Abstract

Orthobenzoates of glucose and mannose provide donor and acceptor partners to produce a disaccharide bearing a benzoyl group at the site where gluco to manno conversion is required, the inverted center being ready to function, iteratively, as the next acceptor for the gluco n-pentenyl orthobenzoate to extend the oligomannan.

Key words

n-pentenylorthoesters - β-oligomannosides - iterative synthesis - structure verification

Typical procedure for preparation of 9 by reaction of 15a with 1: The acceptor, trisaccharide 15a (n = 1, 1.40 g, 1 mmol) and the donor (1, 4.36 g, 7 mmol) were separately rotovaporised twice with dry toluene, and then dried for 8 h under vacuum (0.5 mm Hg). To a solution of the acceptor in 15 mL of dry CH2Cl2 were added freshly activated molecular sieves (4 g, 3 A beads, 8-12 mesh), NIS re-crystallized from hot CH2Cl2 and cold hexane and dried under vacuum (0.5 mm Hg, over night, 1.35 g, 6 mmol) followed by TBDMSOTf (0.1 mL, 0.4 mmol) at 10 ºC (ice bath). To this solution was added a solution of NPOE in CH2Cl2 drop-wise over 10 min, and then the ice bath was removed. After 10 min TLC (7:3, hexane-ethyl acetate) showed that all of the acceptor had been consumed. The mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL), and washed with 10% aqueous Na2S2O3, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The dried (Na2SO4) material was concentrated and flash chromatography (7:1& ndash;4:1, hexane-ethyl acetate) afforded 1.78 g (92%) of 9 (n = 2). Rf = 0.5 (7:3 hexane-ethyl acetate).
