Selective galectin inhibitors are valuable research tools and could also be used as drug candidates. In that context, TD139, a thiodigalactoside galectin-3 inhibitor, is currently being evaluated clinically for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Herein, we describe a new strategy for the preparation of TD139. Starting from inexpensive levoglucosan, we used a rarely employed reaction cascade: Payne rearrangement/azidation process leading to 3-azido-galactopyranose. The latter intermediate was efficiently converted into TD139 in a few simple and practical steps.

In this work, we synthesized all mono-, di-, and trifluorinated glucopyranose analogues at positions C-2, C-3, C-4, and C-6. This systematic investigation allowed us to perform direct comparison of 19F resonances of fluorinated glucose analogues and also to determine their lipophilicities. Compounds with a fluorine atom at C-6 are usually the most hydrophilic, whereas those with vicinal polyfluorinated motifs are the most lipophilic. Finally, the solvation energies of fluorinated glucose analogues were assessed for the first time by using density functional theory. This method allowed the log P prediction of fluoroglucose analogues, which was comparable to the C log P values obtained from various web-based programs.

There is a growing interest in the preparation of polyfluorinated carbohydrates. A limited number of fluorohexopyranosides have been used in biological investigations because of the synthetic challenge they present. Hence, we report the synthesis of fluor
1H NMR STUDY OF 1,6-ANHYDRO-β-D-GLUCOPYRANOSE TOSYLATED AT 2- AND/OR 4-POSITION

The 1H nmr spectra of 1,6-anhydro-2-O-tosyl-, 1,6-anhydro-4-O-tosyl and 1,6-anhydro-2,4-di-O-tosyl-β-D-glucopyranose have been analyzed.The data allow to discriminate between the two monosubstituted levoglucosans.
