title: Preparative synthesis of C-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-alkenes and -alkadienes: Diels-Alder reaction.
abstract: The reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranose with (E)-penta-2,4-dienyltrimethylsilane and boron trifluoride etherate in acetonitrile afforded stereoselectively (E)-5-(tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-1,3-pentadiene in good yield. The readily available penta-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose reacted with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate in acetonitrile to give 3-(tetra-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-1-propene and its beta anomer in yields of 60% and 2.3%, respectively. Diels-Alder cycloaddition of maleic anhydride to diene 1 afforded the adduct cis,cis-3-(tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosylmethyl)cyclohex -4-ene- 1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride in high yield.
