A Carbohydrate-Based Julia–Kocienski Reagent for Syntheses of Chain-Extended and C-Linked Saccharides

The carbohydrate-derived Julia–Kocienski reagent 2-{[(3aS,4S,6R,6aR)-6-methoxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[3,4-d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl]methylsulfonyl}-1,3-benzothiazole (6) was prepared from d -ribose and investigated in the eponymous olefination. The base-promoted generation of the Julia anion induced a rearrangement­ to the corresponding l -lyxose epimer 2-{[(3aS,4R,6R,6aR)-6-methoxy-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[3,4-d][1,3]dioxol-4-yl]methylsulfonyl}-1,3-benzothiazole (12), which reacted readily with aldehydes and with a gluconolactone. The latter reaction furnished an exo-glycal-linked C-diglycoside.

3.13 Carbohydrate Derived Auxiliaries: Amino Sugar and Glycosylamine Auxiliaries

The stereodifferentiating potential of carbohydrate auxiliaries is illustrated by examples of oxazolidinones derived from amino sugars and aldimines of glycosylamines. Taking advantage of the bicyclic structure of amino sugar-derived oxazolidinones, reactions of their unsaturated or deprotonated N -acyl derivatives show an efficient exo - versus endo -differentiation. High diastereoselectivity is achieved in the syntheses of β -branched or α -substituted carboxylic acid derivatives. Imines of glycosylamines, in particular of 2,3,4,6-tetra- O -pivaloyl- β - d -galactopyranosylamine, are characterized by a conformation stabilized through the exo -anomeric effect and by their ability to coordi…
