Equatorial Anomeric Triflates from Mannuronic Acid Esters
摘要:
Activation of mannuronic acid esters leads to a conformational mixture of alpha-anomeric triflates, in which the equatorial triflate (C-1(4), chair) is formed preferentially. This unexpected intermediate clearly opposes the anomeric effect and is mainly stabilized by the electron-withdrawing carboxylate function at C-5. Because the anomeric center carries a significant positive charge, the C-1(4), mannopyral chair approximates the favored H-3(4), half-chair oxacarbenium ion conformation. The excellent B-selectivity in glycosytations of mannuronates is postulated to originate from the cooperative action of the triflate counterion and the (stereo)etectronic effects governing oxacarbenium ion stabilization in the transition state leading to the 1,2-cis product.

The search for stereoselective glycosylationreactions has occupied synthetic carbohydrate chemists for decades. Traditionally, most attention has been focused on controlling the S(N)2-like substitution of anomeric leaving groups as highlighted by Lemieux's in situ anomerization protocol and by the discovery of anomeric triflates as reactiveintermediates in the stereoselective formation of beta-mannosides

The reactivity of a variety of mannopyranosyl uronic acid donors was assessed In a set of competition experiments, in which two (S)-tolyl mannosyl donors were made to compete for a limited amount of promoter (NIS/TfOH). These experiments revealed that the reactivity of mannuronic acid donors is significantly higher than expected based on the electron-withdrawing capacity of the C-5 carboxylic acid ester function. A 4-O-acetyl-beta-(S)-tolyl mannuronic acid donor was found to have similar reactivity as per-O-benzyl-alpha-(S)-tolyl mannose.
