Syntheses and reactions of 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-alpha-D-ribofuranose and beta-D-lyxofuranose, 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,6-di-O-benzyl- and 1,2-anhydro-5,6-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-benzyl-beta-D-mannofuranose, and 6-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose and -beta-D-talopyranose.
The title compounds 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-alpha-D-ribofuranose and 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-beta-D-lyxofuranose, and 6-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose and 6-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-talopyranose, and 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,6-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-mannofuranose and 1,2-anhydro-5,6-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-benzyl-beta-D-mannofuranose have each been synthesized from the corresponding 2-O-tosylate and 1-free hydroxyl intermediates by base-initiated intramolecular S(N)2 ring closure in almost quantitative yields. Acetyl and benzoyl groups were not affected in the ring closure reactions. Condensation of 6-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose and 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,6-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-mannofuranose with 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranose in the presence of ZnCl2 as the catalyst afforded the 1,2-trans-linked 6-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranose and 5-O-acetyl-3,6-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-mannofuranosyl-(1-->6)-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-galactopyranose as the sole products in satisfactory yields, while condensation of 5-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3-O-benzyl-beta-D-lyxofuranose with 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-xylofuranose yielded the 1,2-trans-linked 5-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-alpha-D-lyxofuranosyl-(1-->5)-3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-xylofuranose as the sole product in a good yield. The 6-O-acetyl group in the glycosyl donor, 6-O-acetyl-1,2-anhydro-3,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranose, did not influence the stereoselectivity of the ring-opening-coupling reaction.
