Stereocontrolled Synthesis of 6′-Deoxy-6′-Fluoro Derivatives of Methyl α-Sophoroside, α-Laminaribioside, α-Kojibioside and α-Nigeroside

Abstract
Sequential tritylation, benzoylation and detritylation of D-glucose, followed by resolution of the crude product by chromatograpEy gave crystalline 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-benzoyl-α- (1) and β-D-glucopyranose (2). Compound 1, 2, and the corresponding methyl α-glycoside 5 were treated with dimethylaminosulfur trifluoride (methyl DAST) to give, respectively, the 6-deoxy-6-fluoro derivatives 3, 4, and 6. Crystalline 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-6-deoxy-6-fluoro-α-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (10) could be obtained from either 3, 4, or 5 by reaction with dichloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride. Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate-promoted reaction of 10 with methyl 2-O-(9) and 3-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside (8) gave the corresponding, (β-linked disaccharidës in high yield. Subsequent deprotection afforded the 6′-deoxy-6′-fluoro derivatives of methyl α-sophoroside (13) and methyl 6′ -deoxy-o′-fluoro-α-laminaribioside (16). Condensation of 8 and 9 with 6-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl chloride in the presence of silver perchlorate was highly stereoselective and produced the α-linked disaccharidës 17 and 21, respectively, in excellent yield. Deacetylation of 17 and 21, followed by fluorination of the resulting alcohols 18 and 22 with methyl DAST and subsequent hydrogenolysis, gave 6′-deoxy-6′-fluoro derivatives of methyl α-kojibioside and methyl α-nigeroside 20 and 24, respectively.
