Synthesis and Raman spectra of 3-deoxy-α-l-rhamnosides as model sugars of the Ascaris egg shell
摘要:
The synthesis of two 3-deoxy-alpha-L-rhamnosides (i.e., 3,6-dideoxy-L-arabino-hexopyranosides) as models of ascaroside natural products is reported. The present approach is based on a Ferrier rearrangement from L-rhamnal, epoxidation of the resulting glycal and reductive opening of the isolated beta-epoxide. The 3-deoxy-alpha-rhamnoside linked to a long aglycone chain was used to ascertain by Raman vibrational spectroscopy the presence of this peculiar sugar in the inner shell of Ascaris eggs.

Glycals have served as excellent substrates in the glycosidation reactions with arylamines to construct both C-C and C-N linkages simultaneously. However, the high reactivity and moisture/alcohol-sensitivity is also responsible for several side reactions. Herein we reported that 2,3-unsaturated glycosides can be used as alternatives of glycals to take part in the corresponding glycosidation as well. Therefore, with 10% of InBr3 or InI3 as the catalyst, 2,3-unsaturated glycosides containing various C-1 alkoxy groups reacted with arylamines smoothly and produced the glycosidation products in moderate to good yields as a pair of diastereomers with variant diastereoselectivity.
