title: Synthesis of a novel N[bond]O-interglycosidic disaccharide.
abstract: The carbohydrate subunits carrying an N-O-interglycosidic bond play a very important role in the biological activity of the enediyne antibiotics. Condensation of O-(alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosyl)hydroxylamine (5a and 5b) with the hex-3-ulopyranoside (6) furnished methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-2,3-dideoxy-3-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyloxy)imino-alpha- and beta-D-erythro-hexopyranoside (7a and 7b). Stereoselective reduction of the Cz.dbnd6;N bond of 7a and 7b with sodium cyanoborohydride resulted in the formation of the required protected N-O-interglycosidic disaccharides (8a and 8b). Finally, catalytic hydrogenation of 8a afforded methyl 2,3-dideoxy-3-(alpha-D-glucopyranosyloxy)amino-alpha-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (9a). Under similar conditions the beta anomer 8b underwent decomposition.
