Michael-Type Addition to 2-Nitrogalactal - A Simple Method to Access 1,1-Linked Oligosaccharides

Abstract

Anomeric O-unprotected sugars add to 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-nitro-d-galactal to accomplish nitro group-containing 1,1-linked oligosaccharides in respectable yields with good selectivities. A 1:1 mixture of toluene and n-heptane has been found as the appropriate solvent system for these Michael-type additions. The nitro group-containing 1,1-linked oligosaccharides are easily convertible into interesting trehalosamine analogues.

General Procedure for the Michael-Type Addition:
To a solution of anomeric O-unprotected sugar (0.16 mmol) in toluene (1 mL), t-BuOK (0.16 mmol) was added at 0 °C. After 10 min, a solution of 1 (0.19 mmol) in toluene-n-heptane mixture (1:2, 3 mL) was added to it. The reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for the specific period of time given in Table [1] . Few drops of HOAc were added to quench the reaction. It was taken in EtOAc, washed with H₂O, and sat. brine, dried over anhyd MgSO₄, and concentrated. Purification of the crude residue by chromatography on silica gel afforded the 1,1-linked oligosaccharide.
