Lewis acid-catalyzed stereoselective lactonization and subsequent glycosidation of 2-C-malonyl carbohydrates

Gold(III) bromide is a suitable catalyst for the stereoselective cyclization of 2-C-malonyl carbohydrates to the anomeric center under retention of one ester group. Reopening of the lactones with alcohols in the presence of TMSOTf affords allyl, propargyl and benzyl glycosides with high α-selectivity.     

Barton radical reactions of 2-C-branched carbohydrates

Barton esters have been introduced into the side chain of carbohydrates with high yields in only a few steps from easily available glycals. Their radical reactions afford 2-C-methyl and 2-C-bromomethyl hexoses, pentoses and disaccharides in good yields in analytically pure form. Since the Barton esters have been synthesized by an oxidative radical addition and their transformations by reductive radical processes, our results demonstrate the power of such reactions in carbohydrate chemistry.     

Electron spin density distribution in the polymer phase of CsC60: assignment of the NMR spectrum

We present high resolution 133Cs-13C double resonance NMR data and 13C-13C NMR correlation spectra of 13C enriched samples of the polymeric phase of CsC60. These data lead to a partial assignment of the lines in the 13C NMR spectrum of CsC60 to the carbon positions on the C60 molecule. A plausible completion of the assignment can be made on the basis of an ab initio calculation. The data support the view that the conduction electron density is concentrated at the C60 "equator," away from the interfullerene bonds.     

新型糖氨基酸类化合物的合成研究

糖氨基酸(sugar amino acids, SAAs)是一类同时含有氨基和羧基的糖类衍生物, 具有糖和氨基酸的结构特征和化学反应特性, 常作为多功能合成砌块用于组合化学的研究、糖模拟物和多肽模拟物的构建等. 因此, 该类化合物的设计与合成受到国内外化学家的持续关注. 在本文中, 我们发展了一种简单、高效的合成新型糖氨基酸的方法, 从廉价易得的3,4,6-O-三乙酰基-D-葡萄糖烯和3,4,6-O-三乙酰基-D-半乳糖烯出发, 在硝酸铈铵(CAN)的作用下通过一步自由基加成反应分别得到2-C-二羧酸酯类化合物gluco-2和galacto-2, 再经过脱羧、脱乙酰、碘代、叠氮化钠取代和一锅法还原氨化反应, 以最短直线步骤6步实现了糖氨基酸gluco-7(总收率34%)和galacto-7(总收率19%)的合成. 所有合成的化合物均经过IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR和HRMS的表征.
