Paratose preparation

The derivative (9) of 3,6-dideoxy-a-D-xyIo-hexopyranose (abequose) was isolated from a strain of Salmonella typhimurium,16 that (10) of 3,6-dideoxy-a-D-nfco-hexopyranose (paratose) from Salmonella paratyphi,54 and a mixture of 10 and the ester (11) of 3,6-dideoxy-a-D-arabino-hexopyranose (tyvelose) from Salmonella enteritidis.,6 It was shown that these derivatives are formed from cytidine 5 -(a-D-glu-copyranosyl pyrophosphate) by treatment with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in the presence of cell extracts of the respective bacterial strain. For example, formation of 9 is characteristic of preparations from Salmonella, group B,55,56 or Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, type II.56 The derivative 10 was obtained with extracts of Salmonella, group A,56 and Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, type I and III,56 and a mixture of 10 and 11 with those of Salmonella, group D,55-60 or Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis, type IV 56.59,60 Under similar conditions, the ester (12) of cytidine 5 -pyro-... 

Another approach to prepare the paratose derivative 150, with different subtituents at 0-2 and 0-4, starts from 4,6-<9-benzylidene-l,2-(3-propylidene-a-D-glucopyranose (Scheme 45).199... 

Some of the rare sugars that have been prepared by way of chloro-deoxy derivatives are 4,6-dideoxy-3-0-methyl-D-xyZo-hexose (D-chal-cose), 3,6-dideoxy-D-n foo-hexose (paratose), 3,6-dideoxy-D-arafcmo-hexose (tyvelose), methyl 2,3-dideoxy-/3-D-glr/cero-hex-2-enopyrano-sid-4-ulose, and certain aminodeoxy sugars. 

Synthesis of D-epiallomuscarine, a 2,S-anhydro-3,6-dideoxyaldonic acid derivative, is detailed in Chapter 23. Paratose (3,6-dideoxy-D-r/i o-hexose) has been prepared from the 3-deoxy compound (13) by selective hydrolysis, tosylation at the primary position, and reduction using lithium aluminium... 

Whitesides and coworkers have carried out a comparison of enzymic and chemical routes to CTP, GTP and UTP on a 10-gram scale. They concluded that CTP and GTP were best made enzymically, and UTP by reaction of CTP with nitrous acid. The triphosphates were then employed for the enzymic synthesis of UDP-Glucose, UDP-Glucuronic acid, and GDP-Mannose.i94 Cytidine diphosphate sugars have been prepared from the 3,6-dideoxyhexoses paratose and abequose,193 and all four nucleoside diphosphate sugars of 6-sulpho-a-D-quinovose have been synthesized for studies of sulpholipid biosynthesis in chloroplasts.196 The stable analogue (138) of CMP-KDO has been prepared by a triester approach, but was only a weak inhibitor of KDO incorporation into lipopolysaccharides.197 A reference to acetylated forms of UDPGlc is mentioned in Chapter 7.
