Synthesis of O-perbenzoylated 3-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-5-substituted-1,2,4-triazoles, precursors of potent inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase, was studied by ring closures of N-1-acyl-carboxamidrazone type intermediates. Reactions of C-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)formimidate or C-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)formamidine with acid hydrazides as well as acylation of C-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)formamidrazone by acid chlorides unexpectedly gave the corresponding 1,3,4-oxadiazoles instead of 1,2,4-triazoles. The desired triazoles were obtained in reactions of C-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)formamidine or C-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl) formyl chloride with arenecarboxamidrazones, and also in acylations of N-1-tosyl-C-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)formamidrazone with acid chlorides. Theoretical calculations (B3LYP and M06-2X OFT with the standard 6-31G(d,p) basis set) on simple model compounds with methyl and phenyl substituents to understand the bifurcation of the ring closure of N-1-acyl-carboxamidrazones indicated that in general the reaction led to 1,2,4-triazoles. However, the probability of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole forming pathway was shown to be significantly higher with N-1-benzoyl-acetamidrazones, which were closest analogues of the intermediates resulting in C-glucosyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. It was thereby demonstrated that the substitution pattern of the N-1-acyl-carboxamidrazones played a fundamental role in determining the direction of the ring closing reaction. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
