REACTION OF GLYCOSYL HALIDES WITH BENZYL GRIGNARD REAGENTS: UNEXPECTED o-TOLYL ALKYLATION OF TETRA-O-ACETYLGLUCOPYRANOSYL BROMIDE AND DIRECT SYNTHESIS OF (β-GLYCOSYL)PHENYLMETHANES

The synthesis of (β-glycosyl)phenylmethanes by Grignard alkylation of glycosyl halides is investigated.Reaction of tetra-O-acetylglucopyranosyl bromide with benzylmagnesium chloride gave a good yield of a 3:1 mixture of 2-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)toluene and (β-glucosyl)phenylmethane.The requirement for an equatorial 2-acetoxy group and 6-acetoxymethyl group for the formation of the unexpected o-tolyl rearrangement product is explored by using xylosyl, mannosyl, and 2-deoxyglucosyl halides as substrates for the alkylation.Synthesis of (β-glucosyl)phenylmethane by alkylation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzylglucosyl bromide with benzylmagnesium chloride is also presented.
