Highly diastereoselective 1,2-dichlorination of glycals using NCS/PPh3: study of substituent and solvent effects
摘要:
Highly diastereoselective 1,2-dichlorination of glycals has been achieved at room temperature conditions in good to excellent yields using a milder, more convenient, less hazardous reagent combination NCS/ PPh3 giving only one major product out of four possible diastereomers [either alpha-gluco (2) or alpha-manno (4)] depending upon the substituents. The diastereoselectivity is maximum (100% alpha/beta-selectivity as well as cis/trans selectivity) for D-galactal and L-rhamnal derivatives. Detailed studies showed that solvent and substituent effects play a significant role in determining the product distribution. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
