Selective 1-O-Deacetylation of Carbohydrates Using Polymer-Bound Benzylamine

Abstract

A new method for highly effective and selective 1-O-deacetylation of peracetylated carbohydrates using polymer-bound amines is presented.

Key words

polymer-bound reagents - carbohydrates - deacetyl­ation - regioselectivity - protective groups

Representative Experimental Procedure.
1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranose (11 mg, 0.028 mmol) and aminomethylated polystyrene resin (60 mg, 0.90 mmol/g) were mixed in THF (1 mL) in a sealed tube. Then, Et₃N (0.011 mL, 0.0078 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 75 °C for 18 h. The mixture was filtered with CH₂Cl₂ and concentrated from CHCl₃. NMR showed 96% product and 4% starting material.

1,2,3,4,6-Penta-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranose (53 mg, 0.14 mmol) and aminomethylated polystyrene resin (288 mg, 0.90 mmol/g) were mixed in THF (5 mL) in a sealed tube. Then, Et₃N (0.05 mL, 0.0004 mmol) was added and the mixture was heated to 75 °C for 18 h. The mixture was filtered with CH₂Cl₂ and concentrated. The crude product was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (1 mL) and cooled to -10 °C under argon. Thereafter, Cl₃CCN (0.136 mL, 1.36 mmol) and DBU (0.005 mL, 0.033 mmol) were added and the reaction was allowed to reach r.t. and then stirred for 3 h. To this mixture DBU (0.005 mL, 0.033 mmol) was added and the composition was stirred for another hour and then concentrated and chromatographed (SiO₂, 1:1 heptane-EtOAc) to give 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-d-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (57 mg, 85%). The product was in agreement with published data.
