Abstract
Rare ʟ-hexoses, including deoxy ʟ-hexoses, serve as potential chemical probes for carbohydrate-based drug discovery and vaccine development. 6-Deoxy sugars, particularly ʟ-rhamnose, are essential components of bacterial surface glycans, playing a key role in pathogen-host cell recognition and various physiological functions. Herein, we present an alternative and highly efficient ʟ-rhamnosylation utilizing the milder oxo-philic Bi(OTf)3 as the promoter, enabling the assembly of biologically significant α-ʟ-rhamnopyranosides in good yields. The Bi-mediated direct anomeric activation of peracetylated ʟ-rhamnose (ʟ-Rha) is amenable to a wide range of acceptors, including sugars, amino acids, natural products, and bioactive scaffolds. The stereocontrolled glycosylation offers significant advantages, utilizing greener catalysts and atom-economical transformations, avoiding expensive ligands/additives, and tolerating the diverse functional groups.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Research publishes reports of original research in the following areas of carbohydrate science: action of enzymes, analytical chemistry, biochemistry (biosynthesis, degradation, structural and functional biochemistry, conformation, molecular recognition, enzyme mechanisms, carbohydrate-processing enzymes, including glycosidases and glycosyltransferases), chemical synthesis, isolation of natural products, physicochemical studies, reactions and their mechanisms, the study of structures and stereochemistry, and technological aspects.
Papers on polysaccharides should have a "molecular" component; that is a paper on new or modified polysaccharides should include structural information and characterization in addition to the usual studies of rheological properties and the like. A paper on a new, naturally occurring polysaccharide should include structural information, defining monosaccharide components and linkage sequence.
Papers devoted wholly or partly to X-ray crystallographic studies, or to computational aspects (molecular mechanics or molecular orbital calculations, simulations via molecular dynamics), will be considered if they meet certain criteria. For computational papers the requirements are that the methods used be specified in sufficient detail to permit replication of the results, and that the conclusions be shown to have relevance to experimental observations - the authors'' own data or data from the literature. Specific directions for the presentation of X-ray data are given below under Results and "discussion".
