Stereoselectivity of D-Psicofuranosylation Influenced by Protecting Groups of Psicofuranosyl Donors
摘要:
We synthesized several types of novel D-psicofuranosyl acetate derivatives, and investigated their use as glycosyl donors in scandium triflate-catalyzed D-psicofuranosylation reactions. Psicofuranosylation demonstrated unique stereoselectivities depending on the protecting groups of psicofuranosyl donors. The donor having a 3,4-isopropylidene group afforded beta-psicofuranosides with high stereoselectivities. Donors having a C3 benzoyloxy group demonstrated low stereoselectivities with no neighboring group participation. This study also discusses the stereoselectivities of psicofuranosylation based on the conformers of the glycosyl oxocarbenium ion intermediates as influenced by the protecting groups of the psicofuranosyl donors. We also compared the neighboring group participation of the glycosyl donors bearing a C3 benzoyloxy group during D-psicofuranosylation and D-fructofuranosylation.
This paper describes the formation of L-fructo- and D-psicofuranosidic bonds by the scandium triflate catalyzed glycosidation. The reaction of the benzoylated L-fructofuranosyl acetate with an alcohol in the presence of 5 mol% scandium triflate in toluene at room temperature for 3 h stereoselectively afforded the corresponding alpha-L-fructofuranoside in good yields. Several alpha-D-psicofuranosides were predominantly obtained in good yields by the reactions between the benzoylated D-psicofuranosyl acetate and alcohols under similar reaction conditions. This method successfully provided the sucrose mimics composed of D-glucopyranose and L-fructofuranose or D-psicofuranose.
