O,O-DIALKYLPHOSPHOROSELENOIC ACIDS AS FUNCTIONALISING REAGENTS OF MONOSACCHARIDES-III A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF UNSATURATED SUGARS BY DEOXYGENATION OF SUGAR EPOXIDES WITH DIALKYLPHOSPHOROSELENOIC ACIDS

Sugar epoxides are transformed in almost quantitative yields, under mild reaction conditions, into their corresponding unsaturated monosaccharides by reaction with O,O-dialkylphosphoroselenoic acids salts.A mechanism involving the formation of a penta-coordinate phosphorus intermediate is proposed. The deoxygenation was performed with the following sugar epoxides: 5,6-anhydro-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose (1), 5,6-anhydro-1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-α-D-glucofuranose (2), methyl-2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-allopyranoside (3), methyl-2,3-anhydro-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-mannopyranoside (4) and 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-α-D-glucopyranose (Brigl's anhydride) (5).
