Carba-maltose, synthesis

Synthesis of Carba-maltose, Carba-isomaltose, Carba-cellobiose, and the Like 68... 

Such carba-disaccharides as validoxylamines A and B were synthesized as intermediary compounds in the total synthesis of validamycin antibiotics. Carba-disaccharides related to maltose, isomaltose, cellobiose, the trehaloses, and trehalosamine modifications have also been synthesized. 

As previously stated, a distinct feature of this rearrangement is the retention of the anomeric information. This advantage is nicely illustrated by the direct synthesis of a carba-disaccharide from a disaccharide [65]. As shown in Scheme 8.35, maltose was first transformed into the thioglycoside 131. Manipulation to the free primary alcohol 132 was achieved using a classical sequence of reactions. At this point, glycosylation of methanol was realized in the presence of NCS to afford 133, and the unsaturated derivative 134 was obtained after iodination and elimination. Triisobutylaluminum induced rearrangement nicely afforded the carba-disaccharide precursor 135 in a yield of 89% as a mixture of two isomers.
