Abstract

In this letter, we report an approach to the stereoselective α-glycosylation of l-fucose that is exemplified by effect of anomeric configuration. The neighboring group participation is not compatible with α-glycosylation of l-fucose, therefore the remote participation by 4-O-Bz was employed to control the formation of 1,2-cis-glycosidic bond. Furthermore, we found the anomeric configuration of fucose donor is crucial to stereoselectivity of the glycosylated products. The α/β-mixed products were generated by using β-anomeric donor while the glycosyl donor in α configuration yielded products in high α-selectivity possibly due to the distinct pathway to forming the key intermediates. This phenomenon supplies the basis for the synthesis of complicated natural carbohydrates containing fucose α-glycoside, such as fucoidans, fucosylated N-glycans, and fucosylated chondroitin sulfates, etc.

Key words

α-l-fucoside - stereoglycosylation - thioglycoside donor - anomeric configuration - remote participation

  • 25 General Procedure for Fucosylation of 4α with AcceptorsTo a solution of compound 4α (10 mg, 0.0225 mmol, 1 equiv) and acceptor (0.0248–0.225 mmol, 1.1–10 equiv) in 500 μL anhyd Et2O with argon protection was added 4 Å MS. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 h and then cooled to 0 °C, then NIS (10.1 mg, 0.045 mmol, 2 equiv) and TMSOTf (0.4 μL, 0.00225 mmol, 0.1 equiv) were added. The mixture was stirred for 0.5 h after which TLC indicated full conversion and quenched with Et3N. The mixture was filtered, evaporated, and purified by column chromatography to afford product.
