A novel, highly stereoselective intermolecular cycloaddition reaction of simple and enantiopure cyclic nitrones to glucose and galactose-derived 1,2-glycals offers a direct access to a new class of pseudoaza-C-disaccharides with isoxazolidine structure, potential glycosidase inhibitors. The synthesis of new (1-->2)-linked aza-disaccharides is accomplished by simple reductive ring-opening of the isoxazolidine. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Straightforward Synthesis of (1→2)-Linked Pseudo Aza-<i>C</i>-disaccharides by the Novel Cycloaddition of Enantiopure Cyclic Nitrones to Glycals
The novel, highly stereoselective, intermolecular cycloaddition reaction of enantiopure cyclic nitrones 8 to 1,2-glycals 9 opens the way to a straightforward synthesis of a broad class of new (1-->2)-linked pseudo aza-C-disaccharides 6, suitable substrates for selective inhibition of glycosidase enzymes. The cycloadditions occur with high stereocontrol, displaying preferential interaction between the
Remarkable High-pressure Enhancement of Enantiopure Nitrone Cycloadditions to Glycals: General Access to (1 → 2)-Linked Pseudo Aza-<i>C</i>-disaccharides
1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of enantiopure hydroxylated nitrones to glycals are strongly accelerated under high pressure. Under 10 Kbar pressure the process gains generality and broad scope and allows a direct access, in good to excellent yields, to stereodifferentiated tricyclic isoxazolidines, key intermediates for the synthesis of a new class of (1 → 2) linked pseudo aza-C-disaccharides.
