Phenyl and trityl 2-O-stilfonyl-1-thio-alpha-D-manno- and beta-D-glucopyranosides were reacted with sodium azide to yield 2-S-phenyl or 2-S-trityl-D-gluco- and D-mannopyranosyl azides, respectively. Usually, both anomers were formed in approximately equal amounts and formation of glycals was also observed in some cases. The product distribution of these reactions depends on the nature of the aglycone, the applied reagent and also on the solvent. These results can be rationalised by the intermediacy of episulfonium as well as oxocarbenium ions. Oxidation of the 2-S-trityl-alpha-D-glycopyranosyl or alpha-D-mannopyranosyl azides by Oxone (R). gave sodium 2-sulfonato-alpha-D-gluco- and alpha-D-mannopyranosyl azides, respectively.

Disarming, non-participating 2-O-protecting groups in manno- and rhamnopyranosylation: scope and limitations of sulfonates, vinylogous esters, phosphates, cyanates, and nitrates
摘要:
A series of D-mannopyranosyl and L-rhamnopyranosyl thioglycosides; protected with electron-withdrawing non-participating protecting groups on O-2 have been prepared and investigated for their potential as beta-glycosyl donors. Both alpha- and beta-thioglycosides were investigated and the latter preferred on the grounds of enhanced stability at room temperature. A 2-O-nitro-L-rhamnosyl fluoride was also prepared and investigated. Moderate beta-selectivities were observed with some of these donors. With the more powerfully electron-withdrawing groups reduced donor reactivity leads to a requirement for higher reaction temperatures and reduced selectivities. Decomposition temperatures of the intermediate glycosyl triflates were determined by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy and generally correlate with the disarming propensity of the protecting group system.
