The synthesis and cyclization reactions, leading to spirocyclic medium ring-sized diolides, of o-(hydroxymethyl)xylylene monoesters of sialyl thioglycosides is described. Cyclization yields and stereoselectivities are found to vary as a function of the anomeric stereochemistry of the thioglycoside and of the N5 protecting group, and these effects are discussed in terms of the reaction mechanism. Cyclization in the presence of acetonitrile results in the isolation and characterization of a Ritter-type N-sialyl acetamide, which affords strong evidence for the participation of acetonitrile in the form of sialyl nitrilium ions.
描述了唾液酸硫代糖苷的邻(羟甲基)亚二甲苯基单酯合成并环化生成螺环中环大小的二内酯的反应。发现环化产率和立体选择性随硫代糖苷的异头立体化学和N5保护基的变化而变化,并根据反应机理讨论了这些影响。在乙腈存在下进行环化反应,得到并表征了一种里特型N-唾液酰乙酰胺,这为乙腈以唾液酰腈离子的形式参与反应提供了有力证据。
