Carbohydrate derivatives glycosides

Glycosides are a large and very important class of carbohydrate derivatives character ized by the replacement of the anomeric hydroxyl group by some other substituent Gly cosides are termed O glycosides N glycosides S glycosides and so on according to the atom attached to the anomeric carbon... 

Glycoside (Section 25.13) A carbohydrate derivative in which the hydroxyl group at the anomeric position has been replaced by some other group. An O-glycoside is an ether of a carbohydrate in which the anomeric position bears an alkoxy group. 

This methodology has been applied to carbohydrate derivatives and provides a route to certain C-aryl glycosides.

Carbohydrate derivatives, in which one or more of the oxygen atoms bonded directly to the carbon skeleton have been replaced by sulfur, are termed thiosugars. The placement of the sulfur atom at the anomeric position constitutes a special case, because thioglycosides, alkyl, aryl and heterocyclic, occupy a very important place as versatile glycosyl donors in glycosidation methodology. Anomeric thiocarbonyl compounds, on the contrary, have been less explored, although their potential and scope is likely to be similar. 

To facilitate accesses to suitably functionalized sialic acid derivatives and complex sialyloligosaccharides for other usehil neoglycoconjugates, phase transfer catalysis (PTC) has been exploited extensively [for reviews see 42]. This process provided a wide range of carbohydrate derivatives under essentially clean Sn2 transformations. In the case of acetochloroneuraminic acid 1, the PTC reactions always provided inverted a-sialic acid derivatives [43]. para-Formylphenyl sialoside 7 [44], together with many other sialoside derivatives such as 8-10 [43], including thioacetate 12 [45] and azide 14 [46], were thus obtained (Scheme 1). Aldehyde 7 and similar glycosides are of particular interest since they could be directly conjugated to protein by reductive amina-tion after suitable deprotection [44]. 

Acylations of carbohydrate derivatives such as alkyl glucosides and galactosides have also been successfully performed in ionic liquids [63]. Similarly, the flavonoid glycosides naringin and rutin were acylated with vinyl butyrate in ionic liquid media in the presence of a number of lipases, e.g., CaLB (Novozym 435), immobilized TIL, and RmL [119]. The products are of interest for application as strong antioxidants in hydrophobic media. 

Thioglycosides were first introduced in glycosidation reactions by Ferrier in 1973 [31], who used the ethylthio group at the anomeric position. Subsequently, Hanessian [32] demonstrated the usefulness of the 2-pyridylthiol. Currently, the phenylthio and the ethylthio carbohydrate derivatives are the most commonly used glycosyl donors from this class of... 

Thioglycosides have been prepared on solid phase by glycosylation of thiols with various types of glycosyl donor. Carbohydrate-derived thioethers have been used either to link carbohydrates to thiol-functionalized supports [9,26,78,79] or as glycosyl donors for the preparation of glycosides on solid phase (see Section 16.3.3).

Only syntheses which involve the formation of new glycosidic linkages will be considered in this article. This restriction excludes many interesting examples of copolymerization in which only one of the monomers is a carbohydrate (or carbohydrate derivative), the polymerization of carbohydrate derivatives which contain a polymerizable group4 (such as acrylate), and the polymerization of sugar lactones.1 Many of these topics have already been discussed in reviews.1-8 Also outside the scope of this article is the chemical modification of naturally occurring polysaccharides thus, we have excluded the industrially important process of dextrini-zation,10 except as it may pertain to acid condensation processes. The radiation-catalyzed polymerization and modification of carbohydrate poly-... 

The work described in the previous section has set the scene for the more difficult problem of the glycosidation of secondary hydroxyl groups of carbohydrate derivatives where elimination to give the unsaturated derivative (376) is a more severe problem.
