO₃H, gave phosphinous acid complex 6 with an optical rotation of + 4,8° or ?1,8° respectively. These results provide precious informations about the stereochemistry and reactivity of the P-N linkage in this aminophosphine transition metal series, which differs notably from that of the corresponding (PO) N bond.     

Methyl-2,6-Anhydro-α-D-Mannofurahosid Eine Verbesserte Darstellungsmethode Sowie Die Bestimmung Der Kristall- Und Molekolstruktur

Abstract

The title compound 3, which is the first member of a new class of anhydroglycosides, was initially isolated from the methanolysis mixture of the pyranoid isomer 1 in about 1% yield. Improved yields of greater than 30 % of 3 are obtained by treating the main product of the aforementioned methanolysis, the dimethylacetal 2, with a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulfonic acid in boiling xylene. 3 (C₇H₁₂O₅) crystallizes from diisopropyl ether in the monoclinic space group P21 (Z=2) with a = 552.4(1), b = 685.2(1), c = 1052.9(3) pm, α = 90.0, β = 98.95(6) and Y = 90.0°. The structure was solved by X-ray crystal structure analysis using direct methods to R indices of 0.036 and 0.045, respectively, for 1180 independent reflections. The furanoid ring in 3 adopts a conformation intermediate between ²T₃(D) and E₃(D) (puckering parameters: Q = 48.9 pm; Φ = 102.4°). The oxane ring adopts an ^a2C_a5(D) conformation, which is heavily distorted by flattening at C-6 (puckering parameters: Q = 64.2 pm; Φ = 58.1° and 0 = 159.5°). Orientation of the glycosidic methyl group is in accord with the exo-anomeric effect. The molecules of 3 are interchained in three dimensions by a system of hydrogen bonds.     

Oxygenation of Trimethylsilylallenes Readily Obtainable from Organoboranes. Syntheses of 1-Trimethylsilyl-1-alkyn-3-ones and 1-Trimethylsilyl-1-alkyn-3-ols

Abstract

Recently we have reported that the reaction of sodium methoxide with ate-complexes (1) readily prepared from trimethyl-silylpropargyl phenyl ether and organoboranes gives trimethyl-silylallenes (2) selectively (eq. 1).¹ In an attempt to find a new synthetic application of such silylallenes (2), the oxidation of 2 was examined. Although the usual oxidants such as m-chloro-perbenzoic acid were found to be unsuitable for the oxidation of the silylallenes, it was discovered that 2 was autoxidized at room temperature to propargylic hydroperoxide (3) (eq. 2). For example, the acidified starch-iodine test² strongly suggested the presence of the organic hydroperoxide in the reaction mixture obtained from 1,2-heptadienyltrimethylsilane (2, R=Bu) and oxygen. The hydroperoxide (3, R=Bu) was isolated in a 40% yield by distillation, 45–48 [ddot]C/0.1 mmHg. In the infrared spectrum, the OH stretching frequency appears at 3430 cm^?1 and the C°C at 2180 cm,^?1     

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.     

3-Diethoxyphosphorylpropionic Acid,a Convenient Reagent for the Synthesis of ß,γ-Unsaturated Amides

Abstract

β,γ-Unsaturated amides are versatile intermediates in the organic synthesis e.g. in the synthesis of various analogues of penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and 1) functionalized monocyclic β-lactam antibiotics. We have now developed a novel route to β,γ-unsaturated. amides 3 starting from di ethoxyphosphory l propionic acid (1). Dilithium derivative of the acid 1 reacts with a variety of carbonyl compounds to give lactons 2. Treatment of 2 with amines results in nucleophilic lacton ring opening with subsequent Horner-Emnons olefination to give 3 (R⁵=HI. Alkylation of the lithiated lacton 2 with alkyl halogens folloved by the ring opening-olefination sequence provides d-substituted α, -unsaturated amides 3 (R⁵=alkyl).     

Synthesis of the Four Configurational Isomers of N-Benzoyl-2, 3, 6-Trtdeoxy-3-C-Methyl-3-Amino-L-Hexose from the (2S, 3R)-Diol Obtained from α-Methylcinnamaldehyde by Fermentation with Baker'S Yeast

Abstract

The erythro and threo chiral C₅ methyl ketones (4) and (5), prepared from the (2S, 3R)-methyl diel (1b), were converted into the phenylsulfenimines (6) and (7), which, in turn, on reaction with allyl-magnesiutn bromide, yielded after acid hydrolysis and benzoylation, the diastereoisomeric C₈-N-aminodiol derivatives (9) and (11), with threo stereochemistry relative to positions 4 and 5. Ozonolysis of (9) and (11) yielded the l-arabino and l-xylo 3-O-methyl branched aminodeoxysugar derivatives (13) and (15), respectively. Using diallylzinc as the reagent, the diastereoisomeric erythro products (8) and (10) were obtained. The latter materials gave the l-ribo-and l-lyxo-(lL-vancosamine) derivatives (12) and (14) upon oxonolysis. The ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of the four isomeric aminodeoxysugar derivatives (12)—(15) were discussed.
