Abstract:The convenient and straightforward preparation of dideoxy-1,4-and 1,5-iminopentitol derivatives from protected sugar hemiacetals by way of N-tert-butanesulfinyl glycosylamines and open-chain aminoalditols is reported. The synthetic procedure is a method of choice for the making of these important scaffolds of biological interest.
“…With the N,O-acetals (7) in hand, we then explored the addition of benzyl magnesium chloride, or vinylmagnesium bromide onto glycosylamines (SS)-7B, (SR)-7D, (SS)-7D, and (SS)-7G (entries [24][25][26][27][28]. Interestingly, the 1,2-syn aminoalditol compounds were again obtained in good yields (50-84%) as major diastereomers (ca.…”
A comprehensive study of the preparation and reactivity of N‐tert‐butanesulfinyl glycosylamines with simple Grignard and organo lithium reagents in batch vs. continuous flow chemistry is reported. As they readily react as latent imine equivalents with a variety of carbon nucleophiles, these carbohydrate derivatives constitute very useful precursors for the diastereoselective synthesis of bioactive compounds such as iminosugar‐C‐glycosides. A hybrid protocol, involving the addition of benzylmagnesium chloride to a (SR)‐arabinofuranosylamine substrate in flow, at room temperature, combined with a cyclization protocol in batch is also described for the first time. Of note, this semi‐continuous flow process shortens the synthesis of imino‐C‐glycoside scaffolds to a single workday.

A green synthetic route for the synthesis of some potential enzyme active hydroxypiperidine iminosugars including 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-ribitol and 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-dl-arabinitol, starting from commercially available d-ribose and d-lyxose was tested out. Heterogeneous catalysts including Au/Al2O3, SO42−/Al2O3 as well as environmentally friendly reagents were employed into several critical reaction of the route. The synthetic route resulted in good overall yields of 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-ribitol of 54%, 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-d-arabinitol of 48% and 1,5-dideoxy-1,5-imino-l-arabinitol of 46%. The Au/Al2O3 catalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused with no loss of activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
