Stereoselectivity of glycosylations of conformationally restricted mannuronate esters
摘要:
Glycosidation of conformationally unrestricted mannuronate ester donors proceeds in a highly P-selective fashion, whereas condensations of mannuronate ester donors, which are con formationally constrained by a 3,4-butanedimethylacetal or a 2,3-isopropylidene function, provide a-selective products. We hypothesize that the difference in stereochemical outcome of these condensations results from the different conformations of the product forming oxacarbenium intermediate. The formation of the beta-linked products from the flexible mannuronates is thought to originate from the most favorable H-3(4) oxacarbenium ion, which is not accessible from the conformationally restrained donors. Although an a-triflate intermediate is formed upon activation of the 3,4-butanedimethylacetal protected mannuronate ester thio donor, this is not the product forming intermediate. The anomeric triflate serves as a reservoir for the H-4(3) oxacarbenium ion, which is glycosidated to provide the a-linked mannuronates. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The search for stereoselective glycosylationreactions has occupied synthetic carbohydrate chemists for decades. Traditionally, most attention has been focused on controlling the S(N)2-like substitution of anomeric leaving groups as highlighted by Lemieux's in situ anomerization protocol and by the discovery of anomeric triflates as reactiveintermediates in the stereoselective formation of beta-mannosides
