Date: April 8, 2013 Carbohydrate families: All aldoses are called “reducing sugars” because of the aldehyde group; they reduce certain metal ions and can be easily oxidized. Two well known reagents for reducing sugars are: 1) Ag(I) → Ag (0) in NaOH/H2O (Tollens test) 2) Cu(II)SO4 (blue) in NaOH/H2O → red Cu2O (Benedict’s reagent) Note: In addition to aldoses, ketoses are also reducing sugars. α-Hydroxyketones in general react with these reagents and can readily be oxidized. aldotriose: aldotetraoses: pentoses: O H O H O H O H O H H OH H OH HO H H OH H OH H OH H OH H OH HO H L!

The two stereoisomers are referred to as anomers, designated α or β according to the configurational relationship between the anomeric center and a specified anomeric reference atom. The anomeric reference atom and the anomeric configurational symbol (α or β): The anomeric reference atom is the configurational atom of the parent, unless multiple configurational prefixes are used. If multiple configurational prefixes are used, the anomeric reference atom is the highest-numbered atom of the group of chiral centers next to the anomeric center that is involved in the heterocyclic ring and specified by a single configurational prefix. In the α anomer, the exocyclic oxygen atom at the anomeric center is formally cis, in the Fischer projection (i.e., the same side with respect to the carbon main chain), to the oxygen attached to the anomeric reference atom; in the β anomer these oxygen atoms are formally trans. The anomeric symbol α or β, followed by a hyphen, is placed immediately before the configurational symbol D or L of the trivial name or of the configurational prefix.

  • Structural Features
    1 Structural features As defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry gly- cans are structures of multiple monosaccharides linked through glycosidic bonds. The terms sugar and saccharide are synonyms, depending on your preference for Arabic (“sukkar”) or Greek (“sakkēaron”). Saccharide is the root for monosaccha- rides (a single carbohydrate unit), oligosaccharides (3 to 20 units) and polysac- charides (large polymers of more than 20 units). Carbohydrates follow the basic formula (CH2O)N>2. Glycolaldehyde (CH2O)2 would be the simplest member of the family if molecules of two C-atoms were not excluded from the biochemical repertoire. Glycolaldehyde has been found in space in cosmic dust surrounding star-forming regions of the Milky Way galaxy. Glycolaldehyde is a precursor of several organic molecules. For example, reaction of glycolaldehyde with propenal, another interstellar molecule, yields ribose, a carbohydrate that is also the backbone of nucleic acids. Figure 1 – The Rho Ophiuchi star-forming region is shown in infrared light as captured by NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Explorer. Glycolaldehyde was identified in the gas surrounding the star-forming region IRAS 16293-2422, which is is the red object in the centre of the marked square. This star-forming region is 26’000 light-years away from Earth. Glycolaldehyde can react with propenal to form ribose. Image source: www.eso.org/public/images/eso1234a/ Beginning the count at three carbon atoms, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxy- acetone share the common chemical formula (CH2O)3 and represent the smallest carbohydrates. As their names imply, glyceraldehyde has an aldehyde group (at C1) and dihydoxyacetone a carbonyl group (at C2).

Levinson Cornell University 2016 Part I: Fungi serve as a rich source of prenylated indole alkaloids, which exhibit important biological activities including antiproliferative, antibiotic, and antihelminthic properties. Their promise as therapeutics, coupled with their diverse and complex molecular architectures, have made prenylated indole alkaloids popular targets for synthetic chemists in order to probe their activities and develop new synthetic methods. Herein, we describe the first total synthesis of aspeverin, a unique bridged carbamate-containing prenylated indole alkaloid isolated from Aspergillus versicolor. We also describe the synthesis of a closely related congener, penicimutamide A, isolated from a mutant strain of Penicillium purpurogenum. These molecules belong to a recently described subclass of prenylated indoles thought to be degradation products of parent bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane congeners. In this research, we showcase a highly diastereoselective Diels−Alder cycloaddition, followed by an electrophilic Rawal arylation – reductive indolization to forge the pentacyclic scaffold of these natural products. A novel sequence for installation of a geminal dimethyl group was also developed.

Disaccharides with a free hemiacetal group (Reducing disaccharide) ii. Disaccharides without a free hemiacetal group (Non- Reducing Disaccharide) 10:51 AM 3 Nomenclature of Reducing Disaccharides • A disaccharide in which one glycosyl unit appears to have replaced the hydrogen atom of a hydroxyl group of the other is named as a glycosylglycose. The locants of the glycosidic linkage and the anomeric descriptor(s) must be given in the full name. • The parent sugar residue in such a reducing disaccharide is chosen on the basis of the following criteria: • The parent sugar residue is the one that includes the functional group most preferred by general principles of organic nomenclature.

  • 1 General Aspects of the Glycosidic Bond Formation Alexei V
    j1 1 General Aspects of the Glycosidic Bond Formation Alexei V. Demchenko 1.1 Introduction Since the first attempts at the turn of the twentieth century, enormous progress has been made in the area of the chemical synthesis of O-glycosides. However, it was only in the past two decades that the scientificworldhadwitnessedadramatic improvement the methods used for chemical glycosylation. The development of new classes of glycosyl donors has not only allowed accessing novel types of glycosidic linkages but also led to the discovery of rapid and convergent strategies for expeditious oligosaccharide synthesis. This chapter summarizes major prin- ciples of the glycosidic bond formation and strategies to obtain certain classes of compounds, ranging from glycosides of uncommon sugars to complex oligosac- charide sequences. 1.2 Major Types of O-Glycosidic Linkages There are two major types of O-glycosides, which are, depending on nomen- clature, most commonly defined as a-andb-, or 1,2-cis and 1,2-trans glycosides. The 1,2-cis glycosyl residues, a-glycosides for D-glucose, D-galactose, L-fucose, D-xylose or b-glycosides for D-mannose, L-arabinose, as well as their 1,2-trans counter- parts (b-glycosides for D-glucose, D-galactose, a-glycosides for D-mannose,etc.),are equally important components in a variety of natural compounds. Representative examples of common glycosides are shown in Figure 1.1. Some other types of glycosides, in particular 2-deoxyglycosides and sialosides, can be defined neither as 1,2-cis nor as 1,2-trans derivatives, yet are important targets because of their com- mon occurrence as components of many classes of natural glycostructures.
