Application of 2-Substituted Benzyl Groups in Stereoselective Glycosylation
摘要:
The use of 2-O-(2-nitrobenzyl) and 2-O-(2-cyanobenzyl) groups controls stereoselective formation of 1,2-trans-glycosidic linkages via the arming participation effect. The observed stereoselectivity likely arises from the intramolecular formation of cyclic intermediate between the electron-rich substituent and the donor oxacarbenium ion providing the expected facial selectivity for attack of the glycoside acceptor. The stereodirecting effect of the 2-nitro- and 2-cyanobenzyl groups attached at the remote position (C-3, C-4, and C-6) of the donor molecule have also been investigated. To prove the postulated mechanism based on the participation effect of 2-substituted benzyl groups in the glycosylation stereoselectivity we used DFT theoretical calculation methodology.

An improved method to efficiently synthesize 2-OH thioaryl glycosides starting from corresponding per-protected glycals was developed, where 1,2-anhydro sugars were prepared by the oxidation of glycals with oxone, followed by reaction of crude crystalline 1,2-anhydro sugars with NaBH4 and aryl disulfides. This method has been further used in a one-pot reaction to synthesize glycosyl donors having both
