Synthesis of anomeric sulfonamides and their behaviour under radical-mediated bromination conditions
摘要:
O-Peracetylated methyl 3-(D-glycopyranosylthio)propanoates of beta-D-gluco, and alpha- and beta-D-galacto configurations were oxidized to the corresponding S,S-dioxides (sulfones) by Oxone (R) or MCPBA. Oxidation of the beta-D-gluco derivative with H2O2/Na2WO4 gave the corresponding S-oxide (sulfoxide). DBU-induced elimination of methyl acrylate from the P-D-gluco and P-D-galacto configured SS-dioxides (sulfones) gave O-peracetylated beta-D-glycopyranosyl-1-C-sulfinates which, on treatment with H2NOSO3H, furnished the corresponding beta-D-glycopyranosyl-1-C-sulfonamides. Radical-mediated bromination of the protected methyl 3-(beta-D-glycopyranosylthio)propanoate S.S-dioxides gave mixtures of 1-C- and 5-C-bromoglycosyl compounds. Similar brominations of the O-peracetylated beta-D-glycopyranosyl-1-C-sulfonamides resulted in the formation Of U-D-glycopyranosyl bromides and 1-C- and 5-C-bromoglycosyl sulfonamides. A rationale for these observations was proposed. Methyl 3-(beta-D-glucopyranosylthio)propanoate, its S,S-dioxide, and beta-D-glucopyranosyl-1-C-sulfonamide proved inefficient when tested as inhibitors of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b.

Glycosyl radicals were generated under acidic conditions for the first time by the use of glycosyl sulfinates as precursors. This development enables the installation of glycosyl units directly onto pharmaceutically relevant pyridine cores by the Minisci reaction.
