Carbasugar analogues of galactofuranosides: β-O-linked derivatives and towards β-S-linked derivatives
摘要:
A selectively protected carbasugar analogue of beta-galactofuranose was synthesised from glucose using ring-closing metathesis as the key step. The carbasugar was converted into an alpha-galacto configured 1,2-epoxide, which was an effective electrophile in Lewis acid catalysed coupling reactions with alcohols. The epoxide was opened with regioselective attack at C-1 to give beta-galacto configured C-1 ethers. Using carbohydrates as nucleophiles, we synthesised a number of pseudodisaccharides. The epoxide was also regioselectively opened at C-1 with a sulfur nucleophile under basic conditions to give a beta-galacto configured C-1 thioether. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The synthesis of 4a-carba-β-d-galactofuranose is described starting fromdiacetoneglucose. The key ring-closure step was carried out by metathesis to form a cyclopentene. Catalytic hydrogenation of the CC double bond gave the galacto configured saturated carbahexofuranose with excellent diastereoselectivity.
