Several pyridylmethyl-C-beta-D-glycosides (3a-3l, 6a, and 6h) were synthesized by refluxing 3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)/(beta-D-cellobiosyl)-propanones and dicyanobenzylidenes with ammonium acetate in anhydrous toluene in moderate to good yields. The reaction involves a C-C Michael addition of enamine, formed from glycosyl ketone and ammonium acetate, to the dicayanobenzylidene derivative; subsequent dehydrative cyclization; and oxidative aromatization. Two of these prototypes, compounds 3e and 3k, were deacetylated to the respective glucopyranosyl methyl pyridines 4e and 4k with NaOMe/MeOH. The synthesized compounds were screened for their in vitro alpha-glucosidase inhibitory activities and one of the compounds showed 20% inhibition as compared to standard drug acarbose displaying 39% inhibition.
