A mild acetolysis method for the regioselective removal of isopropylidene group from di-O-isopropylidene-protected hexopyranosides is reported. O-Isopropylidene-protected intermediates play an important role in carbohydrate chemistry, as they are often found in commercially available furanosyl and pyranosyl materials, and some of them contain more than one O-isopropylidene groups. Methods that permit regioselective removal of O-isopropylidene groups are extremely valuable, as the number of steps in the total synthesis of complex oligosaccharides could be significantly decreased. Here we report that trifluoroacetic acid (TFA)/acetic anhydride (AcO) can be used to regioselectively convert one of the two O-isopropylidene groups to vicinal di-O-acetates in the di-O-isopropylidene-protected galacto- and fructo-pyranosyl systems, and the reagent is compatible with some common functionalities such as sulfonate esters, bromide, azide etc.
报道了一种温和的乙酰解方法,用于从二 -O- 异亚丙基保护的己吡喃糖苷中区域选择性地去除异亚丙基。O- 异亚丙基保护的中间体在碳水化合物化学中起着重要作用,因为它们经常存在于市售的呋喃糖基和吡喃糖基材料中,并且其中一些含有不止一个 O- 异亚丙基。允许区域选择性去除 O- 异亚丙基的方法非常有价值,因为复杂寡糖全合成中的步骤数可以显著减少。在此我们报道,三氟乙酸(TFA)/ 乙酸酐(AcO)可用于在二 -O- 异亚丙基保护的半乳糖和果糖吡喃糖基体系中,将两个 O- 异亚丙基中的一个区域选择性地转化为邻位二 -O- 乙酸酯,并且该试剂与一些常见官能团如磺酸酯、溴化物、叠氮化物等兼容。
