4,4 ,4"-Tris trityl

The ready condensation of sucrose with excess triphenylmethyl chloride in pyridine to a tri-trityl ether is, however, more easily explained by XV or II, which have three, instead of two (c/. I), primary alcohol groups to react selectively in the condensation. Fleury and Courtois oxidized sucrose for twenty-four hours at 14° with an excess of suitably buffered periodic acid and found that three moles of the oxidant were consumed and one mole of formic acid was eliminated. This highly selective oxidant is known to cleave unsubstituted 1,2 glycols quantitatively to two carbonyl groups and to eliminate the center carbon atom... 

An ideal protection would envisage -per-derivatization of the guanidino group (Scheme 1). This has been realized with the tris(trityl) derivative which, however, has not found application in peptide synthesis. In contrast, N -protection should at least prevent 6-lactam formation (Scheme 2), but N -acylation with the related cascade into side products (Scheme 3) may still occur.f l In reality, most of the proposed protections are simple N - or N -derivatives which act via their electron-withdrawing properties and bulkiness with a range of efficiencies to prevent both 6-lactam formation and aminoacylation. 

The well-known tri-tritylation of free sucrose provided derivative 7a, benzylation of which, followed by careful deprotection, afforded 2,3,3, 4,4 -penta-0-benzylsucrose (9). The main difficulty in the synthesis of 9 was encountered during hydrolysis of fully protected... 

Protonic initiation is also the end result of a large number of other initiating systems. Strong acids are generated in situ by a variety of different chemistries (6). These include initiation by carbenium ions, eg, trityl or diazonium salts (151) by an electric current in the presence of a quartenary ammonium salt (152) by halonium, triaryl sulfonium, and triaryl selenonium salts with uv irradiation (153—155) by mercuric perchlorate, nitrosyl hexafluorophosphate, or nitryl hexafluorophosphate (156) and by interaction of free radicals with certain metal salts (157). Reports of "new" initiating systems are often the result of such secondary reactions. Other reports suggest standard polymerization processes with perhaps novel anions. These latter include (Tf)4Al (158) heteropoly acids, eg, tungstophosphate anion (159,160) transition-metal-based systems, eg, Pt (161) or rare earths (162) and numerous systems based on tri flic acid (158,163—166). Coordination polymerization of THF may be in a different class (167). 

Trityl Ethers. Treatment of sucrose with four molar equivalents of chlorotriphenylmethyl chloride (trityl chloride) in pyridine gives, after acetylation and chromatography, 6,1, 6 -tri-O-tritylsucrose [35674-14-7] and 6,6 -di-O-tritylsucrose [35674-15-8] in 50 and 30% yield, respectively (16). Conventional acetylation of 6,1, 6 -tri-O-tritylsucrose, followed by detritylation and concomitant C-4 to C-6 acetyl migration using aqueous acetic acid, yields a pentaacetate, which on chlorination using thionyl chloride in pyridine and deacetylation produces 4,l, 6 -trichloro-4,l, 6 -trideoxygalactosucrose [56038-13-2] (sucralose), alow calorie sweetener (17). 

StericaHy hindered silyl ethers such as ferZ-hutyl dimethyl silyl, / fZ-butyldiphenylsilyl, and tricyclohexylsilyl have been proposed as alternatives to trityl ethers. Reaction of sucrose with 3.5 molar equivalents of ferZ-hutyl dimethyl silyl chloride produces the 6,1/6 -tri-O-silyl derivative in good yield (27). 

The first objective was the conversion of L-tryptophan into a derivative that could be converted to pyrroloindoline 3, possessing a cis ring fusion and a syn relationship of the carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. This was achieved by the conversions shown in Scheme 1. A critical step was e. Of many variants tried, the use of the trityl group on the NH2 of tryptophan and the t-butyl group on the carboxyl resulted in stereospecific oxidative cyclization to afford 3 of the desired cis-syn stereochemistry in good yield. 

Several other methods for the introduction of halo atoms at C-6 in hexose derivatives have been known since the late 1920s. One of the earlier methods involved the reaction of methyl 2,3,4-tri-0-acetyl-6-0-trityl-a-D-glucopyranoside with phosphorus pentachloride which resulted only in an 8% overall yield of methyl 6-chloro-6-deoxy-a-D-glucoside (57). In contrast, the reaction of methyl 2,3,4-tri-0-acetyl-6-0-trityl-a-D-altropyranoside with phosphorus tribromide and bromine afforded a 73% yield of the corresponding 6-bromo-6-deoxy derivative (91).

Deoxy-2-[ F]fluoro-D-galactose can be prepared through an addition reaction to tri-O-acetyl-D-galactal (465), but better through Sn2 reaction (K F-Kryptofix 222 in MeCN) of methyl 3,4-0-isopropylidene-2-0-triflyl-6-0-trityl-y -D-talopyranoside (220 see Section 11,2), according to the cold synthesis. 

The trityl radical (gold-coloured) is readily oxidized to peroxide (white) the comparable 2,4,6-tri-(tert-butyl)phenoxy radical (blue) in, e.g., cyclohexane was applied by Paris et al." to so-called free radical titration (either potentiometric or photometric) of oxygen or antioxidant (the latter by hydrogen abstraction). 

The source of some of the difficulties encountered in trying to explain the effects of structural changes on ionization rates may be due to the different parts played by the solvent, as for example, the sulfur dioxide of the trityl chloride equilibrium experiments and the aqueous acetone of the benzhydryl chloride rate data. The solvent is bound to modify the effect of a substituent, and although the solvent is usually ignored in discussing substituent effects this is because of a scarcity of usable data and not because the importance of the solvent is not realized "... solvation energy and entropy are the most characteristic determinants of reactions in solution, and... for this class of reactions no norm exists which does not take primary account of solvation. 220 Precisely how best to take account of solvation is an unanswered problem that is the subject of much current research.
