The feedstocks from biomass are defined and limited by nature, but through the choice of catalyst, one may change the deoxygenation outcome. We report divergent but selective deoxygenation of sugars with triethylsilane (TESH) and two fluoroarylborane catalysts, B(C6F5)3 and B(3,5-CF3)2C6H3)3 (BAr3,5-CF3). To illustrate, persilylated 2-deoxyglucose shows exocyclic C-O bond cleavage/reduction with the less sterically congested BAr3,5-CF3, whereas endocyclic C-O bond cleavage/reduction predominates with the more Lewis acidic B(C6F5)3. Chiral furans and linear polyols can be selectively synthesized depending on the catalysts. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the resting states of these catalysts are different.

A practical two-step synthetic process for 1-deoxy sugars has been established. The process consists of the direct introduction of a dimethyldithiocarbamate group into the anomeric center of unprotected sugars and subsequent hydrogenation in the AIBN-H3PO2-NaHCO3 system. No protecting groups are needed to synthesize 1-deoxy monosaccharides and 1-deoxy disaccharides.

The total synthesis of neodysiherbaine A was achieved via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a chiral nitrone template with a sugar-derived allyl alcohol in the presence of MgBr2·OEt2. This cycloaddition constructed the C2 and C4 asymmetric centers in a single step. Then reductive cleavage, intramolecular SN2 reaction of the tertiary alcohol, and oxidation of the primary alcohol afforded neodysiherbaine A.

A practical, facile method was developed for the preparation of 1,5-anhydroalditol via per-O-TMS-glycopyranosyl iodide with LiBH4. A series of 1,5-anhydroalditols were prepared in excellent yields (up to 92%) from unprotected carbohydrates within 2 days under mild conditions. In addition, multi-gram scale preparation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), a major polyol present in human serum, was developed using the same procedure without the need for chromatographic purification.
A biophysical study with carbohydrate derivatives explains the molecular basis of monosaccharide selectivity of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin lecB

The rise of resistances against antibiotics in bacteria is a major threat for public health and demands the development of novel antibacterial therapies. Infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa are a severe problem for hospitalized patients and for patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. These bacteria can form biofilms and thereby increase their resistance towards antibiotics. The bacterial lectin LecB was shown to be necessary for biofilm formation and the inhibition with its carbohydrate ligands resulted in reduced amounts of biofilm. The natural ligands for LecB are glycosides of D-mannose and L-fucose, the latter displaying an unusual strong affinity. Interestingly, although mannosides are much weaker ligands for LecB, they do form an additional hydrogen bond with the protein in the crystal structure. To analyze the individual contributions of the methyl group in fucosides and the hydroxymethyl group in mannosides to the binding, we designed and synthesized derivatives of these saccharides.We report glycomimetic inhibitors that dissect the individual interactions of their saccharide precursors with LecB and give insight into the biophysics of binding by LecB. Furthermore, theoretical calculations supported by experimental thermodynamic data suggest a perturbed hydrogen bonding network for mannose derivatives as molecular basis for the selectivity of LecB for fucosides. Knowledge gained on the mode of interaction of LecB with its ligands at ambient conditions will be useful for future drug design.

Intramolecular dehydration of mannitol in high-temperature liquid water without adding any hazardous acid catalysts and its kinetic analyses were carried out. The dehydration behavior of mannitol was compared with that of sorbitol. 2,5-Anhydromannitol and 1,4-anhydromannitol were major products from the mannitol monomolecular dehydration in contrast with the only major product, 1,4-anhydrosorbitol, from the sorbitol monomolecular dehydration.

, p. 77 - 84 (2013/07/26)
A practical process for the preparation of anhydroalditols from commodity carbohydrates has been described. Reductive cleavage of the glycosidic linkage in perallylated carbohydrates with triethylsilane gave the protected anhydroalditols, which were then deallylated using a PdCl2-CuCl2-Activated Charcoal system. Valuable anhydroalditols, such as 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol, 1,5-anhydro-D-mannitol, 2,5-anhydro-D-glucitol, 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol and 1,4-anhydro-Dribitol, were prepared in high yields and purity from carbohydrates, such as glucose, mannose, ribose, sucrose, cellulose, starch and levan.

Bicyclic amino acids are useful building blocks in synthesizing biologically active molecules and peptidomimetics. 2-Carboxy-6-hydroxyloctahydroindole (Choi) is a novel bicyclic amino acid found in the marine natural products aeruginosins. Many compounds in the aeruginosin family exhibit inhibition activities toward serine proteases including thrombin and trypsin. The unique Choi structure is the common feature of this family of oligopeptides and this motif is important for their observed biological activities. To better understand the influence of the stereochemistry of the Choi core structure on the inhibition activities, we have previously synthesized ring-oxygenated variants from glucose. The preparation of octahydro-pyrano[3,2-b]pyrrole 2-carboxylic acids from d-mannose is reported here. These novel bicyclic amino acids can be used in the preparation of aeruginosin analogs, as well as conformationally constrained peptidomimetics or other biologically active molecules.

The oxidation of a range of cyclic allylic alcohols and amides with OsO4/TMEDA is presented. Under these conditions, hydrogen bonding control leads to the (contrasteric) formation of the syn isomer in almost every example that was examined. Evidence for the bidentate binding of TMEDA to OsO4 is presented and a plausible mechanism described.
