An unexpected epimerization resulting from the reaction of alpha -D-glucopyranosyl derivatives with DAST is described. The reaction of 3,4-di-O-acetyl-1,6-di-O-trityl-beta -D-fructofuranosyl 2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha -D-glucopyranoside (1), methyl 2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-trityl-alpha -D-glucopyranoside (6), 2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-trityl-alpha -D-glucopyranosyl 2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-0-trityl-alpha -D-glucopyranoside (13), and 2,3-di-O-acetyl-6-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-alpha -D-glucopyranosyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha -D-glucopyranoside (14) with DAST at 0 degreesC did not give the expected C-4 fluorodeoxy galacto derivatives, but instead, the corresponding 4-O-acetyl-3-hydroxy-alpha -D-galactopyranosides in yields of 52-78%. When the treatment of 6 was carried out at -25 degreesC for similar to5 min the corresponding diastereomeric 4-O-diethylaminosulfinates (9a,b) were isolated as the major products (40%). Evidence suggests that the epimerization reaction most probably resulted from an intramolecular displacement of the intermediate diethylaminosulfur difluoride ester or diethylaminosulfinyl ester by the neighbouring acetoxy groups.
