Internal biaryl coupling reactions of carbohydrate derivatives carrying two 2-iodo-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl groups under Ullmann conditions were investigated. With substituents at positions 2,3 or 4,6 of a D-glucopyranoside, 2,3 of a D-mannopyranoside, and 3,4 of a D-galactopyranoside, the coupling was found to proceed with a very high degree of stereoselectivity, leading exclusively to the (S)-epimer of the resulting hexamethoxydiphenoyl residue from the D-gluco and D-galacto substrates, and to the (R)-epimer from the D-manno substrate. With substituents at positions 2,4 of D-glucopyranose derivatives in the C-1(4) conformation and at positions 5,6 of a D-glucofuranose derivative, the coupling proceeded efficiently but with modest stereoselectivity. Some deiodinated starting material was formed as a byproduct in all reactions. These results are relevant to ellagitannin chemistry in that they provide further understanding of the structural requirements for highly diastereoselective biaryl coupling within carbohydrate units. In addition, the efficient, complementary reactions of the D-manno and D-galacto substrates provide a method for the enantioselective synthesis of hexamethoxydiphenoic acid derivatives.
