A method for introducing dimethylphenylsilyl at the 4-position in carbohydrates has been developed. Two C-silylated glycosyl donors were prepared via levoglucosenone, starting from cellulose. The glycosylation properties were studied using three glucoside

The ligand HCNNOMe (6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-aminomethylpyridine) is easily prepared from the commercially available 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine-2-carbaldehyde by the reaction of hydroxylamine and hydrogenation (H2, 1 atm) with Pd/C. The pincer complexes cis-[RuCl(CNNOMe)(PPh3)2] (1) and [RuCl(CNNOMe)(PP)] (PP = dppb, 2; and dppf, 3) are synthesized from [RuCl2(PPh3)3], HCNNOMe and PP (for 2 and 3) in 2-propanol with NEt3 at reflux and are isolated in 85-93% yield. Carbonylation of 1 (CO, 1 atm) gives [RuCl(CNNOMe)(CO)(PPh3)] (4) (79% yield) which cleanly reacts with Na[BArf4] and PCy3, affording the cationic trans-[Ru(CNNOMe)(CO)(PCy3)(PPh3)][BArf4] (5) (92% yield). These robust pincer complexes display remarkably high catalytic activity in the transfer hydrogenation (TH) of lignocellulosic biomass carbonyl compounds, using 2-propanol at reflux in a basic medium (NaOiPr or K2CO3). Thus, furfural, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural and Cyrene are reduced to the corresponding alcohols with 2 and 3, at S/C in the range of 10 000-100 000, within minutes or hours (TOF up to 1 500 000 h-1). The monocarbonyl complex 5 was found to be extremely active in the TH of cinnamaldehyde, vanillin derivatives and ethyl levulinate at S/C in the range of 10 000-50 000. Vanillyl alcohol is also obtained by the TH of vanillin with 5 (S/C = 500) in 2-propanol in the presence of K2CO3.

Diastereomerically pure levoglucosenone alcohol, synthesized from levoglucosenone, upon hydrogenation on Raney Ni or Pd/BaSO4 undergoes epimerization at C2 atom caused by formation of cyrene by-product and its subsequent non-specific

Levoglucosanol (LGOL) is a critical intermediate for the bio-based production of hexane-1,2,5,6-tetrol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, and 1,6-hexanediol. Here we report on the aqueous-phase hydrogenation of cellulose-derived dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene) to LGOL using a calcined and reduced heterogeneous copper/hydrotalcite/mixed oxide catalyst, denoted as Cu8/MgAlOx-HP. The turnover frequency for LGOL conversion over this copper-containing catalyst is equal to 0.013 s-1 at 353 K as measured in a flow reactor which is half the one obtained using 0.4 wt% Pd/Al2O3. Moreover, while Cu8/MgAlOx-HP shows a stable activity, the activity of 0.4 wt% Pd/Al2O3 decreases with time-on-stream. Neither Cu-nor Al-leaching is observed (resp. 2O mixture (pH 3.5-4.5 range), which is due to the occurrence of the geminal diol moiety of Cyrene, an acidic species. In contrast, additional and consecutive oxidation and reduction of the catalyst leads to a gradual decrease in activity over time. Applying still further oxidation/reduction cycles to this catalyst tends to decrease its activity with some overall stabilization being observed from the fourth run onwards. Mg-leaching is shown to change the relative meso-to-macro pore content, but leaves the total pore volume unchanged between the fresh and the spent catalyst. In spite of the high copper loading (8 wt%), small Cu-nanoparticles (2-3 nm) are present over the hydrotalcite/mixed oxide surface of the Cu8/MgAlOx-HP material, and these particles do not aggregate during the hydrogenation reaction.

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] A series of derivatives were synthesized on the basis of levoglucosenone that contained hydroxy groups at the С-4 atom or С-2 and С-4 atoms or a hydroxy and methyl group at the С-4 atom. In addition, 4-hydroxymethylbutanolides were synthesized. Derivatives containing hydroxy groups were obtained as methylsulfanylmethyl ethers. It was established that compounds containing a 6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]-octane ring exhibited fungicidal activity against Rhizoctonia solani. It was shown that the presence of a methylsulfanylmethyl moiety in the ring could increase the fungicidal activity of compounds.

We have studied the hydrogenation of levoglucosenone (LGO) to dihydrolevoglucosenone (Cyrene), levoglucosanol (Lgol), and tetrahydrofurandimethanol (THFDM) and elucidated the reaction network over supported palladium catalysts. At low temperature (40 °C) over a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst, LGO is selectively hydrogenated to Cyrene. At intermediate temperatures (100 °C) over a Pd/Al2O3 catalyst, Cyrene is selectively hydrogenated to Lgol, with an excess of the exo-Lgol isomer produced over the endo-Lgol isomer. At higher temperatures (150 °C) over a bifunctional Pd/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst, Lgol is converted to THFDM in 58% selectivity, with 78% overall selectivity to 1,6-hexanediol precursors. The ratio of cis-THFDM relative to trans-THFDM is approximately 2.5, and this ratio is independent of the Lgol feed stereoisomer ratio. Tetrahydropyran-2-methanol-5-ketone (THP2M5one) and tetrahydropyran-2-methanol-5-hydroxyl (THP2M5H) are side-products of Lgol hydrogenolysis, but neither of these species are precursors to THFDM.

A synthesis of two diprotected (4S,6S)-4-hydroxy-6-hudroxymethyltetrahydropyran-2-ones has been developed from laevoglucosan.Reaction of these lactones with a substituted chiral lithium acetylide followed by hydrogenation and acid-catalysed cyclisation led to formation of the spiroacetal moiety of milbemycin α1 and α3.The acetylene was prepared by resolution of racemic material obtained from reaction of lithium acetylide and cis-butene epoxide.Alternatively a stereocontrolled synthesis was developed from (S)-methyl-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate which involved 'chelation controlled' addition of lithium dimethylcuprate to the corresponding tetrahydropyranyloxy aldehyde.
