The regioselective functionalization of monosaccharides is notoriously achieved using metal catalysis, lengthy synthetic strategies requiring protection/deprotection, various enzymes, or other methods that target cis-diols (and thus cannot be used with glucopyranose derivatives), In this paper, we report a new method using selected boronic acids as temporary protecting groups, and describe its application to the regioselective functionalization of methyl α-d-glucopyranoside, the most difficult monosaccharide to functionalize regioselectively. Generally, reactions of glucopyranosides may lead to a plethora of mono- and polyfunctionalized derivatives, yet our method gave the 3-O-acetylated, 2-O-benzoylated, and 2-O-pivaloylated derivatives of methyl α-d-glucopyranoside as major products. We focused on the use of recyclable and green temporary protecting groups (in a one-pot reaction) and on the modulation of the intramolecular hydrogen-bonding network using selected arylboronic acids. A complete scalable procedure leading to a single regioisomer from unprotected methyl α-d-glucopyranoside is presented.

The esterase from Rhodosporidium toruloides has been used to catalyse the hydrolysis of a series of per-acetylated α-D-hexopyranoses and α-D-hexopyranosides. Per-acetylated glucose 4, mannose 6, N-acetylgalactosamine 8, galactose 10, methyl α-D-glucoside 12, methyl α-D-mannoside 14 and methyl α-D-galactoside 16 have been selectively cleaved at the C-6 position by the esterase to give the 6-OH derivatives 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17. Acid-catalysed rearrangement of acetates 5, 7, 13, 15, 11, 17 and 9 with 4→6 acetyl migration gives the corresponding 4-deprotected derivatives 22-28, respectively. Hydrolyses of β-D-glucose pentaacetate 20 and α-D-lactose octaacetate 21 have been attempted, but no hydrolyses have been observed. 1,2,3,6-TetraacyIated α-D-hexopyranoses 3 and 22, derivatives of N-acetylglucosamine and glucose respectively, and 2,3,6-triacetylated α-D-hexopyranosides 24 and 25, derivatives of glucose and mannose, respectively, have been hydrolysed by the esterase to the corresponding 4,6-dihydroxy acetates 29, 18, 30 and 31. Acylation of methyl α-D-glucopyranoside 32 catalysed by the esterase provides the C-6 monoacetate 33 and the C-3 monoacetate 34 in 4 and 5% yield, respectively. The sodium salts of N-acetylglucosamine, glucose, N-acetylgalactosamine, galactose and mannose 6-sulfates 38-42, respectively, are prepared in two steps from the 6-deacetylated hexopyranoses 2, 5, 9, 11 and 7, respectively. The sodium salts of N-acetylglucosamine, glucose and mannose 4-sulfates 43-45, respectively, are prepared in two steps from the 4-deacetylated precursors 3, 22 and 26 which are obtained via acid catalysed 4→6 acyl migration of compounds 2, 5 and 7.
