Either 3-O-benzoyl- (2a) or 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-fructopyranose (2b) were regioselectively O-benzylated at C-4 to give 4a and 4b, respectively, which were transformed into 5-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-O-benzyl- (6a) and 5-azido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-L-sorbopyranose (6b) by nucleophilic displacement of the corresponding 5-O-mesyl derivatives 5a and 5b by s...

The transformation of (5R)-2,6-di-O-benzyl-5-C-methoxy-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-aldehydo-D-glucose dimethyl acetal (8) into partially protected derivatives of D-xylo- and L-lyxo-aldohexos-5-ulose has been reported, applying appropriate epimerisation methods to its 3'-O- and 4'-O-protected alcoholic derivatives.

Retention behavior of molecules mostly depends on their chemical structure. Retention data of biologically active molecules could be an indirect relationship between their structure and biological or pharmacological activity, since the molecular structure affects their behavior in all pharmacokinetic stages. In the present paper, retention parameters (RM0) of biologically active 1,2-O-isopropyl...

The TMSOTf-mediated synthesis of β-configured spirocyclic 2-substituted-2-oxazoline ribosides was achieved using a "Ritter-like" reaction in toluene through nucleophilic addition of electron-rich nitriles to the oxacarbenium ion intermediate of 1,2;3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-β-D-psicofuranose derivatives with concomitant intramolecular trapping of the C2 hydroxymethyl group on the electrophilic ni...

Conversion of D-glucose to 4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-ribofuranose, which is a key precursor for the synthesis of different types of bicyclic/spiro nucleosides, led to the formation of an inseparable 1:1 mixture of the desired product and 4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-xylofuranose. A convenient environment friendly Novozyme®-435 catalyzed selective acetylation metho...

1-O-Allyloxycarbonyl (or ethyloxycarbonyl)-2-azido-2-deoxy-3-O-benzyl (or allyl, or benzoyl)-4,6-O-isopropylidene-beta-d-mannopyranose derivatives were prepared from the corresponding 2-hydroxy-beta-d-glucopyranosyl carbonates in high yields via triflation of the 2-hydroxyl group and subsequent SN2 displacement with azide ion. An N-acetyl-mannosamine-containing trisaccharide, a fragment of the ...

6-O-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-Nonafluoro-2-hydroxyheptyl)-, 6-O-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9-tridecafluoro-2-hydroxynonyl)-, and 6-O-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,11-heptadecafluoro-2-hydroxyundecyl)-d-galactopyranose (9, 10, and 11, resp.) were prepared by a two-step synthesis including the reaction of 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-d-galactopyranose with 2-[(perfluoroalkyl)methyl]oxiranes un...
