Manno compounds

Simple syntheses of suitable monomers for nylon 5 and nylon 6 analogs, such as 5-amino-5-deoxyaldonic and 6-amino-6-deoxyaldonic acids (51, 54), has been achieved starting from unprotected o-pentono- and hexono-1,4-lactones [68, 69]. Saponification of 5- or 6-azido-D-aldonolactones ribo-, arabino-, xylo-, galacto-, manno-, compound types 49 and 52) provided the corresponding 5- or 6-azido-aldonic acid sodium salts (50, 53). A catalytic hydrogenation after or before treatment with acidic resin afforded compounds 51 and 54 in excellent overall yields (Scheme 16). 

Various pathways for the electrophilic addition to a glycal followed by nucleophilic opening of the resulting halonium ion can account for the different product distributions obtained from these reactions [74]. Irreversible formation of the halonium ion and subsequent nucleophilic displacement leads to the (B-g/wco compound, while reversible formation of the halonium ion followed by slow nucleophilic trans diaxial opening leads to the a-manno compound. Common T sources used to synthesise a-manno species include V-iodosuccinimide (NIS), and iodonium di-iym-collidine perchlorate (IDCP). An iodonium source is particularly favoured over a bromonium source, as this more readily allows further subsequent functionalisation of the product often via radical chemistry. The yields of... 

These results have been used to prepare key starting compounds 11 and 12 for the enantioselective synthesis of 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid... 

Cyclization of 148 with l,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) and a subsequent elimination reaction with acetic anhydride and pyridine furnished compound 149. °- Compound 149 was found to be an important key compound for the following synthesis of carba-sugars of the a-L-altro, fi-D-gluco, P-h-allo, and a-D manno modifications. 

Starting from 149, novel carba-sugar pentaacetates of the P-L-allo (168) and a-u-manno (171) configuration have been synthesized. Reduction of 149 with diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) and acetylation gave a mixture of acetates 162 and 163. Hydroxylation of the mixture with osmium tetraoxide and hydrogen peroxide provided compounds 164 and 165 in the ratio of 9 1. Hydrolysis of 164 gave compound 166, which was transformed into 168 by a reaction analogous to that employed in the preparation of 157 from 153. 

Introduction of F2 into 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal (61) in CCI3F (Freon 11) at —78° in a manner used for the non-labeled compound (so-called cold synthesis) gave a 4 1 mixture of 3,4,6-tri-0-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-[ F]fluoro-a-D-gluco- (574) and ) -D-manno-pyranosyl fluorides (575),... 

These model reactions were of great value in the extension of the C-glycosylation reaction with malonic esters to five-membered ring-systems. Treatment of 2,3 5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-a-D-manno-furanosyl bromide122,123 (150) with diethyl sodiomalonate led to an anomeric mixture of C-glycosyl compounds that could be separated by column chromatography, with the a (151) and /B (152) anomers in... 

Radical reduction of 1-nitro-C-glycosyl compounds. In 1983, Vasella and co-workers125 reported a stereoselective method for the synthesis of a-C-mannopyranosyl compounds by reduction of 1-nitro-C-mannopyranosyl derivatives with Bu3SnH in the presence of a,a -azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) radical initiator. These reactions involve the formation of anomeric centered radicals. Thus, in the case of d-manno configuration as in 140, the 1,2-cts-C-pyranosyl compound 145 was obtained in 84% yield. The intermediate pyranosyl radicals 143 prefer a-attack by the tin hydride. Thus for D-glucopyranosyl derivatives, the corresponding l,2-tra x-C-pyranosyl compound 144 is obtained preferentially (Scheme 47). 

The stereochemistry of the reaction of glycosyl radicals is strongly influenced by the anomeric effect. Glucopyranosides and manno-pyranosides afford stereo selectively the a-C-glycosyl compounds whereas in furanosidic structures the stereochemistry is not always predictable.
