The stereoselective peracetylation of α-d-xylose (1) and α-l-arabinose (4) using a combination of triethylamine and acetic anhydride in the presence or absence of a catalytic amount of dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) is described. The peracetylated d-xylose and l-arabinose alpha pyranose anomers 2α and 5α are obtained in 97% and 56% yields respectively. The peracetylated d-xylose beta pyranose anomer 2β is obtained in 71% yield through simple modification of the reaction conditions. Details regarding synthesis and isolation optimization studies under different conditions are presented below. The stereoselective peracetylation reactions disclosed here have been used to separate mixtures of d-xylose and l-arabinose as their peracetylated derivatives 2β and 5α in 47% and 42% yields and can provide pure pentoses after deacetylation.

There is very little research on the synthesis of β-3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) -glycosides, which restricted their widespread application. Herein, a convenient and efficient approach to synthesize β-Kdo -glycosides was developed based on a TfO/(-Tol)SO preactivation strategy using bench stable peracetylated Kdo thioglycoside as a donor a thermodynamic S1-like mechanism.

A DMF-modulated glycosylation approach for the stereoselective synthesis of α-Kdo glycosides with readily accessible peracetylated Kdo ynenoate as a donor was described. By utilizing this approach, we completed the synthesis of various linkage types of Kdo-Kdo disaccharides and the α-Kdo-containing protected trisaccharide variant relevant to the lipopolysaccharide of strain Nine Mile.

A convenient and efficient approach was developed to synthesize α-Kdo -glycosides based on the TfO/(-Tol)SO preactivation strategy using peracetylated Kdo thioglycoside as a donor. Under the optimized reaction conditions, several -glycoside products, including α-(2 → 1)-, α-(2 → 2)-, α-(2 → 3)-, and α-(2 → 6)-Kdo products, were stereoselectively synthesized in high yields. Remarkably, a series of aromatic α-Kdo -glycosides were first and successfully constructed in high yields.

Synthetic deoxy-fluoro-carbohydrate derivatives and seleno-sugars are useful tools in protein-carbohydrate interaction studies using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy because of the presence of the F and Se reporter nuclei. Seven saccharides containing both these atoms have been synthesized, three monosaccharides, methyl 6-deoxy-6-fluoro-1-seleno-β-D-galactopyranoside (1) and methyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-seleno-α/β-D-galactopyranoside (2α and 2β), and four disaccharides, methyl 4--(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-1-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (3), methyl 4-Se-(β-D-galactopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-4-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (4), and methyl 4-Se-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α/β-D-galactopyranosyl)-4-seleno-β-D-glucopyranoside (5α and 5β), the three latter compounds with an interglycosidic selenium atom. Selenoglycosides 1 and 3 were obtained from the corresponding bromo sugar by treatment with dimethyl selenide and a reducing agent, while compounds 2α/2β, 4, and 5α/5β were synthesized by the coupling of a D-galactosyl selenolate, obtained from the corresponding isoselenouronium salt, with either methyl iodide or a 4--trifluoromethanesulfonyl D-galactosyl moiety.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how O-peracetylated and O-perbenzoylated glycals with different substituents react with various nucleophiles in the presence of Lewis acids.
  • - Specific nucleophiles, such as simple alcohols and chloride ions, led to the formation of allylic substituted products with distinct axial stereoselectivity.
  • - Interestingly, when benzyl thiol was used, a rearrangement occurred, producing thioglycosides, and a sugar-derived thiol generated both allylic substituted and rearranged products.
