Novel Carbohydrate-Based Mono- and Bidentate Oligosilyl Ethers

Abstract

Regioselective one-pot O-silylation reactions of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose and 1,2-O-isopropylidene-β-d-fructopyranose using bulky oligosilyl groups are described. Some new silylating reagents (oligosilyl bistriflates), which were generated in situ from readily available phenylsilanes, resulted in 5,6-O-(glucofuranose) and 4,5-O-bridged (fructopyranose) carbohydrates with favoured seven- and eight-membered rings. In these cyclic oligosilyl diethers, three and four ring atoms, respectively, are Si atoms. It is noteworthy, that the seven-membered ring of 5,6-O-[2,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,1,1,3,3,5,5,5-octamethylpentasilan-2,4-diyl]-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose was expanded to an eight-membered ring by regioselective insertion of aerial oxygen into one of the Si-Si bonds. X-ray analyses of some derivatives are presented.

Key words

silyl triflates - bridging protecting groups - carbohydrates - hydrodesilylation

Because of the low solubility of unprotected d-glucose and d-fructose in dichloromethane, silylations could not be carried out with these parent compounds.
