Abstract

The intramolecular glycosylation of thiomannoside donors linked through C6′ by a phthaloyl group to C3 of a diol mannoside acceptor is described. The unexpected results led us to undertake a systematic analysis of the factors affecting the regioselectivity of the intermolecular process. The substituents on the diol mannoside acceptor have been found to play an important role.

General Method for the Formation of Diesters 8 and 9. A solution of 6a or 6b, phthalic anhydride (2 equiv) and Et3N (5 equiv) in 20 mL of CH2Cl2 was stirred at r.t. for 4 h. Then, a sat. solution of NH4Cl was added, the mixture was stirred for 15 min, the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 100 mL), and the combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to give the corresponding triethylamine salt. This salt was dissolved in toluene and treated with SOCl2 (5 equiv) and 3 drops of DMF, and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 4 h. The reaction mixture was then co-evaporated with toluene several times under vacuum to give the corresponding acid chloride as a yellow oil, which was treated with a solution of the tin derivative (1.1 equiv) prepared as follows: methyl 6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-α-d-mannopyranoside (7) was dissolved in anhyd toluene in an Erlenmeyer flask, then dibutyltin oxide (1.1 equiv) was added. The suspension was heated in a microwave oven (domestic microwave oven LG intellowave 700 W) for periods of 2 min until the solid was completely dissolved. The solution was allowed to reach r.t., then was added to the freshly prepared acid chloride, and the mixture was stirred for 20 h. Silica gel was then added, the slurry was stirred for 1 h, the solvent was evaporated under vacuum, and the solid was directly loaded into a column for flash chromatography.

Procedure for Intramolecular Glycosylation Reactions.
Method A: diester 8a was co-evaporated 3 times with toluene, 4 Å molecular sieves were added, and the residue was dried under vacuum for 3 h. The mixture was dissolved in CH2Cl2 under argon, and NIS (3 equiv) was added as solid under a stream of argon at r.t. The reaction mixture was stirred for 48 h, then NaHCO3 and Na2S2O3 were added as solids. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 30 min, then filtered through a short pad of celite, the solvent was evaporated, and the crude product was purified by flash chromatography.
Method B: as for method A, but with the addition of 0.1 equiv of TfOAg after the addition of NIS. In this case the reaction mixture was stirred at -40 °C for 2 h, was left to reach r.t. over a period of 12 h, and was then stirred at r.t. for a further 4 h.
Method C: as for method A, but with the addition of 1 equiv of TfOAg after the addition of NIS and stirring the reaction mixture at 0 °C for 10 min.
