- Excited-State Palladium-Catalyzed 1,2-Spin-Center Shift Enables Selective C-2 Reduction, Deuteration, and Iodination of Carbohydrates
-
Excited-state catalysis, a process that involves one or more excited catalytic species, has emerged as a powerful tool in organic synthesis because it allows access to the excited-state reaction landscape for the discovery of novel chemical reactivity. Herein, we report the first excited-state palladium-catalyzed 1,2-spin-center shift reaction that enables site-selective functionalization of carbohydrates. The strategy features mild reaction conditions with high levels of regio- and stereoselectivity that tolerate a wide range of functional groups and complex molecular architectures. Mechanistic studies suggest a radical mechanism involving the formation of hybrid palladium species that undergoes a 1,2-spin-center shift followed by the reduction, deuteration, and iodination to afford functionalized 2-deoxy sugars. The new reactivity will provide a general approach for the rapid generation of natural and unnatural carbohydrates.

- Additive-controlled synthesis of 1- and 2-dexoysugars from thioglycosides
-
Two photoreactions for the synthesis of 1- and 2-deoxysugars from thioglycosides were developed. In the presence of Hantzsch ester as an additive, a wide range of 1-deoxysugars were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields under irradiation with UV light without an exogenous photosensitizer. On the other hand, the utilization of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylpyrimidine (TTBP) as the additive furnished a variety of 2-deoxysugars as the main products from their corresponding thioglycosides. The reported methodology has a broad substrate scope and high functional group tolerance and is scalable to gram-scale reaction.

- NaBH3CN and other systems as substitutes of tin and silicon hydrides in the light or heat-initiated reduction of halosugars: A tunable access to either 2-deoxy sugars or 1,5-anhydro-itols
-
UV light-promoted reduction of acetobromoglucose by NaBH3CN in t-BuOH afforded 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-d-arabino-hexopyranose in high yield and purity, via a Surzur-Tanner rearrangement, while, with 10 mol % thiophenol added, acetylated 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol was cleanly obtained. Such tin-free and mild reductions, presumed to proceed via radical pathways, were more efficient with NaBH3CN compared to NaBH4 or NaBD 4, and do not occur with acetochloroglucose. Similar reductions to 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-d-arabino-hexopyranose were achieved upon heating to 80 C t-BuOH or CH3CN solutions of NaBH3CN and AIBN, but with a lower selectivity due to competing ionic reactions. With other pyranosyl bromides, reductions by NaBH3CN could be tuned similarly (d-galacto), but some (d-manno, 5-thio-d-xylo) gave mainly or exclusively 1,5-anhydro-itols. Other conditions, or reagents promoting SET process, afforded also reduced products, but with lower rates or selectivities. Primary iodides were reduced readily with NaBH3CN under UV light.

- Deoxygenation of carbohydrates by thiol-catalysed radical-chain redox rearrangement of the derived benzylidene acetals
-
Five- or six-membered cyclic benzylidene acetals, derived from 1,2- or 1,3-diol functionality in carbohydrates, undergo an efficient thiol-catalysed radical-chain redox rearrangement resulting in deoxygenation at one of the diol termini and formation of a benzoate ester function at the other. The role of the thiol is to act as a protic polarity-reversal catalyst to promote the overall abstraction of the acetal hydrogen atom by a nucleophilic alkyl radical. The redox rearrangement is carried out in refluxing octane and/or chlorobenzene as solvent at ca. 130°C and is initiated by thermal decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) or 2,2-bis(tert-butylperoxy)butane. The silanethiols (ButO)3SiSH and Pr3iSiSH (TIPST) are particularly efficient catalysts and the use of DTBP in conjunction with TIPST is generally the most effective and convenient combination. The reaction has been applied to the monodeoxygenation of a variety of monosaccharides by way of 1,2-, 3,4- and 4,6-O-benzylidene pyranoses and a 5,6-O-benzylidene furanose. It has also been applied to bring about the dideoxygenation of mannose and of the disaccharide α,α-trehalose. The use of p-methoxybenzylidene acetals offers no great advantage and ethylene acetals do not undergo significant redox rearrangement under similar conditions. Functional group compatibility is good and tosylate, epoxide and ketone functions do not interfere; it is not necessary to protect free OH groups. Because of the different mechanisms of the ring-opening step (homolytic versus heterolytic), the regioselectivity of the redox rearrangement can differ usefully from that resulting from the Hanessian-Hullar (H.-H.) and Collins reactions for brominative ring opening of benzylidene acetals. When simple deoxygenation of a carbohydrate is desired, the one-pot redox rearrangement offers an advantage over H.-H./Collins-based procedures in that the reductive debromination step (which often involves the use of toxic tin hydrides) required by the latter methodology is avoided.
