Abstract
2-(Arylthio)-2-deoxyglucosyl chlorides, which are easily prepared as a mixture of stereoisomers upon the Ad(E) reaction of ArSCl with tri-O- benzyl-D-glucal, upon treatment with a Lewis acid catalyst can be tran sformed into cationoid intermediates, presumably episulfonium ions. Th e latter were shown to be efficient electrophiles capable of alkylatin g various Si-containing nucleophiles such as TMSCN, allyltrimethylsila ne, TMS; enol ethers, and ketene acetals with formation of the corresp onding. 2-deoxy-2-(arylthio)-C-glucosides in-preparatively acceptable yields. The final outcome of the reaction corresponds to a net trans-a ddition of ArS and carbon nucleophile moieties across the double bond of the starting glucal. The stereofacial selectivity of this addition is sensitive to variations in the reaction conditions but generally a below-plane attack is preferable. A highly selective formation of the beta-C-glucosidic bond (ratio of beta-gluco:alpha-manno isomers up to 19:1) can be achieved if the coupling is carried out in CH2Cl2 solutio n. Thus, the reaction might serve as a convenient method for the synth esis of diverse 2-deoxy-2-(arylthio)-beta-C-glucosides containing alip hatic, cycloaliphatic, or aromatic residues and functional groups like carbonyl, carboxyl, or the double bond.
