Regenerative Glycosylation

Previously, we communicated 3,3-difluoroxindole (HOFox)-mediated glycosylations wherein 3,3-difluoro-3H-indol-2-yl (OFox) imidates were found to be key intermediates. Both the in situ synthesis from the corresponding glycosyl bromides and activation of the OFox imidates could be conducted in a regenerative fashion. Herein, we extend this study to the synthesis of various glycosidic linkages using different sugar series. The main outcome of this study relates to enhanced yields and/or reduced reaction times of glycosylations. The effect of HOFox-mediated reactions is particularly pronounced in case of unreactive glycosyl donors and/or glycosyl acceptors. A multistep regenerative synthesis of oligosaccharides is also reported.

Investigation of Glycosyl Nitrates as Building Blocks for Chemical Glycosylation

Glycosyl nitrates are important synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of 2-amino sugars, 1,2-orthoesters or, more recently, 2-OH glucose. However, glycosyl nitrates have never been glycosidated. Presented herein is our first attempt to use glycosyl nitrates as glycosyl donors for O-glycosylation. Lanthanide triflates showed good affinity to activate the nitrate leaving group.

On the stereoselectivity of glycosidation of thiocyanates, thioimidates, and thioglycosides

Comparative side-by-side glycosylation studies demonstrated that glycosyl thiocyanates, thioimidates, and thioglycosides provide comparative stereoselectivities in glycosylations. Very high α-stereoselectivity that was previously recorded for glycosyl thiocyanates can be achieved, but only if glycosyl acceptors are equipped with electron-withdrawing acyl substituents. Partially benzylated glycosyl acceptors provided relatively modest stereoselectivity, which was on a par with other common glycosyl donors. Accordingly, thioimidates and thioglycosides showed high stereoselectivity similarly to that of thiocyanates with different classes of acylated primary and secondary glycosyl acceptors.
