We present a novel concept for the in situ control of site-selectivity of catalytic acetylations of partially protected sugars using light as external stimulus and oligopeptide catalysts equipped with an azobenzene moiety. The isomerizable azobenzene-peptide backbone defines the size and shape of the catalytic pocket, while the π-methyl-l-histidine (Pmh) moiety transfers the electrophile. Photoisomerization of the E- to the Z-azobenzene catalyst (monitored via NMR) with an LED (λ = 365 nm) drastically changes the chemical environment around the catalytically active Pmh moiety, so that the light-induced change in the catalyst shape alters site-selectivity. As a proof of principle, we employed (4,6-O-benzylidene)methyl-α-d-pyranosides, which provide a change in regioselectivity from 2:1 (E) to 1:5 (Z) for the monoacetylated products at room temperature. The validity of this new catalyst-design concept is further demonstrated with the regioselective acetylation of the natural product quercetin. In situ irradiation NMR spectroscopy was used to quantify photostationary states under continuous irradiation with UV light.

The 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN)-catalyzed regioselective acylation of carbohydrates and diols in ethyl acetate has been developed. The hydroxyl groups can be selectively acylated by the corresponding anhydride in EtOAc in the presence of a catalytic amount (as low as 0.1 equiv.) of DBN at room temperature to 40 °C. This method avoids metal catalysts and toxic solvents, which makes it comparatively green and mild, and it uses less organic base compared with other selective acylation methods. Mechanism studies indicated that DBN could catalyze the selective acylation of hydroxyl moieties through a dual H-bonding interaction.

A diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA)-triggered, self-catalyzed, regioselective acylation of carbohydrates and diols is presented. The hydroxyl groups can be acylated by the corresponding anhydride in MeCN in the presence of a catalytic amount of DIPEA. This method is comparatively green and mild as it uses less organic base compared with other selective acylation methods. Mechanistic studies indicate that DIPEA reacts with the anhydride to form a carboxylate ion, and then the carboxylate ion could catalyze the selective acylation through a dual H-bonding interaction.

A concept for site selective acylation of poly-hydroxylated substrates is presented where polymer-supported catalysts are employed: catalytically active DMAP units were combined with a library of small molecule peptides attached to the solid phase with the goal to identify substrate-optimized catalysts through library screening. For selected examples, we demonstrate how the optimized catalysts can convert “their” substrate with a markedly enhanced site-selectivity, compared to only DMAP. Due to the solid support, product purification is significantly simplified, and the peptidic catalysts can be easily reused in multiple cycles while conserving its efficiency.
Enhanced basicity of Ag2O by coordination to soft anions

In Ag2O-mediated benzylation, the addition of a catalytic amount of KI can greatly improve reactivity. This is usually attributed to the formation of a more reactive iodo-substituted electrophile. However, our studies show this to be due to the enhanced basicity of Ag2O through coordination of soft iodide anions to the silver atom, and show KI to be an initiator. A catalytic amount of Ag2O and NaBr can catalyze transesterification reactions, indicating the enhanced basicity of Ag2O by bromide. We believe that this is a general effect for metal oxides and soft anions, applicable to a wider range of organic reaction systems. All your base belongs to us: In Ag2O-mediated benzylation, the addition of a catalytic amount of KI can greatly improve reactivity. Our studies show this to be attributable to the enhanced basicity of Ag2O through coordination of soft iodide anions to the silver atom, and show KI to be an initiator. Thus, NaBr as an initiator combined with Ag2O has been successfully used to catalyze transesterification reactions.
Monoacetylation of carbohydrate diols via transesterification with ethyl acetate
Liu, Xuyu,Becker, Bernd,Cooper, Matthew A.
, p. 679 - 683 (2014/05/06)
Monoacetylation of secondary diols in protected monosaccharides was achieved with ethyl acetate as acyl donor and sodium tert-butoxide as a base. The regioseletivity of the reaction varied depending on the substrate. This new method provides a simple, fast, and efficient method to access selectively acetylated carbohydrates that is compatible with acid-sensitive protecting groups. CSIRO 2014.

Catalyst-controlled regioselective functionalization of partially protected saccharide molecules is a highly important yet under-developed area of carbohydrate chemistry. Such reactions allow for the reduction of protecting group manipulation steps required in syntheses involving sugars. Herein, an approach to these processes using enantiopure copper-bis(oxazoline) catalysts to control couplings of electrophiles to various partially protected sugars is reported. In a number of cases, divergent regioselectivity was observed as a function of the enantiomer of catalyst that is used.

H-bonding activation in the regioselective acetylation of vicinal and 1,3-diols is presented. Herein, the acetylation of the hydroxyl group with acetic anhydride can be activated by the formation of H-bonds between the hydroxyl group and anions. The reaction exhibits high regioselectivity when a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium acetate is employed. Mechanistic studies indicated that acetate anion forms dual H-bonding complexes with the diol, which facilitates the subsequent regioselective monoacetylation.

We report an improved method for the selective deprotection of the N-phenylcarbamoyl group, which yields the corresponding alcohol without affecting other protecting groups. Deprotection was performed using di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and tetra-n-butylammon

Organosilicon-mediated, regioselective acetylation of vicinal- and 1,3-diols is presented. Methyl trimethoxysilane or dimethyl dimethoxysilane was first used to form cyclic 1,3,2-dioxasilolane or 1,3,2-dioxasilinane intermediates, and subsequent acetate-c
