Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XV. Synthèse de sucres à insaturation terminale

Treatment of 3-O-benzyl-1, 2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl-α-D -xylo-pentodialdlo-1,4-furanose and 2,5-anhydro-3,4-O-isopropylidene-aldehydo-D -ribose with moderately stable and stable phosphonium ylides led to the corresponding terminal-unsaturated sugars obtained as a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The cis:trans ratios were determined by ¹H-NMR. and (or) GLC. They showed that steric factors play an important role in the control of the stereochemistry of these reactions.     

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.

The previously described one-carbon chain extension of aldehydo-sugars with methylthiomethylene-triphenylphosphorane has been successfully applied to an anhydro-aldehydo-sugar and two w-aldehydo-sugars. Some spectroscopic properties of the so obtained methylthiovinylic sugars are given.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XX. Synthèse de sucres acétyléniques et réarrangment d'intermédiaires carbénoïdes. Communication préliminaire

Two novel methods for the synthesis of terminal acetylenic sugars, both involving a chain extension by one carbon unit, are described. In the first procedure, an aldehydo-sugar is treated with dibromomethylenetriphenyl-phosphorane, then with n-butyllithium and finally with water. The second method involves an one-step reaction between an aldehydo-sugar and dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate. The acetylenic sugars obtained are valuable synthetic intermediates for the preparation of heterocyclic C-nucleosides by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions and some examples of syntheses of this type are described. Treatment of keto-sugars with dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate led to an intermediate carbenoid species which reacted by insertion into a C? H bond in one case and underwent nucleophilic attack by a methoxy group in a second case.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres XXIII Eliminations accompagnant certaines réactions de Wittig

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.     

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.     

Synthèse électrochimique du cycle époxydique. Communication préliminaire

The polarographic behaviour of ditosyloxy alkanes TsO(CH₂)_nOTs in aprotic medium suggests that intramolecular cyclisation takes place after reductive cleavage of a single SO₂? O bond at the dropping electrode. This hypothesis was verified by controlled potential electrolysis of the lower homologues at a mercury cathode. High yields of epoxy compounds are obtained by this method.     

Utilisation d'ylides du phosphore en chimie des sucres. XII Dérivés du D-arabino-hexène-1-tétrol-3,4,5,6

The preparation of several kinds of derivatives of 1-substituted D -arabinc-hex-1-ene-3,4,5,6-tetrols is described. Some of these compounds, having a ‘pseudo-formyl’ group (? CH?CHCN, ? CH?CHSO₂CH₃) are ‘pseudo-aldehydo-sugars’. Their ability to react as aldehydo-sugars was examined in light of their ¹³C-NMR. spectra which provide information on their electron density at C(1) and C(2).     

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.     

Synthèse de sucres aminès ramifiés II. Synthèse et réactions de spiro-aziridines. Communication préliminaire

Treatment of 3-C-cyano-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(toluene-p-sulfonyl)-α-D -allofurannose with AlLiH₄ or RMgX yields spiro-aziridines with two identical substituents on C(3′) (? H, ? CH₃, ? C₂H₅). Reactions of these products and their derivatives are briefly described. If the C(3′) substituents are protons, the aziridine ring is easily opened. In acidic media (HCl), an amino-sugar containing the branched chain ? CH₂Cl is produced; with hydrogenation, a ? CH₃ branched chain results. If the C(3′) substituents are methyl groups, the aziridine ring cannot be opened neither with HCl nor with hydrogen. The acetylated derivative of this latter compound rearranges to the corresponding allylamide with HCl. For both types of spiro-aziridine, the nitrous deamination leads to the corresponding alkene.

The synthesis of branched-chain sugars of the gem-hydroxy-formyl and the gem-hydroxy-hydroxymethyl types is described. A 5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-furanos-3-ulose is treated with cyanomethylene-triphenyl-phosphorane, yielding the two geometrical isomers of the corresponding branched-chain unsaturated sugar. Cis-dihydroxylation(KMnO₄) of these cyanomethylenic compounds affords stereoselectively and in high yield the gem-hydroxy-formyl branched chain sugars whose formyl group is on the more hindered face of the furanose ring. The hydroxymethyl analogues of the latter compounds are readily prepared by their borohydride reduction. This method constitutes a new general route to type A branched-chain sugars epimeric at the branching-point with the sugars which would have been obtained by the classical procedure involving Grignard reagents.

The action of methylthiomethylene-triphenylphosphorane on 2,3: 4,5-di-O-isopropylidene-Aldehydo--L-arabinose led with good yield to the corresponding unsaturated sugar which underwent electrophilic addition with a high regiospecificity. This provides a useful new route for a one-carbon chain extension in the carbohydrate series.

CαH?Cγ(Br)C?N, reacted with binucleophiles, gave rise to α, α, α, β or α, γ ring-forming reactions. C-glycosyl-dioxolanes, -aziridines, -dithianes, -pyrimidines, -furanes and -pyrazoles were so obtained. The stereochemical paths of some of these reactions are discussed.     

Préparation de phosphonates de sucres ramifiés par addition nucléophile conjuguée. Communication préliminaire

Preparation of unsaturated sugars phosphonates using nucleophilic conjugate addition Different types of phosphorus nucleophiles underwent conjugate addition reaction with one of the branched-chain sugars 4, 5 or 11 the addition taking place either on the endo or the exo face of the furanose ring (or on both faces in the case of 11 ). The configuration at C(3) of these new phosphorus-bearing types of sugars as well as the configuration at the phosphorus atom of the cyclic phosphinates 9 and 10 was established by NMR. (³J_P,H–C(2), ³J_P,C(1)). Small amounts (7%) of the spiro enol phosphonate 16 were formed when 11 reacted with trimethyl phosphite.

S-Methylation of 6-S-benzyl-6-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-methyl-α-D-xylo-6-thiohexofuranos-5-ulose ( 1 ) gave the expected sulfonium salt 2 which on alcaline treatment yielded the stable sulfur ylide 3 . This compound constitutes an useful synthetic intermediate in carbohydrate chemistry. On heating in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, it underwent a Stevens rearrangement which led to an extension of the carbon chain of the sugar and, reacted with Michael acceptors, it gave cyclopropanation reactions.     

Dérivés C-glycosyliques. VII. Synthèse et réactions de nitrones dérivées de sucres. Communication préliminaire

The syntheses of three types of sugar nitrones (aldonitrone, ketonitrone and α-β unsaturated aldonitrone) are described. On 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with phenylacetylene, the aldonitrone gave two Δ₄-isoxazolines epimeric at the new asymetric carbon, while the same reaction on the ketonitrone led to a spiro-Δ₄-isoxazoline. The reaction of these nitrones with carbon nucleophiles like phenylethynylmagnesium bromide constitutes a novel chain-extension reaction in carbohydrate chemistry.     

Nouveaux types de sucres acétyléniques. Communication préliminaire

Novel types of acetylenic sugars The coupling, following Cadiot's procedure, of a 6-bromo-5,6-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidène-3-O-methyl-α-D -xylo-hex-5-yno-1, 4-furanose (1) with phenylacetylene, 2-propyn-1-ol or terminal acetylenic sugars gave with excellent yields the expected diynes (an enediyne when the terminal acetylene was the 3,5, 6-trideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D -glycero-hex-3-en-5-yno-1,4-furanose 7 ). 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.     

Synthèse de spiro-pyrazolines par cycloaddition du diazométhane sur des sucres insaturés ramifiés. Influence de l'isomérie géométrique sur l'orientation de la réaction Communication préliminaire

The orientation of the cycloaddition of diazomethane on unsaturated branchedchain sugars has been studied. For 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glycero-tetrofuranose the orientation was ‘normal’ and did not depend on the configuration at the double bond. The same situation prevailed with derivatives of 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methylidene-α-D-xylo-hexofuranose. For the 3-C-acylmethylidene- and the 3-C-cyanomethylidene-3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribo-hexofuranoses, the trans-(H–C(3′)–C(2))-isomer gave the ‘normal’ cycloadduct whereas the cis-isomer gave predominantly the αabnormal spiro-pyrazoline. This observation represents the first instance where the regioselectivity of a cycloaddition reaction is affected by the geometrical isomerism of the dipolarophile. The most probable explanation of the phenomenon is the conformational perturbation about the C(4)--C(5) bond of the unsaturated sugars induced by a change in the configuration at C(3). The consequence of that ‘conformational transmission’ of a difference in configuration at C(3) is that the steric crowding on the cis- than in the trans-isomer. Several novel examples of a new series of C-glycosylidenic derivatives, the spiro-pyrazolines, are described.
