Direct C-glycosylation of indole with unprotected mono-, di-, and trisaccharides: a one-pot synthesis of 1-deoxy-1,1-bis(3-indolyl)alditols
摘要:
1-Deoxy-1, 1-bis(3-indolyl)alditols were synthesized by reacting 2.5 equiv of indole with 1 equiv of the following seven monosaccharides (D-galactose, D-mannose, D-allose, 2-deoxy-D-arabinohexose (2-deoxy-D-glucose), D-arabinose, L-arabinose, D-xylose), two disaccharides (D-lactose, D-maltose), and a trisaccharide (D-maltotriose) in 1:1 EtOH-H(2)O at room temperature, or at 40 or 50 degrees C, in the presence of 5 mol % scandium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Sc(OTf)(3)], in a one-pot reaction, in 36-95% yields.
