Abstract
–
The observation of convertible formation between
2-deoxy-2-iodo-O-glycosides and 2,3-unsaturated glycoside was described. The
selective formation of 2-deoxy-2-iodo-O-glycosides was found from the reaction
of D-glucal with iodine in the excess alcohol acceptor or the addition of ceric
ammonium nitrate as additive while the addition of a stoichiometric amount of
alcohol in solvent favored 2,3-unsaturated glycosides formation.
INTRODUCTION
Development a new and convenient method for glycosylation is one of the most fundamental research
targets in carbohydrate chemistry.1 Until now, much attention has been paid to the glycosylation of
D-glucal with various nucleophiles leading to 2,3-unsaturated glycoside by Ferrier reactions2 whereas the
synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-haloglycoside is still limited.
Recently, the haloglycoside, especially
2-deoxy-2-iodoglycosides have been used as imaging agent DIG (2-deoxy-2-iodo-D-glucose) in the
radiopharmaceutical3 area and proven to be versatile precursor for the synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosides4,5
which are important structure components in many biological active compounds.6 The synthesis of
these glycosides have been reported by glycosylation of glucals and nucleophiles using I+ equivalent
reagents such as iodonium-sym-collidine perchlorate,7 N-iodosuccinimide,8 hypervalent iodine,9
polymer-supported iodate reagent,10 NaI/CAN/HOAc11 and recently NH4I/H2O2/Ac2O.12 In our study
on glycosylation reaction, we found that iodine can be used as catalyst to produce
acetylene-C-glycoside.13 Since iodine14 is an inexpensive, commercial available, efficient, and
environmentally benign reagent, it was recently used by Yadav15 and Koreeda16 to produce
2,3-unsaturated glycoside via Ferrier mechanism. In the course of developing new glycosylation method

using versatile reagent, we investigated the reaction of D-glucal and acceptor alcohols with iodine as a
promoter and found to our surprise that different reaction conditions predominantly led to the formation
of different glycosides.
Herein, we reported the observation of selective synthesis of
2-deoxy-2-iodoglycoside from D-glucal using iodine in the excess of alcohol acceptor or addition of
additive whereas the addition of a stoichiometric amount of alcohol in dichloromethane or acetonitrile
favored Ferrier rearrangement leading to the selective formation of 2,3-unsaturated glycosides (Scheme
1).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
During investigation reaction of D-glucal using modified Koreeda’s method which was performed by
conducting the reaction in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of iodine and alcohol in CH2Cl2, we
found that -anomer of 2,3-unsaturated-O-glycosides was isolated as the sole product in excellent yield
except in the case of hindered alcohol t-BuOH as shown in Table 1. There was no need to exclude air
and moisture form this reaction and the yield for glycoside 2 decreased when acetonitrile was replaced by
dichloromethane.

Keeping the iodine and solvent composition fixed, glycoside 2 was observed as a minor product in the
glycosylation using 10 eq. of ethanol. On the other hand, 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycoside was obtained as the
sole product instead of the expected glycoside 2, when we carried out the reaction with excess ethanol in
the absence of solvent. Encourage by this observation, conditions to effect the selective formation of
2-deoxy-2-iodoglycoside were further studied using ethanol as a model acceptor and the results are
summarized in Table 2. Treatment of D-glucal with iodine (1.5 eq.) for 6 h in excess ethanol produced
glycoside 3 in moderate yield (entry 1). The reaction was the most effective to promote optimum yield
when it was performed within 1 h under iodine 2.5 eq. providing 3 in 83% (entry 5). However, an
increase in reaction time decreased the yield of this transformation (entry 4). Based on these results, the
condition in entry 5 was chosen as a general procedure for selective synthesis of
2-deoxy-2-iodo-O-glycosides.

The study was extended by treatment of a series of alcohols as shown in Table 3. The selective
formation of 2-deoxy-2-iodo-O-glycosides was observed in all cases. The glycosylations of long chain
alcohols afforded the products in moderate yields (entries 3, 4, 5 and 6). The reactions proceeded more
efficient for the 2o-alcohols such as 2-propanol and 2-butanol and yielding the desired product in 91% as
14:1 and 17:1 / mixtures for entries 7 and 8. Glycosylation of hindered acceptor such as t-BuOH
afforded 12 only in -form (entry 9). Glycosylations with acetic anhydride (Ac2O) and water gave rise to
quantitative formation of 13 and 14 within 1 h (entries 10 and 11). This observation suggests that the
presence of excess alcohol retarded the Ferrier rearrangement which could be accelerated by the resulting
HI releasing from the reaction. HI was probably protonated by the excess of alcohol forming softer acid
which is not strong enough to promote the Ferrier reaction. Without the strong acid as HI, the reaction
can undergo smoothly through the cyclic iodonium bridge resulting in the formation of

can react with iodine to produce HI.

Isolated yields as diastereomeric mixtures and major product can be separated by column

d 2,3-unsaturated-O-glycosides were not observed.
The addition of CAN19 as additive can switch the formation to 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycosides as our
expectation (Scheme 2). A wide range of alcohols were suitable for this transformation producing
moderate to high yield with high stereoselectivity as shown in Table 4.
The combination of CAN with iodine to the glycosylation afforded the products with the yield rather
similar to the condition without CAN in excess acceptor alcohols (Tables 2 and 3, compounds 3, 9, 12,
and 13). The glycosylation was extended to a variety of benzyl alcohols and gave the glycoside adducts
in excellent yields (entries 7, 9, 10 and 11). Nevertheless, the reaction of methoxy-benzyl alcohol gave
the corresponding glycoside 19 in 58% yield (entry 8).

In conclusion, we have observed a simple, efficient and inexpensive method for convertible formation
between 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycosides and 2,3-unsaturated-glycoside by performing the glycosylation using
versatile reagent as iodine in different condition. The presence of excess alcohol or ceric ammonium
nitrate could be switched the formation of the desired products. This report provides a new and simple
method for the synthesis of the corresponding 2-deoxy-2-iodo-O-glycosides and the availability of these
DIG glycosides for medicinal studies.
EXPERIMENTAL
Proton NMR spectra were recorded on a BRUKER AVANC (400 MHz). All spectra were measured in
CDCl3 solvent and chemical shifts are reported as  values in ppm relative to tetramethylsilane ( 0.00) or
CDCl3 ( 7.26) as internal standard. Carbon NMR spectra were recorded on a BRUKER AVANC (100
MHz). High-resolution FAB mass spectra were obtained with a Finnigan MAT 95. Infrared spectra
were determined on a PERKIN ELMER FT/IR-2000S spectrophotometer and are reported in wave
number (cm-1). Optical rotation was determined with a JASCO P-1020 digital polarimeter.
General procedure for the synthesis of 2,3-unsaturated-O-glycosides
To a stirred solution of tri-O-acetoxy-D-glucal 1 (100 mg, 0.367 mmol) and alcohol (0.444 mmol) in
anhydrous CH2Cl2 (25.0 mL) was added iodine powder (140 mg, 0.558 mmol) in portion at room
temperature under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was continued the stirring at room temperature
for 3 h. The reaction was quenched with satd aq. Na2S2O3. The aqueous solution was extracted with
CH2Cl2 (3 x 20 mL) and the organic extract was washed with brine, dried over with anhydrous MgSO4,
and concentrated under vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give
2,3-unsaturated-O-glycosides.
General procedure for the synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycoside in the present of excess alcohol
To a stirred solution of tri-O-acetoxy-D-glucal 1 (100 mg, 0.367 mmol) in excess alcohol (1.0 mL) was
added 4 Ao MS (100 mg) under N2 atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min and then
added iodine powder (230 mg, 0.918 mmol) in portion at room temperature. When TLC showed the
complete conversion, the reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (20 mL) and quenched with satd aq. Na2S2O3
until color of iodine was disappeared. The aqueous solution was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 20 mL) and
the organic extract was washed with brine, dried over with anhydrous MgSO4, and concentrated under
vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to give 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycoside.
General procedure for synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-iodoglycoside in the present of CAN

mg, 0.250 mmol) and 4 Ao MS (150 mg) was dissolved in anhydrous MeCN (2.0 mL) under N2
atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then cooled to -25 oC.
