Starting from methyl 3-deoxy-3-nitro-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), the free sugar 3-deoxy-3-nitro-α-D-glucopyranose (2), its tetraacetate (3), and 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-3-nitro-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (4) were prepared. Another sequence of reactions commencing with 1 gave the 6-O-trityl (6), the 2,4-di-O-acetyl-6-O-trityl (7), the 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl (8), and the 2,6-di-O-acetyl (10) derivatives of 1, whereas the 2,4-di-O-acetyl derivative (9) could not be isolated in pure form because of acetyl group migration. Reaction of the bromide 4 with water, methanol, and benzyl alcohol, respectively, led to 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-3-nitro-β-D-glucopyranose (5) and the corresponding methyl and benzyl β-D-glycosides (8 and 11). Condensation of 4 with 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranose (12), and condensation of tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (14) with the trityl compound 6, furnished derivatives of gentiobiose having a deoxynitro function at C-3′ (13) and C-3 (15), respectively.
从甲基3-去氧-3-硝基-β-D-葡萄糖吡喃苷(1)开始,制备了自由糖3-去氧-3-硝基-α-D-葡萄糖吡喃糖(2)、其四乙酰基(3)、以及2,4,6-三-O-乙酰基-3-去氧-3-硝基-α-D-葡萄糖吡喃基溴化物(4)。另一个以1为起点的反应序列得到了6-O-三苄基(6)、2,4-二-O-乙酰基-6-O-三苄基(7)、2,4,6-三-O-乙酰基(8)和2,6-二-O-乙酰基(10)衍生物,而2,4-二-O-乙酰基衍生物(9)由于乙酰基迁移无法纯化。将溴化物4分别与水、甲醇和苄醇反应,得到2,4,6-三-O-乙酰基-3-去氧-3-硝基-β-D-葡萄糖吡喃糖(5)以及相应的甲基和苄基β-D-糖苷(8和11)。将4与1,2,3,4-四-O-乙酰基-β-D-葡萄糖吡喃糖(12)以及四-O-乙酰基-α-D-葡萄糖吡喃基溴化物(14)与三苄基化合物6进行缩合反应,分别得到在C-3'(13)和C-3(15)位置具有去氧硝基功能的龙胆二糖衍生物。
