Exploring the synthetic potency of the first furanothioglycoligase through original remote activation

Thioglycosidic bonds are of utmost importance in biomolecules as their incorporation led to more stable glycomimetics with potential drug activities. Until now only chemical methods were available for their incorporation into glycofuranosyl conjugates. Herein, we wish to describe the use of the first furanothioglycoligase for the preparation of a great variety of thioaryl derivatives with moderate to excellent yields. Of great interest, a stable 1-thioimidoyl arabinofuranose, classically used in chemical glycosylation, was able to efficiently act as a donor through an original enzymatic remote activation mechanism. Study of the chemical structure as well as the nucleophilicity of the thiol allowed us to optimize this biocatalyzed process. As a consequence, this mutated enzyme constitutes an original, mild and eco-friendly method of thioligation. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.

The thio-Mitsunobu reaction: A useful tool for the preparation of 2,5-anhydro-2-thio- and 3,5-anhydro-3-thiopentofuranosides

The unprotected methyl L-arabinofuranosides, D-ribofuranosides and D-xylofuranosides are transformed into the corresponding S-acetyl-5-thio derivatives by the thio-Mitsunobu reaction. Mesylation and subsequent reaction with sodium hydrogen carbonate led, depending on the configuration of the intermediate, to 2,5-anhydro-2-thio- or 3,5-anhydro-3-thiopentofuranosides. Due to inversion at C-3 or C-2 during the intramolecular nucleophilic displacement the products exhibit L-lyxo-, D-arabino- or D-lyxo-configuration. Analogously, the methyl 2,3-anhydro-D-ribofuranosides yielded 5-thio-S-acetates with intact 2,3-oxirane groups, which were cyclised with sodium hydrogen carbonate by epoxide ring opening and concomitant ring closure to form exclusively 3,5-anhydro-3-thio-D-xylofuranosides. A related 3,5-anhydro-3-seleno-D- lyxofuranoside was obtained by reaction of a 3,5-di-O-mesyl-D-arabinofuranoside with sodium hydrogen selenide. Several X-ray diffraction analyses proved the structures of the products.

Preparation of methyl 2,3-anhydro- and 2,3-o-sulfinylfuranosides from unprotected furanosides using the Mitsunobu reaction

A new two step procedure for the synthesis of methyl 2,3-anhydro-α-D-lyxofuranoside and methyl 2,3-anhydro-β-D-ribofuranoside from D-xylose involving the intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction is presented. Likewise, methyl 2,3-anhydro-α-L-lyxofuranoside is obtained from L-arabinose. Cyclic sulfites with D-ribo configuration, synthetic equivalents of the corresponding anhydrosugars, are prepared in three steps from D-ribose.
