Synthesis of 2-deoxy and 2,6-dideoxy glycosides under neutral conditions in LiClO₄/Et₂O mixtures

Abstract

Glycosides of 2-deoxy and 2,6-dideoxy carbohydrates were built up in high yields and with high stereoselectivity in 0.1 M LiClO₄/Et₂O mixtures; the glycosidations proceed under neutral conditions and without need for an additional promoter such as a strong Lewis acid, a heavy metal salt or an alkylating reagent.

Schmidt, J. Michel and M. Roos, Liebigs Ann. Chem., 1984, 1343; The corresponding β-anomer was obtained by employing K₂CO₃ as base. In both cases the yield was quantitative. Glycosyl fluorides 2–4 were obtained in quantitative yield by treatment of the corresponding 1-O-deprotected benzylated carbohydrates with diethylamino sulfur trifluoride (DAST) in CH₂Cl₂ according to the general procedure (W. Rosenbrook, Jr., D. A. Riley and P. A. Lartey, Tetrahedron Lett., 1985, 26, 3).
