Synthesis of galactofuranose-containing disaccharides using thioimidoyl-type donors
摘要:
Four galactofuranose-containing disaccharides have been prepared utilising various thioimidates [Galf-SC(=NR)XR'] and suitably protected acceptors as key precursors. We observed that the efficiency of the coupling reactions was particularly dependent on the aglycon present on the furanosyl donor when copper(II) ions were used as the promoter, and that activation could be correlated with the nature of the third heteroatorn, X.

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.
