Diaminohexopyranosides as ligands in half-sandwich ruthenium(II), rhodium(III), and iridium(III) complexes

The syntheses of methyl 2,3-diamino-4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-α-d-hexopyranosides of glucose, mannose, gulose, and talose and methyl 2-amino-4,6-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-3-tosylamido-α-d-glucopyranoside are exhaustively presented, as well as their application as ligands in half-sandwich ruthenium(II), rhodium(III), and iridium(III) complexes. The complex formation occurs highly diastereoselectively, creating a stereogenic metal center. The molecular structures of the ligands and their complexes were investigated by X-ray structure analysis, NMR spectroscopy, polarimetry, and DFT methods. The diamino monosaccharide complexes have been subjected to antitumor activity studies. In vitro tests of a few ruthenium complexes against different cancer cell types showed antiproliferative activities 4-10 times lower than that of cisplatin.

A scalable approach to obtaining orthogonally protected β-d-idopyranosides

A practical method to obtain orthogonally protected d-idopyranose from d-galactose has been developed, which is the first method to enable synthesis of the challenging β-d-idopyranoside linkage. The method relies on a key double inversion at O-2 and O-3 in an easily prepared d-galactose derivative, which proceeds regio- and stereoselectively through a 2,3-anhydrotalopyranoside; reaction using a selection of alkoxides affords exclusively the 3-O-alkylidopyranoside, which can be used to generate an orthogonally protected monosaccharide. The process is scalable and requires minimal purification, so it could be used to produce building blocks to aid in the synthesis of various β-idopyranose-containing oligosaccharide targets to further probe their biological functions.
