The synthesis of α-galactosylceramide (KRN7000) and its C-6 modified analogs remains a challenge due to the difficult α-1,2--glycosidic bond. A non-participating benzyl (Bn) protecting group has been commonly used to favor the α-glycosylation product. Here, we report the α-selective glycosylation by using a bulky 4,6-O-di--butylsilylene (DTBS) galactosyl donor, regardless of the 2-benzoyl (Bz) participating group. Compared with Bn, Bz groups can be selectively removed in basic conditions without impacting the C-6 azide modification. The azide has the potential for clicking with alkyne or being easily transformed to other functional groups.
由于α-1,2-糖苷键合成困难,α-半乳糖神经酰胺(KRN7000)及其C-6修饰类似物的合成仍然是一个挑战。一种非参与性苄基(Bn)保护基团通常被用于促进α-糖基化产物的生成。在此,我们报道了使用一种庞大的4,6-O-二叔丁基硅亚烷基(DTBS)半乳糖基供体进行α-选择性糖基化反应,而无需考虑2-苯甲酰基(Bz)参与基团。与Bn相比,Bz基团可以在碱性条件下被选择性去除,而不会影响C-6叠氮化物修饰。叠氮化物具有与炔烃发生点击反应的潜力,或者可以很容易地转化为其他官能团。
