Nickel(II)-Catalysed Transformations of 5-Azido-5-deoxy-d-glucofuranose and of 5-Azido-5-deoxy-l-idofuranose
摘要:
Nickel(II) catalysed isomerisation reactions of C-5 modified derivatives of D-glucose as well as L-idose were investigated. 5-Azido-5-deoxy-D-glucofuranose was successfully isomerised into the corresponding D-manno epimer in good yields. Contrasting this result, in the case of the 5-modified L-idofuranose probed, no evidence for successful epimerisation at C-2 could be found. However, this sugar was quantitatively rearranged into the corresponding L-sorbopyranose. Upon extended reaction periods, the latter underwent degradation to give the coresponding 4-modified methyl L-xylonate.
Deoxyfluoroketohexoses: 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-sorbose and -tagatose and 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-L-sorbose
摘要:
4-Deoxy-4-fluoro-alpha-D-sorbose (6) was prepared in crystalline form by the action of potassium hydrogen fluoride on 3,4-anhydro-1,2-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-psicopyranose (3) followed by deacetonation. Under identical conditions, 3,4-anhydro-1,2-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-tagatopyranose (7) underwent epoxide migration to give 4,5-anhydro-1,2-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-fructopyranose (12), which after deacetonation yielded 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-tagatose (15) and 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-alpha-L-sorbopyranose (16), the latter as the crystalline, free sugar. The action of glycol-cleavage reagents on the isopropylidene acetals of the deoxyfluoro sugars was consistent with the assigned structures. The structures were established by 13-C n.m.r. studies of the free deoxyfluoro sugars 6 and 16 and of the isopropylidene acetal 13, and by 1-H n.m.r. studies on the acetylated isopropylidene acetals 5 diacetate, 13 diacetate, and 14 diacetate. 5-Deoxy-5-fluoro-L-sorbose (16) was biologically active, producing in mice effects characteristic of deoxyfluorotrioses and of fluoroacetate. 4-Deoxy-4-fluoro-D-tagatose (15) and 4-deoxy-4-fluoro-D-sorbose (6) produced no apparent effects in mice up to a dose of 500mg/kg. The implications of these findings with respect to transport, phosphorylation, and the action of aldolase on ketohexoses are discussed.
