Abstract

Acyl-protected mixed carbonates were effectively decarboxylated by catalytic amounts (2-5 mol%) of hafnium(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate in dichloromethane at room temperature to give the corresponding β-glycosides in excellent yields.

Key words

Typical Experimental Procedure for the Decarboxylative Glycosylation: To a solution of a mixed β-carbonate (0.1 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (1 mL) with stirring at ambient temperature was added a metal triflate. After the reaction was completed, a saturated solution of NaHCO₃ was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine twice, dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and evaporated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give the corresponding glycosides.

Selected analytical data for the compounds 7b, 7c, 8a and 8d are shown. All the other glycosides are also fully characterized.

Competition Experiment: To a solution of 9 (32.4 mg, 0.050 mmol) and 10 (33.3 mg, 0.050 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (1 mL) with stirring at ambient temperature was added Hf(OTf)₄ (1.3 mg, 0.02 equiv). After 20 min, a saturated solution of NaHCO₃ was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine twice, dried with Na₂SO₄, filtered, and evaporated. The crude product was carefully purified by silica gel column chromatography so as not to lose any of the generated glycosides. The mixture of glycosides and the authentic glycosides were analyzed by HPLC (eluent: 0.5% IPA in n-hexane).

Preparation of Authentic Glycosides for the Competition Experiment: Authentic glycosides (13-16) were synthesized by decarboxylative glycosylation promoted by trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate [5c] from the corresponding mixed β-carbonates (9-12).

Evolution of carbon dioxide (90% yield) was confirmed by measuring the volume of generated gas with a buret filled with water. Spaces in the reaction vessel and the buret were dynamically separated by silicon oil that cannot dissolve carbon dioxide.
