A Simplified,One-Pot Preparation of Acetobromosugars from Reducing Sugars

ABSTRACT

Acetobromoglycoses continue to be important as glycosyl donors in the synthesis of simple glycosides as well as complex oligosaccharides. From reducing sugars they are usually prepared via their peracetates in two steps. In the first step, sugars are converted to their peracetates using pyridine and acetic anhydride^1,2 and the acetates are then converted in a second step to acetobromosugars using a solution of hydrogen bromide in glacial acetic acid(HBr/HOAc).² Although not in use very often Redemann and Niemann³ as well as Lemieux⁴ have described one-pot methods for the preparation of acetobromoglucose wherein the reducing sugar is first treated with acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid³ or perchloric acid⁴ respectively to afford the peracetate. Direct conversion of the peracetate to its 1-bromo-derivative, in yields ranging from 80-87%, was then achieved by either treating the solution of the peracetate with gaseous HBr³ or with bromine in the presence of red phosphorus.⁴ In another approach to a one-pot method Humoller⁵ prepared tri-O-acetyl-β-L-arabinopyranosyl bromide in 40% yield by passing anhydrous HBr gas through a suspension of L-arabinose in acetic anhydride. By an essentially similar method Dale⁶ obtained acetobromosugars in yields ranging from 26-77% depending upon the sugar. Because acetobromosugars are the compounds most frequently used for synthesizing numerous other sugar derivatives, we thought it would be worthwhile to report our recent observation that acetic anhydride and HBr/HOAc can be used with advantage for the preparation of acetobromosugars.     

Application of the PMC Protecting Group in the Efficient Synthesis of 4,4‐Disubstituted Piperidines

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of the 4,4‐disubstituted piperidine scaffold 1 was accomplished by treating the PMC N‐protected α,β‐unsaturated ethyl cyanoacetate 9 with various Grignard reagents (R₁MgX). Subsequent heating at 190°C in a strong base provided carboxylic acids 12–20b in good yield. The PMC group was easily removed at room temperature with 33% HBr in acetic acid.     

Palladium(0)-Mediated Synthesis of Acetylated Unsaturated 1,4-Disaccharides

Abstract

Alkylation of ethyl 6-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-4-O-methoxycarbonyl-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranoside (1) with various peracetylated 1-hydroxy sugars in the presence of a catalytic amount of palladium(O) gave the corresponding unsaturated 1,4-disaccharides and trisaccharides. In all cases the reaction is regio- and stereospecific according to the unsaturated moiety, alkylation occuring only at C-4 of the unsaturated carbohydrate, with overall retention of configuration.     

Strukturelle Abwandlungen an N-Acetylneuraminsäure, 25. Mitt.: Synthese von Methyl-2-α-glycosiden von 4-epi-, 7-epi-, 8-epi- und 7,8-bis-epi-N-Acetylneuraminsäure

The -methylketoside of N-acetylneuraminic acid methylester (4) is transformed via the deacetylated compound5 into the 9,8-O-isopropylidenderivative6 which could be oxidized regioselectively by RuO₄ to the corresponding 4-oxo-sialic acid analogue7. Reduction with the boraneammonia complex produces a 1:1 mixture of6 and the desired -methylketoside of 9,8-O-isopropyliden-4-epi-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid methylester (8). Removing of the isopropylidene group gives the -methylketoside of 4-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid methylester (9), which was further transformed to the ammonium salt of 4-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid -methylketoside (10). On the other hand compound5 was turned into the 4,8,9-tri-O-t-butyldimethylsilylderivative11 a from which the corresponding 7-oxo-compound12 by oxidation with RuO₄ derives. The reduction of12 with BH₃ - NH₃ yielded a 1:1 mixture of the starting material11 a and the desired 7-epi-derivative13 a which gives either via the purified peracetylated -methylketosid of 7-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid methylester (14) or a direct saponification the sodium salt of 7-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid--methylketoside (15).Applying the Königs-Knorr procedure to the peracetylated 8-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid methylester (16) gives rise to the formation of a 1:1 mixture of the corresponding - and -methylketosides17 and18 besides traces of the corresponding 2,3-dideoxy-2,3-dideohydro-sialic acid derivative19. After chromatographic separation of17 further saponification leads to the sodium salt of 8-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid--methylketoside (20). In an analogous procedure the sodium salt of 7,8-di-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid--methylketoside (25) was prepared starting from the peracetylated 7,8-di-epi-N-acetylneuraminic acid methylester (21), whereby a mixture of the - and -methylketosides22 and23 was formed in a ratio 95:5 besides traces of the peracetylated 2,3-dideoxy-2,3-didehydrosialic acid methylester (24).

A New Procedure for Highly Regio‐ and Stereoselective Iodoacetoxylation of Protected Glycals and α‐1,2‐Cyclopropanated Sugars

Protected glycals and α‐1,2‐cyclopropanated sugars were converted in high yields and selectivities in less than 2 h at low temperatures to 2‐deoxy‐2‐iodoglycosyl acetates or novel 2‐deoxy‐2‐iodomethylglycosyl acetates using the simple, inexpensive reagent mixture of ammonium iodide, hydrogen peroxide, and acetic anhydride/acetic acid in acetonitrile. The protected glycals gave rise to 2‐deoxy‐2‐bromoglycosyl acetates when ammonium bromide was used instead of the iodide, although longer reaction times were required and selectivities were inferior. Other simple olefins such as styrene and indene were also converted to their corresponding 1,2‐trans‐iodoacetates.     

Catalysis by HBr in the bromination of o-xylene in acetic acid

Hydrogen bromide is known to inhibit the bromination of aromatic substrates (ArH), either by fixing up bromine as HBr₃ or ArH as ArH · HBr. However, there is catalysis by HBr in the bromination of mesitylene in acetic acid. The bromination of o-xylene in acetic acid in the dark is found to be autocatalytic, and the reaction is overall third order, first order in o-xylene with the orders in Br₂ and HBr depending on the concentrations. A composite rate expression involving Br₂ and HBr as electrophiles has been proposed and verified using iodine bromide as a catalyst where the orders are one in each of the reactants, irrespective of the concentrations used.

Compound 7 reacts with triethyl orthoformate, acetic anhydride or with CS₂/pyridine to produce pyrimidothienopyridazines 8,9 and pyridazothienothiazine 11.     

Bi(III) SALTS AS NEW CATALYSTS FOR THE SELECTIVE CONVERSION OF TRIMETHYLSILYL AND TETRAHYDROPYRANYL ETHERS TO THEIR CORRESPONDING ACETATES AND FORMATES

ABSTRACT

Bi(III) salts such as BiCl₃, Bi(TFA)₃ and Bi(OTf)₃ were found to be efficient catalysts for the transformation of trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers to their corresponding acetates and formates with acetic acid and ethyl formate. Selective acetylation and formylation of TMS and THP ethers of alcohols in the presence of phenolic TMS and THP ethers make this method a useful and practical procedure in organic synthesis.

Flow Injection Potentiometric Determination of Coke Acidity and Acetic Acid Content in Vinegar Using an Antimony Electrode

Abstract

A flow injection potentiometric procedure is proposed for the determination of acidity of several samples using an antimony/ antimony oxide electrode. The ΔE/pH curve in phosphate buffer solutions in the pH range from 1.58 to 12.00 showed a linear sub-Nernstian behavior with an operational slope S =-42.1mV/pH_c and a conditional standard potential of 264.8mV. This flow potentiometric electrode responds linearly to low acidity variations of dilute acetic acid solutions from 3.16 to 100mM with a slope of 30.1mV/dec and analytical frequency of 23 results/h. Good reproducibility and an average standard deviation of ±0.5% was obtained. The application of this sensor for the determination of coke acidity and acetic acid in vinegar is reported.

Regiocontrolled Incorporation and Annulation of Glucose into Spirothiazole and Spirothiazoloxazole Derivatives

ABSTRACT

Cyclic ketones 1a-f reacted with mercaptoacetic acid in benzene and/or toluene in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid afforded the corresponding spiro-1,3-oxathialanone derivatives (2a-f). Compounds 2a-f reacted with glucosamine hydrochloride in a mixture of pyridine and ethanol to yield 3-(2′-glucosyl)-2-spiro[1′-cycloalkyl]thiazolidin-4-one derivatives 4a-f. Reaction of 4a-f with fused sodium acetate in a mixture of acetic anhydride and acetic acid gave annulated spirothiazoloxazologlucose derivatives 6a-f. All the synthesized spiro derivatives were identified by conventional methods (IR, ¹H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analyses).
