Mild and Efficient Hydrolysis of Thioglycosides to Glycosyl Hemiacetals Using N-Iodosaccharin [1]

Abstract

A convenient methodology has been developed for the mild hydrolysis of thioglycosides to the corresponding hemiacetals using N-iodosaccharin without any requirement of co-activator. Most of the functional groups used for the protecting group ­manipulation of carbohydrates remain unaffected under the reaction conditions.

Key words

carbohydrate - hydrolysis - thioglycoside - hemiacetals - N-iodosaccharin

Typical Experimental Procedure: To a solution of thioglycoside (1.0 mmol) in MeCN-H₂O (10:1; 5 mL) was added N-iodosaccharin (1.5 mmol) at r.t. and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for the time mentioned in Table [1] . After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude mass was purified over SiO₂ using hexane-EtOAc as eluent to furnish the pure glycosyl hemiacetal as an anomeric mixture. Products of all known compounds gave acceptable ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra that matched the data reported in the cited references. [28]
