Abstract
Conformational investigations using 1D TOCSY and ROESY 1H NMR experiments on 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-C-(4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-erythro-hexopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (8) and related disaccharides showed that for steric reasons the C-linked hexopyranosyl ring occurs in the usually unfavoured 1C4 conformation and reconfirmed the structure of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-C-(4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-α-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose (5). Glycosylation of 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4,6-(R)-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside (13) with acetate 8 using trimethylsilyl triflate as a catalyst afforded the α-D-linked tetrasaccharide 14. A remarkable side product in this reaction was the unsaturated tetrasaccharide 2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-4-O-[4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-2-C-(4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-β-D-erythro-hexopyranosyl)-α-D-erythro-hex-2-enopyranosyl]-α-D-glucopyranosyl 2,3-di-O-benzyl-4,6-(R)-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside (16) where in the C-linked hexopyranosyl ring an isomerization to the β-anomer had taken place to allow for the favoured 4C1 conformation. The tetrasaccharide 14 was deacetylated and hydrogenolyzed to form the fully deprotected tetrasaccharide 18. The 1 C 4 conformation of the C-glycosidic pyranose of this tetrasaccharide was maintained as shown by an in depth NMR analysis of its peracetate 19.
