Abstract

Phenyl 2-deoxy-2-iodo-1-thioglycosides, prepared from simple pentoses by olefination and iodine-induced cyclization, have proved to be efficient glycosyl donors for the stereoselective synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-iodo-oligosaccharides, which are precursors of 2-deoxy-oligosaccharides.

Compound 2: To a solution of 4 mmol of the phosphine oxide in 26 mL of THF at -78 ºC, 4.2 mmol of BuLi were added. The mixture was left to stir at low temperature for 30 min. A solution of 1 mmol of 1 in 2 mL of THF was then added dropwise. The mixture was allowed to warm to r.t. overnight. A sat. solution of NH4Cl was then added and the olefination product extrated with Et2O. The combination of ethereal layers was dried with MgSO4 and concentrated. The reaction crude was purified by MPLC (hexane to EtOAc/hexane = 1:3) to render 2 (80% yield) as a mixture of diastereoisomers (E/Z-ratio = 87:13) as a syrup.

Compound 3: A 0.175 M suspension of 1.3 mol of KH 30% in dry Et2O was added dropwise to a 0.085 M solution of 2 (1 mol) in dry Et2O at 0 ºC, and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 30 min until complete formation of the alcoholate.

General Procedure of Glycosylation: A solution of the glycosyl donor (1 mmol) and the glycosyl acceptor (2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) were allowed to stir with 4 Å molecular sieves for 2 h. The mixture was then cooled to -78 ºC, and NIS (3 mmol) and TfOH (0.2 mmol) were added. The mixture was allowed to warm to -40 ºC and stirred for 2-4 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with CH2Cl2 and washed with a solution of Na2S3O3. The ethereal layer was dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated. The residue was then purified by radial chromatography.
