The DIBAL-H reduction of the Baylis-Hillman sugar adduct, obtained from 3-O-benzyl-1,2-isopropylidene-α-D-xylo-pentodialdo-1,4-furanose yielded trisubstituted alkenes by eliminating the β-hydroxyl group. Subsequently, the hydrolysis of the isopropylidene acetal to the corresponding hemiacetal was reacted with N-benzyl hydroxylamine hydrochloride to generate the nitrone, which underwent diastereoselective intramolecular 1,3-dipolar nitrone olefin cycloaddition (INOC) to give an isoxazolidine skeleton. The concomitant reductive cleavage of the N-O bond and benzyl group of the fused isoxazolidines afforded new functionalized aminocyclopentitols in good yields.

The palladium-on-carbon (Pd/C)-catalyzed hydrogenative deprotection of the -benzyl-protecting group was effectively facilitated by the combined use of niobic acid-on-carbon (NbO/C). NbO/C is an acidic heterogeneous catalyst prepared from NbCl and activated carbon. The catalysts were easily removed from the reaction mixture and reusable.

Oxidative debenzylation of N-benzyl amides and O-benzyl ethers using alkali metal bromide.

Org Lett

The oxidative debenzylation of N-benzyl amides and O-benzyl ethers was promoted with high efficiency by a bromo radical formed through the oxidation of bromide from alkali metal bromide under mild conditions. This reaction provided the corresponding amides from N-benzyl amides and carbonyl compounds from O-benzyl ethers in high yields.

The stability of the amino(methoxy) beta-glycosidic bond to glycosidase catalysed hydrolysis is reported. Beta-O-benzyl glucose and beta-O-benzyl galactose are substrates hydrolysed by beta-glucosidase and beta-galactosidase from almonds and Escherichia coli, respectively. However their beta-N-benzyl-(O-methoxy)-glucoside and beta-N-benzyl-(O-methoxy)-galactoside derivatives are competitive inhibitors.

Iron phthalocyanine with iron sulfate has been successfully applied for high chemo- and regioselective reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to give the corresponding amines in a green solvent system without using any toxic ligand. The catalytic systems were also compatible with a large range of other reducible functional groups, such as keto, acid, amide, ester, halogen, lactone, nitrile, N-benzyl, O-benzyl, hydroxy, and heterocycles. In the present study, dinitro compounds have been regioselectively reduced to the corresponding amines with high yield.
