An amide orthoesterification route to N-(1′-alkylthioglucopyranosyl)indoles
摘要:
The addition of 3-methylindolylmagnesium bromide to tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-gluconothionolactone yields the expected indole N-gluconothioamide as its hemiorthothioamide tautomer. The thiol function is alkylated to yield the corresponding orthothioamide, a l'-alkylthio-substituted N-glycoside. Alternatively, the l'-alkylthio-N-glycoside can be accessed from the corresponding indole N-gluconamide via a boron trifluoride-etherate mediated orthoesterification with ethanethiol. Radical reduction of the orthothioamide yields the N-glycosides in 2:1 stereoselectivity in favor of the beta-N-glycoside, while reduction via the oxonium ion leads to an improved 6:1 selectivity.

Indolyl N-glycoside analogs were obtained by a two-step sequence via indole N-thioamides. Treatment of thionobutyrolactone with indolylmagnesium bromide provides the corresponding indole N-thioamide. The use of 10:1 toluene:THF as solvent is important in favoring N- over C3-acylation. Treatment of the omega-hydroxythioamide with 2 equiv of Meerwein's reagent followed by sodium borohydride gives the corresponding N-(tetrahydrofuranyl)indole. Addition of carbon nucleophiles gives access to ketose nucleoside analogs, while activation of the omega-hydroxyl group can give access to tetrahydrothiophene N-glycosides.
