Towards the synthesis of new dideoxy δ-dicarbonyl heptoses
摘要:
The preparation of a delta-dicarbonyl sugar thorough ring-opening, by a methoxymercuration-demercuration procedure, of a 5-spirocyclopropanated D-galactose derivative, is reported. This method constitutes a new route for the transformation of a hexose into new and interesting delta-dicarbonyl sugars, synthetic precursors of cyclitols, carba- and azasugars. Moreover this is, to our best knowledge, the first reported example of an elongation to a higher sugar starting from a spirocyclopropanated saccharide. (c) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
6-deoxyhex-5-enopyranosides by methylene-zinc-iodide complex, dichlorocarbene, and rhodium ethoxycarbonyl complexaddition afford optimum yields of the corresponding spirocyclopropanes. Surprisingly, a stereospecific spirocyclopropane derivative with the two halogens on the upper face of the 4-hydroxy substituent is obtained. To get more insight on the dichlorocarbene cyclopropanation process a computational study
