Lanthanum Trifluoromethane-sulfonate-Catalyzed Facile Synthesis of Per-O-acetylated Sugars and Their One-Pot Conversion to S-Aryl and O-Alkyl/Aryl Glycosides
Lanthanum trifluoromethanesulfonate-catalyzed solvent-free per-O-acetylation with stoichiometric acetic anhydride proceeds in high yield (95%-99%) to afford exclusively pyranose products as anomeric mixtures. Subsequent anomeric substitution employing borontrifluoride etherate and thiols or alcohols furnished the corresponding 1,2-trans-linked thioglycosides and O-glycosides, respectively, in good to excellent overall yield (75%-85%). Alternatively, reaction of free sugars in neat alcohol employing the same catalyst at elevated temperature gives the corresponding 1,2-cis-linked O-glycosides (along with 1,2-trans-linked glycosides as minor product) in good yield (73%-80%). Anomeric mixtures of compounds thus produced were characterized as their per-O-acetylated derivatives.
