Desulfonylation with Mg−MeOH−NiBr2: An Expedient Reagent System for the Synthesis of 2-Amino-2,3-dideoxy Furanosides
摘要:
A catalytic amount of NiBr2 with Mg-MeOH increases the efficiency of reductive desulfonylation of the beta-sulfonylated aminosugars. The Mg-MeOH-NiBr2 system has been utilized in the synthesis of 2-amino-2,3-dideoxypentofuranosides and 2-amino-2,3-dideoxyhexofuranosides. The yield of the desulfonylation improved dramatically from 0% with the known reagents to 44-75% with Mg-MeOH-NiBr2.
Unusual addition of amines to C-2 of vinyl sulfone-modified-β-d-pent-2-enofuranosyl carbohydrates: synthesis of a new class of β-anomeric 2-amino-2,3-dideoxy-d-threo-pentofuranosides
摘要:
When 3-C-sulfonyl-pent-2-enofuranosides and 3-C-sulfonyl-hex-2-enofuranosides were reacted with primary and secondary amines, only the beta-anomeric methoxy group of the pent-2-enofuranoside did not cause any hindrance to incoming nitrogen nucleophiles. This resulted in the 'unusual' addition of amines, in which the diastereoselectivity of the reaction was overwhelmingly in favor of amino sugars of the D-arabino configuration. Selected products were desulfonylated to obtain a new class of beta-anomeric 2-amino-2,3-dideoxy-D-threo-pentofuranosides. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A wide range of vinyl sulfone-modified carbohydrates have been prepared as starting materials for the synthesis of polysubstituted chiral pyrroles. All these vinyl sulfones reacted efficiently with ethylisocyanoacetate to generate a plethora of new pyrrole derivatives. Furanosyl rings opened up during pyrrole synthesis, and pyranosyl rings were opened up by reacting the pyrrole with POCl3/DMF. This paper also reports one of the most efficient and practical routes for the synthesis of beta-substituted pyrroles.
