title: Synthesis and glycosylation of a series of 6-mono-, di-, and trifluoro S-phenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-thiorhamnopyranosides. Effect of the fluorine substituents on glycosylation stereoselectivity.
abstract: A series of 6-mono-, di-, and trifluoro analogs of S-phenyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-D- or L-thiorhamnopyranoside has been synthesized and used as donors in glycosylation reactions, with activation by the 1-benzenesulfinyl piperidine/triflic anhydride system. The stereochemical outcome of the glycosylation reactions was found to depend on the electron-withdrawing capability of the disarming substituent at the 6-position, i.e., on the number of fluorine atoms present. The results are explained with regard to the increased stability of the glycosyl triflates, shown to be intermediates in the reaction by low-temperature 1H NMR experiments, with increased fluorine content.
