The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis of fine chemicals and sugar, and discloses a method for high selectivity acylation protection on hydroxyl through catalyzing by stannous chloride. The method comprises the steps of dissolv

This work reports stannous chloride (SnCl2)-catalyzed regio-/site-selective acylation with unusually broad substrate scope. In addition to 1,2- and 1,3-diols and glycosides containing cis-vicinal diol, the substrate scope also includes glycosides without cis-vicinal diol. For such a substrate scope, usually, only methods using stoichiometric amounts of organotin reagents can lead to the same protection pattern with high selectivities and highly isolated yields (84-97% in most cases). Therefore, SnCl2, as a low toxicity and extremely cheap reagent, should be the best catalyst for regio-/site-selective acylation compared with any previously reported reagents. This journal is

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.

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.

A highly efficient, green, and regioselective method for the benzylation of diols and polyols was developed. With the use of Ag2O (0.6 equiv.) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.1 equiv.) as co-catalysts, the iron(III)-catalyzed benzylation reaction proceeded to completion at 40 °C within 2–3 h and gave the products in high yields with high regioselectivities. A mechanism involving the principle of enhanced basicity of Ag2O by soft anions was proposed.

An efficient method for regioselective benzoylation of diols and polyols was developed. The benzoylation is catalyzed by only 0.2 equiv of benzoate anion in acetonitrile with the addition of a stoichiometric amount of benzoic anhydride under very mild condition, leading to high yields. Compared with all other methods, this method shows particular advantage in regioselective multiple benzoylation of polyols, and in avoiding the use of any metal-based catalysts and any amine bases, which is more environment-friendly.

The acylation of alcohols catalyzed by N,N-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) is, despite its widespread use, sometimes confronted with substrate-specific problems: For example, target compounds with multiple hydroxy groups may show insufficient selectivity for one hydroxyl, and the resulting product mixtures are hardly separable. Here we describe a concept that aims at tailor-made catalysts for the site-specific acylation. To this end, we introduce a catalyst library where each entry is constructed by connecting a variable and readily tuned peptide scaffold with a catalytically active unit based on DMAP. For selected examples, we demonstrate how library screening leads to the identification of optimized catalysts, and the substrates of interest can be converted with a markedly enhanced site-selectivity compared with only DMAP. Furthermore, substrate-optimized catalysts of this type can be used to selectively convert "their" substrate in the presence of structurally similar compounds, an important requisite for reactions with mixtures of substances. Substrate-optimized catalysts: Site- selective acylations were achieved using substrate-optimized catalysts (see scheme) as identified from a library screening. The catalysts are composed of low-molecular-weight peptides that are readily tuned through variation of the amino acid sequence, and one amino acid was connected to DMAP to ensure catalytic activity. These substrate-optimized catalysts were also applied to selectively convert one substrate in the presence of a structurally similar compound.

Central topics of carbohydrate chemistry embrace structural modifications of carbohydrates and oligosaccharide synthesis. Both require regioselectively protected building blocks that are mainly available via indirect multistep procedures. Hence, direct pr

Hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) and HOBt-derived reagents have been classified as Class I explosives, with restrictions on their transportation and storage. We explored a range of benzoylated oxime-based reagents as alternatives to benzoyloxybenzotriazole (BBTZ) for the selective benzoylation of carbohydrate polyols. Benzoylated oximes derived from 2-hydroximino-malononitrile, ethyl 2-hydroximino-2-cyanoacetate (Oxyma), and tert-butyl 2-hydroximino-2-cyanoacetate were most effective for benzoylation of a simple primary alcohol, with yields approaching that obtained for BBTZ. When applied to carbohydrate diols, the most effective reagent was identified as benzoyl-Oxyma. Benzoyl-Oxyma is a highly crystalline, readily prepared alternative to BBTZ, useful in the selective benzoylation of carbohydrate polyols.

Benzoylation of 4,6-O-benzylidene acetals of glycopyranosides by benzoic anhydride in acetonitrile in the presence of Cu(CF3COO)2 as a promoter gave 2-benzoates for α-D-glucopyranosides and α-D-mannopyranosides and 3-benzoates for β-D-galactopyranosides in good yields with high regioselectivity. Benzoylation of 4,6-O-benzylidene acetals of glycopyranosides of D-galactose and D-mannose by benzoyl chloride in the presence of MoO2(acac)2 as a catalyst in all studied cases led to regioselective 3-substitution.

2-O-Acyl protected-d-ribo-3-uloses reacted with [(ethoxycarbonyl)methylene]triphenylphosphorane in acetonitrile to afford regio- and stereoselectively 2-(Z)-alkenes in 10-60 min under microwave irradiation. This domino reaction is proposed to proceed via tautomerization of 3-ulose to enol, acyl migration, tautomerization to the 3-O-acyl-2-ulose, and Wittig reaction. Alternatively, in chloroform, regioselective 3-olefination of 2-O-pivaloyl-3-uloses gave (E)-alkenes, key precursors for the miharamycins' bicyclic sugar moiety.

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.

We demonstrate copper(II)-catalyzed acylation and tosylation of monosaccharides. Various carbohydrate derivatives, including glucopyranosides and ribofuranosides, are obtained in high yields and regioselectivities. Using this versatile strategy, the site

A large library of pyranoside-based hydroxyamide and thioamide ligands has been synthesized for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation in an attempt to expand the scope of the substrates to cover a broader range of challenging heteroaromatic and aryl/fluoroalkyl ketones. These ligands have the advantage that they are prepared from commercial D-glucose, D-glucosamine and α-amino acids, inexpensive natural chiral feedstocks. By carefully selecting the ligand components (substituents/configurations at the amide/thioamide moiety, the position of amide/thioamide group and the configuration at C-2), we found that pyranoside-based thioamide ligands provided excellent enantioselectivities (in the best cases, ees of >99% were achieved) in a broad range of ketones, including the less studied heteroaromatics and challenging aryl/fluoroalkyls. Note that both enantiomers of the reduction products can be obtained with excellent enantioselectivities by simply changing the absolute configuration of the thioamide substituent.

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.

A highly efficient TMSOTf-catalyzed HMDS silylation of sugars, which can easily be integrated with subsequent reactions in one-pot fashion, has been developed. Its usefulness was demonstrated by applications to streamlined regioselective one-pot protection and nonenzymatic acetylation of unprotected sugars. Monosaccharide and trehalose building blocks with orthogonally well-differentiated hydroxy groups were efficiently prepared starting with free sugars in one-pot fashion without the need for prior per-O-silylation. Regioselectively protected and acetylated building blocks were prepared directly from unprotected sugars in a one-pot manner involving up to five TMSOTf-catalyzed reactions, including a new TMSOTf-catalyzed silylation of carbohydrates.

A stereoselective synthesis of the apoptolidin disaccharide is reported. The key chemistry features a new transformation utilizing a highly selective tetramethylalkoxyalanate[v]-directed syn-methylation of a vinylogous ester, isolation of a hydrate of a 2-keto sugar, an eco-friendly radical cleavage of a bromomethyl group, and an efficient preparation of a fluorodisaccharide via the use of XtalFluor-E.

In the reaction of N,N-diethyl-α,α-difluorobenzylamine (DFBA) with 1,2- or 1,3-diols, selective mono-benzoylation occurs to afford mono-esters of the diols in good yield. The reaction is completed under mild conditions in a short reaction time. Further, prim-, sec-, and tert-diols and catechol can be converted to the corresponding mono-benzoates. DFBA is used for the protection of the hydroxy group in sugars. The selective mono-nicotinylation, formylation and pivaloylation of diols are also performed by using the corresponding difluoroalkylamines.

A method for preparing hexose derivatives comprises the steps of providing a silylated hexose, treating the silylated hexose with a first carbonyl compound in the presence of a catalyst to form an ketalized hexose, treating the ketalized hexose with a second carbonyl compound followed by treating with a first reductant to form an etherized hexose, and converting the etherized hexose into a target hexose derivative, which can be 2-alcohol hexose, 3-alcohol hexose, 4-alcohol hexose, or a 6-alcohol hexose. In particular, the present invention can prepare the hexose derivatives with highly regioselective scheme to protect individual hydroxyls of monosaccharide units and install an orthogonal protecting group pattern in a one-pot manner

2-(Prenyloxymethyl)benzoates can be prepared from alcohols and readily available 2-(prenyloxymethyl)benzoic acid by standard acylation techniques or by Mitsunobu reaction with inversion of configuration. The POMB group can be cleaved first by oxidative removal of the prenyl group with DDQ followed by lactonization with expulsion of the alcohol catalyzed by Yb(OTf)3. These reaction conditions are compatible with the presence of a large number of common protecting groups.

The 2-(prenyloxymethyl)benzoyl (POMB) group was introduced in high yields to hydroxyl functions using the crystalline reagent, 2-(prenyloxymethyl)benzoic acid, in the presence of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 4- dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP). 2-(Prenyloxymethyl)benzoic acid is readily available, in two steps, from phthalide in 65% overall yield. The POMB group can be cleaved, in two steps, by treatment with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanoquinone (DDQ) followed by intramolecular lactonisation of the resulting hydroxy ester induced by a catalytic amount of Yb(OTf)3·H2O. The reaction conditions are compatible with the presence of a number of protecting groups such as isopropylidene, benzyl, acetyl, chloroacetyl, benzoyl, levulinoyl, Fmoc and Boc groups.

A new facile method for monoacylation of diols has been developed. A variety of cyclic and acyclic diols, in particular 1,2-diols, were selectively monobenzoylated in good yields by the reaction with benzoyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of dimethyltin dichloride and inorganic bases such as potassium carbonate. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to a kinetic resolution of racemic 1-phenyl-1,2- ethanediol using a chiral organotin catalyst. The ee was dependent on the kind of base, water as an additive, and the reaction temperature.

The synthesis and NMR characterisation of methyl mono- and di-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranosiduronic acids 1-6 are described. Two commercial starting products were used: methyl α-D-glucopyranoside 7 for the preparation of 1 and 2, and methyl (R)-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside 8 for 3-6. Oxidation reaction of the hydroxymethyl group of glucose to a carboxylic acid group was performed by sodium hypochlorite 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-mediated procedure after the coupling reaction. Glycosylation was carried out using the trichloroacetimidate approach with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) as promoter, resulting in a completely stereoselective formation of the a glycosyl linkage.

Novel unmasking procedures for alkyl N-phenylcarbamates are established by the use of a tetrabutylammonium nitrite (Bu4NNO2) - acetic anhydride system, Bu4NNO2, Bu4NOAc, and CsOAc 18-crown-6 towards variously functionalized sugar derivatives.

D-(+)-Glucose was used as a starting material to prepare four potentially useful chiral liquid crystalline molecules 2, 3, 4 and 5 having multiple chiral centers in their rigid cores. It is clear that 2 indeed incorporates properties essential for ferroelectric liquid crystals, i.e., a chiral smectic C phase with an induced spontaneous polarization of about 23 nC/cm2. Compound 3, on the other hand, shows only a nematic phase, while 4 merely shows a sharp melting point and 5 is an oil.
