A novel synthesis of d-galactofuranosyl, d-glucofuranosyl and d-mannofuranosyl 1-phosphates based on remote activation of new and free hexofuranosyl donors
摘要:
The selective synthesis of 1,2-cis-hexofuranosyl 1-phosphates was readily accomplished according to a procedure based on the 'Remote Activation Concept'. This approach required (i) the preparation of suitable 1,2-trans-hexofuranosyl donors, so that new heterocyclic thiofuranosides were designed and synthesized, (ii) the stereocontrolled phosphorylation of the corresponding unprotected donors and (iii) the simple and fast purification of the resulting anomeric phosphates. This approach showed to be equally efficient in the galactose, glucose and mannose series. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
syntheses but the use of galactofuranosidase has not been described yet for the synthesis of galactofuranoconjugates. Interestingly CtAraf51, an α-l-arabinofuranosidase from Ruminiclostridium thermocellum, is able to use aryl- or alkyl-β-d-galactofuranosides as the substrate but with very low efficiency. To allow its use as a synthesis tool, we decided to improve the efficiency of this enzyme toward these non-natural
The preparation of O-hexofuranosides was accomplished from unprotected 1-thioimidoyl furanosides as donors. The present methodology was first used for the synthesis of octyl galactofuranoside and further extended to D-galactofuranose-containing disaccharides. Within this study, we emphasized the need for additional complexing cations to maintain the furanose ring in its initial size. After experimentation, calcium ion was first used concomitantly with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, the latter being able to activate the thioimidate and the former being likely to inhibit ring expansion. Moreover, an improvement was performed by using copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate which could then meet the requirements as both promoter and complexing agent.
Direct activation of unprotected thioimidoyl furanosides yielded in only one step and few minutes a panel of rare uridine 5'-diphosphofuranoses. Diastereoselectivity of the reaction was tightly connected with reaction time, temperature, and nature of the furanosyl donor. This approach was totally selective since no ring expansion from the initial five-membered ring to the more stable pyranose form was observed.
General One-Step Synthesis of Free Hexofuranosyl 1-Phosphates Using Unprotected 1-Thioimidoyl Hexofuranosides
synthesis of hexofuranosyl 1-phosphates starting from new unprotected glycofuranosyl donors. It required first the preparation of new 1-thiohexofuranosides bearing a thioimidoyl heterocycle as a leaving group. The presence of sulfur and/or nitrogen atom(s) on the aglycon allowed remote activation of these thioglycofuranosides by anhydrous phosphoric acid and led to the target phosphates 9, 27, 29, and 30
