- Glycosyl nitrates in synthesis: Streamlined access to glucopyranose building blocks differentiated at C-2
-
In an attempt to refine a CAN-mediated synthesis of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranose (2-OH glucose) we unexpectedly discovered that this reaction proceeds via the intermediacy of glycosyl nitrates. Improved mechanistic understanding of this reaction led to the development of a more versatile synthesis of 2-OH glucose from a variety of precursors. Also demonstrated is the conversion of 2-OH glucose into a variety of building blocks differentially protected at C-2, a position that is generally hard to protect regioselectively in the glucopyranose series.

- Carbohydrate Homologation by the Use of 2-(Trimethylsilyl)thiazole. Preparative Scale Synthesis of Rare Sugars: L-Gulose, L-Idose, and the Disaccharide Subunit of Bleomycin A2
-
The well established one-carbon homologation method of protected monosaccharides employing 2-(trimethylsilyl)thiazole (2-TST) as a formyl anion equivalent has been used for high yield and multigram scale synthesis of the title rare hexoses from L-xylose. Thus, L-gulose has been obtained by stereoselective anti-addition of 2-TST to aldehydo-L-xylose diacetonide followed by thiazole to formyl conversion of the resulting alcohol. The inversion of configuration at C-1 of this alcohol by an oxidation - reduction sequence prior to the aldehyde releasing from thiazole led to L-idose. The same alcohol was readily elaborated into 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-L-gulopyranose whose highly stereoselective glycosidation coupling with 3-O-carbamoyl-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-mannosyl diethyl phosphate afforded the same peracetylated disaccharide subunit employed by Boger and Honda in the total synthesis of the antibiotic bleomycin A2.
