Allyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside was converted by tin-mediated alkylation into the 3-O-p-methoxybenzyl ether which gave the 4-O-mesyl derivative. Sodium benzoate in refluxing N,N-dimethylformamide converted the last compound into allyl 4-O-benzoyl-2,6-di-O-benzyl-3-O-p-methoxybenzyl-α-D-glucopyranoside in high yield. This was saponified and the product was treated with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone to give the required allyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranoside whose structure was confirmed by conversion into the known 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose. Removal of the allyl group from allyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranoside by a standard procedure gave 2,6-di-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose. Both of the title compounds are required as intermediates for the synthesis of analogues of the 'adenophostins'.
烯丙基 2,6-二-O-苄基-α-D-吡喃半乳糖苷通过锡介导的烷基化反应转化为 3-O-对甲氧基苄基醚,从而得到 4-O-甲磺酰基衍生物。苯甲酸钠在回流的 N,N-二甲基甲酰胺中将最后一种化合物转化为 4-O-苯甲酰基-2,6-二-O-苄基-3-O-对甲氧基苄基-α-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷烯丙基,产量很高。将其皂化后,用 2,3-二氯-5,6-二氰基-1,4-苯醌处理产物,得到所需的烯丙基 2,6-二-O-苄基-α-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷,将其转化为已知的 2,3,4,6-四-O-苄基-D-吡喃葡萄糖,证实了其结构。通过标准程序从烯丙基 2,6-二-O-苄基-α-D-吡喃葡萄糖苷中去除烯丙基,得到 2,6-二-O-苄基-D-吡喃葡萄糖。这两种标题化合物都是合成 "腺苷 "类似物所需的中间体。
