Stereoselective syntheses of heptaprenylphosphoryl β-d-arabino-and β-d-ribo-furanoses
摘要:
The stereoselective syntheses of heptaprenylphosphoryl beta-D-arabinofuranose and heptaprenylphosphoryl beta-D-ribofuranose are described. In the synthesis of the D-arabino product, the stereoselectivity was achieved by the coupling of a suitably protected beta-D-arabinofuranosyl phosphate intermediate with an activated form of heptaprenol and subsequent deprotection. In the case of the ribo-analog, the desired beta-anomer could be obtained by the more convenient phosphoramidite method. The products were successfully employed in the mycobacterial epimerase assay.
