Efficient synthesis of ω-mercaptoalkyl 1,2-trans-glycosides from sugar peracetates
摘要:
Lewis acid-promoted reactions of peracetylated sugars (glucose, galactose, maltose, lactose) with omega-bromo-1-alkanols (C-8, C-12) were investigated. ZnCl2, was found to promote the 1,2-trans-glycosylation of the alcohols in toluene at about 60 degrees C in a stereocontrolled manner with better yields than commonly employed promoters such as SnCl4. The omega-bromoalkyl acetylated glycosides were readily converted to omega-mercaptoalkyl glycosides, which are useful for the preparation of glycoclusters. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
