Beta-phenylselenoglycosides have been efficiently and stereoselectively synthesized by direct oxidative glycosylation of benzenselenolate (PhSe(-)) with glycals. A rationalization of the presently described beta-selectivity and the opposite alpha-selectivity reported by Danishefsky in the ring-opening of epoxy glycals with benzeneselenol (PhSeH) is proposed.

Pd-catalyzed stereoselective glycosylations using unsaturated sugar derivatives, glycals, have been successfully achieved in recent years. This review focuses on approaches to control the stereoselectivities of glycosides via π-allyl intermediates that mimic the Tsuji-Trost asymmetric allylic alkylation reactions, enabling stereoselectivity control through rational design. In the reaction process, zwitterionic Pd-π-allyl complexes, formed after the oxidative addition and decarboxylation, play a crucial role in increasing reactivities and enhancing the stereoselectivities of α- and β-glycosides.

The development of a flexible, component-based synthetic route to the amino sugar fragment of the lincosamide antibiotics is described. This route hinges on the application and extension of nitroaldol chemistry to forge strategic bonds within complex amino sugar targets and employs a glycal epoxide as a versatile glycosyl donor for the installation of anomeric groups. Through building-block exchange and late-stage functionalization, this route affords access to a host of rationally designed lincosamides otherwise inaccessible by semisynthesis and underpins a platform for the discovery of new lincosamide antibiotics.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Ribofuranoid -Glycals by One-Pot Julia Olefination Using Ribofuranosyl Sulfones.

Article Synopsis
  • A method for one-pot Julia olefination using ribofuranosyl sulfones was developed, producing α-anomers with complete α-selectivity through a specific glycosylation process.
  • The reaction with aldehydes yielded thermodynamically less stable α-glycals with high stereoselectivity, especially notable with aromatic aldehydes.
  • The study highlighted the influence of anomeric configuration on stereoselectivity in the olefination, supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and demonstrated effective protection of products using a 2-cyanoethyl group.

Highly ( Z)-diastereoselective approaches for the synthesis of trifluoromethylated exo-glycals by copper and photoredox catalysis are described. These complementary reactions are applicable to a wide range of methylene exo-glycals generated from the corresponding pyranoses and furanoses and give trifluoromethylated compounds under mild conditions in moderate to good yields. DFT calculations have allowed a rationalization of the observed ( Z)-stereoselectivity.

Stereoselective Synthesis of 2-Deoxyglycosides from Glycals by Visible-Light-Induced Photoacid Catalysis.

The direct, photoacid-catalyzed synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosides from glycals is reported. A series of phenol-conjugated acridinium-based organic photoacids were rationally designed, synthesized, and studied alongside the commercially available phenolic catalyst eosin Y. In the presence of such a photoacid catalyst and light, synthetic glycals were activated and coupled with a range of alcohols to afford 2-deoxyglycosides in good yields and with excellent α-selectivity.
