Candida antarcticaB lipase-catalysed alcoholysis of peracetylated alkyl D-ribofuranosides
摘要:
Candida antarctica B lipase (CAL-B) catalysed alcoholysis of a series of peracetylated alkyl alpha, beta-D-ribofuranosides was assayed. Methyl and ethyl 2,3-di-O-acetyl-alpha, beta-D-ribofuranosides enriched in the alpha-anomer were regioselectively prepared through this enzymatic deacetylation in 33% and 43% yield, respectively, the latter being a new compound. Isopropyl 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranoside gave the new isopropyl 2,3-di-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranoside in 24% yield. The anomeric substituent affects the regioselectivity of the reaction, since n-propyl and n-butyl alpha, beta-D-ribofuranosides reacted without selectivity.
Iodine-promoted ribosylation leads to a facile acetonide-forming reaction
摘要:
Iodine not only promotes smooth beta-selective glycosylation of ribose tetra-acetate under exceptionally mild conditions, it also catalyzes an expedient acetonide-forming reaction in this system when dry acetone is used as a solvent. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
