Products from furans. VII. A General Route for the Synthesis of α-(1,2-cis) and β-(1,2-trans) Glycoconjugates via 1-O-Acyl and 1-O-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-azido-2,3-dideoxyglycopyranosides

A methodology for the synthesis of 2,3,6-trideoxy- and 2,3-dideoxy-2-aminoglycosides is presented. 2,3-Dideoxyhex-2-enopyranos-4-uloses (named also as 2H-pyran-3(6H)-ones) were used for the synthesis of 1-O-acetyl, 1-O-ethyloxycarbonyl and 1-S-phenyl-2,3,6-trideoxy-(or 2,3-dideoxy)-2-azidoglycopyranosyl donors. Glycosidation of the above thio-ethers with a variety of alcohols in the presence of N-bromosuccinimide as activator yielded predominantly α-glycosides, while acetates afforded β-glycosides when TMSOTf was used as a promoter. The coupling of carbonates using tin tetrachloride or TMSOTf proved to be the most successful procedure, yielding the β-glycoside as the predominant product. Thus, glycoconjugates of aminosugars, steroids and aminoacids have been synthesized.

Synthesis of Glycosyl Acceptors by Regioselective Benzylations of a 2-Deoxy-2-phthalimido-D-glucoside.

The direct regioselective benzylation of p-methoxyphenyl 2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) with benzyl bromide under basic conditions gives 4,6-di-O-benzyl (2a), 4-O-benzyl (3a) and 6-O -benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside 4a. When the benzylation was performed in the presence of di-n-butyltin oxide, p-methoxyphenyl 4,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside 5 was obtained in high yield. This constitutes a new and efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of the glycosyl acceptor 5.

Synthesis and structure of some substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-7-propargyloxy-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles

A series of 2-amino-7-hydroxy-4H-chromene-3-carbonitriles 4a–l were synthesized through three-component reaction using sodium carbonate as a catalyst. The reaction was carried out in 96% ethanol-water medium (1:20 ratio in volume). Propargyl ether compounds 5a–l of these chromene-3-carbonitriles were successfully synthesized from corresponding hydroxyl chromene derivatives by reaction with propargyl bromide. Two different procedures were applied in this process: the procedure that used potassium carbonate in dried acetone and the procedure that used sodium hydride in dried DMF. The latter gave the ethers 5a–l in higher yields. The single-crystal X-ray structure of propargyl ether 5g has been recorded.
