- Scope of the DMC mediated glycosylation of unprotected sugars with phenols in aqueous solution
-
Activation of reducing sugars in aqueous solution using 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC) and triethylamine in the presence of para-nitrophenol allows direct stereoselective conversion to the corresponding 1,2-Trans para-nitrophenyl glycosides without the need for any protecting groups. The reaction is applicable to sulfated and phosphorylated sugars, but not to ketoses or uronic acids or their derivatives. When applied to other phenols the product yield was found to depend on the pKa of the added phenol, and the process was less widely applicable to 2-Acetamido sugars. For 2-Acetamido substrates an alternative procedure in which the glycosyl oxazoline was pre-formed, the reaction mixture freeze-dried, and the crude product then reacted with an added phenol in a polar aprotic solvent system with microwave irradiation proved to be a useful simplification.

- The use of the o-nitrophenyl group as a protecting/activating group for 2-acetamido-2-deoxyglucose
-
The o-nitrophenyl group, a protecting group with latent activation potential, was used as a protecting group for the glycosidic position. It is stable to common conditions used in synthesis and can be activated for displacement and glycoside formation by an alcohol, using zinc chloride as a catalyst. Good to excellent yields of β-glycosides of the important amino sugar N-acetylglucosamine were obtained. A mechanism for the reaction is proposed.
