Efficient one-pot per-: O -acetylation-thioglycosidation of native sugars, 4,6- O -arylidenation and one-pot 4,6- O -benzylidenation-acetylation of S -/ O -glycosides catalyzed by Mg(OTf)2

A sequential one-pot per-O-acetylation-S-/O-glycosidation of native mono and disaccharides under solvent free conditions using 0.5 mole% of Mg(OTf)2 as a non-hygroscopic, recyclable catalyst is reported. Regioselective 4,6-O-arylidenation of glycosides and thioglycosides with benzaldehyde or p-methoxybenzaldehyde dimethyl acetal is catalyzed by 10 mole% of Mg(OTf)2 to produce the corresponding 4,6-O-arylidenated product in high yields. Mg(OTf)2 can also mediate sequential one-pot benzylidenation-acetylation of mono and disaccharide based glycosides and thioglycosides in high yield.

Convergent synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the O-antigen of Shigella boydii type 9

A convenient synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the O-antigen of Shigella boydii type 9 has been achieved in excellent yield using a [2 + 2] block glycosylation strategy. TEMPO-mediated selective oxidation of the primary alcohol of the tet

FeCl3 mediated arylidenation of carbohydrates

Glycosides and thioglycosides based on monosaccharides in reaction with benzaldehyde dimethylacetal or p-methoxybenzaldehyde dimethyl acetal undergo FeCl3-catalyzed (20 mol %) regioselective 4,6-O-arylidenation producing the corresponding acetals in high yields. FeCl3 also mediates acetalation of glycosides and thioglycosides of cellobiose, maltose, and lactose affording the corresponding 4′,6′-O-benzylidene acetals, which were isolated after their acetylation in situ with acetic anhydride and pyridine. The combined yields (two steps) of these final products are also high (61-84%). The procedure is applicable to a wide variety of functional groups including -OBn.
