REGIOSELECTIVE ACYLATION OF METHYL ALPHA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSIDE AND METHYLALPHA-D-MANNOPYRANOSIDE BY MEANS OF BIS(2-OXOOXAZOLIDIN-3-YL)PHOSPHINIC CHLORIDE (BOP-CL)
A. Liguori et al., REGIOSELECTIVE ACYLATION OF METHYL ALPHA-D-GLUCOPYRANOSIDE AND METHYLALPHA-D-MANNOPYRANOSIDE BY MEANS OF BIS(2-OXOOXAZOLIDIN-3-YL)PHOSPHINIC CHLORIDE (BOP-CL), Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (15), 1993, pp. 1783-1786
A new synthetic procedure is presented which allows the regioselective
acylation of methyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside and methyl alpha-D-mannop
yranoside at the primary hydroxy group by means of bis(2-oxooxazolidin
-3-yl)phosphinic chloride (BOP-Cl) and aromatic or aliphatic carboxyli
c acids. 2,6-O- and 3,6-O-diacylated derivatives have been obtained as
side-products from gluco- and manno-pyranosides, respectively. Both y
ields and regioselectivity are comparable to those obtained in the lip
ase-catalysed derivatizations.
