摘要:
4,6-Benzylidene-protected marmosyl donors have emerged as efficient tools for the formation of 1,2-cis beta-mannosides, which otherwise are difficult to access. Previously studied sulfoxide and trichloroacetimidate mannosyl donors were activated with strong Lewis acids at low temperature and the glycosylations are believed to proceed through intermediate formation of an a-triflate. This paper describes the synthesis of new benzylidene-protected glucosyl and marmosyl methyl 3,5-dinitrosalicylate (DISAL) donors, their application in O-glycosylations, and comparison with a mannosyl trichloroacetimidate donor. In contrast to previous reports on torsionally "disarmed" donors, these glycosylations were performed in the absence of strong Lewis acids, but in the presence of lithium perchlorate or triflate, using either conventional heating to 40 to 60 degrees C or precise microwave heating to 100 to 150 degrees C. This approach aimed at addressing the question of whether marmosyl triflate intermediates are essential for high P-selectivity in 4,6-O-benzylidene directed mannosylations. We find, again, that precise microwave heating promoted glycosylations under very mild conditions.
