The First Synthesis of aRibo-Hexos-5-Ulose: the L-Enantiomer
摘要:
The title compound, previously unreported in either enantioform, and its 2,6-di-O-benzyl derivative have been synthesized through a stereocontrolled epimerization at C-2 of 6-O-protected methyl 3,4-O-isopropylidene-5-C-methoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosides The epimerization, performed through a high yielding sequence of oxidation-reduction owing to the cooperative role of the equatorial C-l aglycon and the steric hindrance of the isopropylidene group, turned out to be completely diastereoselective. Whereas the unprotected L-ribo-hexos-5-ulose exists, as proved by NMR in D2O, in five main tautomeric forms in a ratio of about 4:2:2:1:1, only two anomeric 1,4-furanosic forms are present at equilibrium in its 2,6-di-O-benzyl derivative, in ratios ranging from 10:1 to 7:3, depending on the prevalence of D2O or CD3CN in the solvent mixture.

The acetonation of methyl 5-C-methoxy-β-d-galactopyranoside1The nomenclature for these bis-glycosides is still somewhat ambiguous, since the introduction of a substituent at C-5, according to the Cahn, Ingold, Prelog rules, may invert its absolute configuration. We have preferred to use the Fischer nomenclature, since it is simpler and directly correlated with the name of the base compound, which undergoes a substitution of a hydrogen atom with a MeO group. This nomenclature has been previously used by us and by other authors, and is reported without change in Chemical Abstract. According to the more recent rules, the name would be methyl (5R)-5-methoxy-α-l-arabino-hexopyranoside.1 with 2,2-dimethoxypropane

Abstract The acetonation of methyl 5- C -methoxy- β - d -galactopyranoside ( 1a ), masked bis-glycoside form of l - arabino -hexos-5-ulose, with a large excess of 2,2-dimethoxypropane and catalytic amounts of p -toluenesulfonic acid gives a mixture of five acetonides. The most abundant isolated product was the mixed acetal methyl 6- O -(1–methoxy-1-methylethyl)-3,4- O -isopropylidene-5- C -methoxy-
