Hexopyranoses complexes

This process (also known as the Ferrier II Reaction ) has proved to be of considerable value for the efficient, one-step conversion of 5,6-unsaturated hexopyranose derivatives into functionalized cyclohexanones useful for the preparation of such enantiomerically pure compounds as inositols and their amino, deoxy, unsaturated and selectively O-substituted derivatives, notably phosphate esters. In addition, the products of the carbocyclization have been incorporated into many complex compounds of interest in biological and medicinal chemistry. ... 

In keeping with findings in the hexuronic acid series (see Section 11,2), hexopyranose peresters having axial substituents at the anomeric center react appreciably more slowly than do compounds with such groups equatorial they give complex sets of products from which 5-bromo-a compounds have been isolated in only modest yields.26 34 As with the hexuronic acids, this observation can be attributed to steric inhibition of axial attack by bromine at C-5 or at H-5. 

In the case of 1,6 2,3- (136) and l,6 3,4-dianhydro-/I-D-talopyranoses, the diaxial opening of the oxirane ring prevails, but a trend to diequatorial opening496 498 is apparent with l,6 2,3-dianhydro-4-deoxy- and 1,6 3,4-dianhydro-2-deoxy-/l-D-/yxo-hexopyranoses.169,432,493 Using 1,6 2,3- and l,6 3,4-dianhydrohexopyranoses as starting compounds allowed the preparation of a complete series of 12 isomeric 1,6-anhydro-monodeoxy-/Fn-hexopyranoses and 6 corresponding 1,6-anhydro-dideoxyhexoses,499 mainly by catalytic or complex hydride reductions.462,500... 

During the past ten years, the l,6-anhydro-/3-D-hexopyranoses have found wide application in the synthesis of hexoses and their derivatives, and of oligosaccharides, and for polymerization to polysaccharides. They can be used as model compounds in studying the physical and chemical properties of monosaccharides, as has been shown, for example, by nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) studies, and also by studies of (a) their chiroptical properties, (b) the partial reactivity of hydroxyl groups, and (c) their ability to form complexes. 

Hetero Diels-Alder cycloaddition of a,p-unsaturated carbonyl compounds and dioxygenated alkenes in the presence of a chiral bisoxazoline-Cu(OTf)2 complex as Lewis add catalyst furnished hexopyranose precursors in good yields and high enantomeric excess. In the synthesis of the precursor 6 of ethyl tetra-0-acetyl-P-D-mannopyranose outlined in Scheme 1, for example, a 69% overall yield and 99% ee were achieved. A new route to hex-2-uloses involving boron-or, preferably, lithium-enolates is exemplified in Scheme 2. Only 3,4-trans-... 

The antibiotic complex M-4365 elaborated by Micromonospora capillata MCRL 0940 contains at least six components having -desosamine (3,4,6-tri-deoxy-3-dimethylamino-D-xy/o-hexopyranose) attached to C-5 of a 16-membered macrolide ring, whose structure shows minor differences among the various components. The macrolide ring (as its ethylene acetal) of carbomycin B (524 ... 

Revised structures for the constituents of the megalomycin complex have been proposed on the basis of A -ray and n.m.r. data L-megosamine (2,3,6-trideoxy-3-dimethylamino-L-r/6o-hexopyranose) (8) a-linked to the tertiary hydroxy-...

Paulsen s group has reported the synthesis of derivatives (256) and (257) of the hydroxyethyl-branched octose that is found as a component of the quinocycline complexes isolated from Streptomyces aureofaciens. The route from the epoxyketone (255) is outlined in Scheme 59. An identical route was used to prepare branched-chain analogues in the o-series, in which it was shown that acid-catalysed methanolysis of the hydroxyethyl-branched derivative (258) yielded the more stable isomer (259) via the anhydro-sugar d-(257). Paulsen s group has also described a synthesis of a derivative (260) of pillarose (see Vol. 9, p. 99), a component of the antibiotic pillaromycin, using the dianion (261) prepared from 2-hydroxymethyl-l,3-dithiane to introduce the branch at C-4 (Scheme 60). A similar approach, using the anion derived from 2-methyl-l,3-dithiane, and subsequent desulphurization and reduction, etc., was adopted in a synthesis of a derivative (262) of aldgarose (4,6-dideoxy-3-C-[(i )-l-hydroxyethyl]-D-W6o-hexopyranose 3,3 -cyclic carbonate) (cf. Vol. 8, p. 100).
