The purpose of this work was the preparation of specifically blocked !2_-glucose derivatives with a free hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon

(C-1) (Fig. 1.1).

Such corrpounds should provide routes to monosaccharide derivatives with reactive :r;.ep;ative groups such as chloro or bromo on that carbon. These compounds could then be used for oligosaccharide synthesis. To contribute to the knowledge of the structure of a particular oligo- saccharide, the method for its preparation 1nust be such that the reaction takes place between ill10WD positions on the reacting saccharides, as otherwise several structural isomers.are possible. The restriction of the reaction to predeterm:i.ned positions is accornplished by blocking all the hydroxyl groups except those between which the condensation is to occur. A blocking ~~oup is used to trclllsforrn a reactive group 16 on an organic molecule into a relatively stable group. Miyai outlines the following requirements for a useful blocking group: 2

1. 'Ihe blocked compound should be prepared in high yield in

a simple manner.

2. The reaction between the blocking agent and the group to be

blocked must be selective and stereospecific.

3. The chemical properties of the blocking group must be such

that it can be removed again selectively without altering

the rest of the molecule.

4. 'Ihe blocking group must not intermolecularly or intramolecularly

participate in any reaction at the reactive sites.

In carbohydrates the dominant functional group is the hydroxyl group; even the carbonyl function, by forming a hemiacetyl, produces a hydroxyl. The most widely used blocking groups for hydroxyl groups ax'e ether and groups. The work in our laboratory has, for a long time, centered al'ound benzyl glycos1des. In 1957, JVIcCloskey15 reviewed the chemistr-y of benzyl ethers and benzyl glycosides. Benzyl ethers of sugars are of value as synthetic intermediates because the benzyl blocking group can be removed under mild conditions by hydro- genolysis according to the following equation: (Pd) c H cH 0R + H >- c H cH + HOR 6 5 2 2 6 5 3

Steric factors seem to play an important role in these hydrogenolyses. 2 In 1951, Ballou, Roseman, and Link reported that the relative rates of hydrogenolysis of anomeric benzyl glycopyranosides are quite different.

With Q-glucose derivatives, the {3 -!?_-glucoside was cleaved in three minutes, but the cC -P.:-glucoside required eight hours under comparable 3

conditions. ~:his difference has been linked to the stereochemistry of the groups on C-1 and C-2. In the {3 anomer, the groups are trans, while in the ct. anomer the groups are cis . Steric or neighboring group effects are thus probably responsible for the observed difference in rates. The availability of methods for the preparation of certain of these benzyl ethers in high yield and their relatively inert nature in general, has made them especially useful. It is of particular value to the sugar chemist that the benzyl aglycon can be removed without reduction of the sugar hemiacetal function. Chiu prepared benzyl 6 glycosides which also contained a 4,6-0-benzylidene blocking group.

When hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group was atten~ted for these compounds a mixture of products,' some of which showed cleavage of the 4,6-0- benzylidene group, was obtained.

Due to the partial success of the benzyl glycoside protective 6 group, Chiu prepared p·--n:i.trobenzyl glycosides in an effort to find

a blocking group. that could be more selectively removed.

The p-n:i.trobenzyJ. ester group has been used many times for the 18 synthesis of biologically active polypeptides.17 Schwarz and Arakawa

used p-nitrobenzyl in the synthesis of peptides which also

contained carbobenzoxy bloc.king groups. When ordinary benzyl ester blocking groups were used, the required selective cleavage of the

carbobenzoxy group with HBr in glaei.aJ. acet:l.c acid was not always

assured. They found no free peptide cD.rboxylic groups, however, when

they used p-n:Ltrobenzyl esters. This finding indicates increased acid

stability for p-nitrobenzyl groups. On the other hand, p-nitrobenzyloxy 11

carbonyl groups can be removed with great ease by catalytic hydrogena.t:lon. It was even possible to remove this blocking group from a cysteine ,peptide. 3 Normally, the poisoning of the catalyst by sulfur containing substrates precludes such a hydrogenolytic removal. Since they are similar to benzyl glycosides, p-nitrobenzyl glycosides usually crystallize well. The aglycon can be removed under very mild conditions, not only by acid, but also by hydrogenation. p-Nitrobenzyl ethers are hydrogenated much faster than ordinary benzyl ethers.6 Thus, selective removal in the presence of other benzyl or benzylidene groups is feasible. The p-·nitrobenzyl blocking group appears to meet all of the requirements listed above. Commonly used acetyl blocking groups were thought to be unsatis- factory for the blocking of the hydroxyl groups on C-2 and C-3 of our D-glucose derivatives because of their alkali lability. It had also been found that acetyl groups at C-2 participate in nucleophilic displacements at the glycosidic carbon with the intermediate formation of acetoxonium ions. 20 The final products will often retain the ring structure between C-1 and C-2, for example in orthoester type corrpounds. Wulff and Rohle20 observed that the ability of pyranosyl halide esters to undergo such neighbouring group reactions, with formation of cyclic ortho esters, was strongly dependent upon the relative stereo- chemistry c:md conforrnation of the leaving group at the glycosidic carbon. Reactivity of the leaving group at C-1 is also influenced by the blocking groups at C-2 or C-6. Fletcher ru1d Inch9 produced the. 5

(3 -nEthyl glycoside from 2-acetamido-1-0-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-0-benzyl·-

2-deoxy-/3 -~-glucopyranose by boiling it in nEthanol. The acetyl function is converted to the free acid. However, 2-acetamido-tetra-

0-acetyl-2-deoxy-B-~-glucopyranoside, with an ester function at C-6, is stable under these methanolysis conditions, indicating a less reactive 1-0-acetyl group. In these cases the ester function at C-1 is trans to the aceta- mido group at C-2 . When no nucleophilic displacement occurs, however, acyl migrations involving C--1 and C-2 are often linked to a cis- configuration of the involved groups. Nonnal, otherwise unblocked, 1-0-acylaldoses having a trans relationshi.p between the ester group at C-1 and an hydroxyl group at C-2 are comparatively stable substances, while the corresponding cis corrvounds readily undergo rearrangement, the acyl group mlgraUng to C-2. It was noted that whi.le the acylaldoses which are benzylated at C-6 undergo rearrangement, those which were acylated at C-6 did not.9 Inorder to exclude all participations by C-2 substituents, a new nonparticipating blocking group, that was stable to alkali, was necessary for blocking the hydroxyl groups at C-2 ~:md C-3. 11 In 1909 Hoering and Baum reported and patented a synthetic procedu~e for the methoxymethylation of the phenolic hyrn~oxyl group of salicylaldehyde jn 33% yield from the sodium salt. A better pro­ cedure was found by LaForge13 in 19 33. When he treated the sodiwn salt of salicylaldehyde with chloromethyl methyl ether in dry toluene, he obtained a 93% yield of the nEthmwmethyl derivative; Stern, English, and Cassidy19 found the methoxymethyl group to be ideal for 6

the blocking of phenolic hydroxyl groups in the production of poly- vinyl phenols, since the methoxymethyl gt:>oup ls stable in the presence of organometallics but much less stable to acid than other ether blocking 1 groups. M.A. Abdel-Rahman, ~t al. used the methoxymethyl group in the preparation of morphine analogues. More recently, Corey7 has used it in the preparation of prostaglandins.

The methoxy!l'Bthyl blocking group appears to be synthetically useful to sugar chemists because of its relatively mild introduction ani removal conditions. It also appears to fulfill all the require-

!l'Bnts for useful blocking groups, outlined nbove. It was thought, and subsequently found, that ·the methoxymethyl gr>oup might be introduced via a trimethyl silylated intermediate. SilyJ.a:Cion as an auxiliary

1 method of organic synthesis was reviewed by B:lrkofer an.d Ritter. ~ The term silylation il3 used to denote the lntJ:'oduetion o.f triorganosilyl moieties, espedally the trimethyl species, into organic compounds. 4

It has been shown that hydroxyl groups can be· silylated with trimethylsilyl 12 azide , and acidic or basic reaction conditions typical .for other

, silylation reagents could be avoided. The trlorganosilyl moiety in organic compounds can either be replaced wl t:.h other functional groups or may be used as a protective group in orga.n:Lc synthesis. Trimethylsilyl groups are sensitive to acid and base, and. arc; also typically removed by hot or water. Thus, the derived cornpovnds in this work should have no acyl or. other groups at C-;~ or C-·6 whlch can interfer with reaction at C-1. The ft.ndings of Pletchor and Inch9, that show the influence of the C-·6 substituent on r•es.c.tl.vity of C-1 groups. have 7

10 already been discussed. Frechet and Schuerch have postulated that the acyl at C-6 interfers primarily due to orbital overlap of the carbonyl function with the ring oxygen in the transition state. This decreases the electron donation stabiliz~tion of a carbonium ion at

C-1 by the ring oxygen. Also, Frechet and Schuerch found that the fraction of anomeric glucosides produced in oligosaccharide synthesis varied from over 90% o( to over 90% ~ depending on the nature of the C-6 group.10 Such influence or interference was to be excluded in this work by the use of a benzylidene group, linking e-Ll and C-6.

The following chemical properties were predicted and desired for the title compound, or for compounds derived from it. The 4,6-0- benzylidene group should exclude C-6 from participation. The p-nitro- benzyl group :Jhould be se1ecti.ve1y removable by catalytic hydrogenation leaving the 4,6-Q.-bem!:ylidene group intact. The m=thoxymethyl group should exclude C-2 from participation. IVETHODS AND DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

In order to show that the p-nitrobenzyl blocking group can be selectively hydrogenated in the presence of a 4,6-0-benzylidene group for nonnitrogenous glucose derivatives, a number of precursors had to be prepared, starting from £-glucose. Tetra-0-acetyl-(i( -£-glucopyranosyl bromide (II) (Figure 2 .1) was prepared by acetylation of anhydrous £-glucose with acetic anhydFlde in the presence of perchloric acid. The mixture of the pentaacetates j_n glacial acetic acid solution, without isolation, was treated with red phosphorous and bromine to generate hydrogen bromide in situ and to give compound (II) .14 The (3 -anomer of compound (II) was not present in the final p:•oduct. p-Nitrobenzyl tetra-0-acetyl-/3 -£-glucopyranoside (III) was prepared by treatment of compound (II) with p-nitrobenzyl in the presence of mercuric cyanide and mercuric trifluoroacetate .

.A. large excess of p-nitrobenzyl alcohol was found disadvantageous for this preparation due to the difficulty of separating the p-nitro­ benzyl glycoside (III) from the excess p-nitrobenzyl alcohol. The relative cunounts used, in fact, were nearly equirnolar. Compout1d (III) was then de_;aeetylated with dilutepotassium pydroxide in dioxane and methanol to give p·-nitrobenzyl (3 -£-gluco­

pyranm>ide (IV). This compound vms extremely difficult to crystallize

in the presenee of water and i.t was important to use anhydrous ethanol for the :ceerysta11ization.

p-Ni.trobenzyl 4,6-0-benzyli.den-/.3 -)2:-glucopyranoside (V) (Figure 2.1) was prepared by stirring compound (IV) with anhydrous zinc chlori.de 8 and benzaldehyde. Care had to be taken to exclude all water. The yi.eld was poor• i.n the presence of water because the reaction is reversible.

For that reason zi.nc chloride was freshly fused, and was carefully sti.rred as it cooled in order to granulate the mass.

The presence of the acid sensiti.ve benzylidene group and of the base sensitive p-nitrobenzyl group precluded the use of the cormnon trimethylsilylation mlxtures5 for the preparation of compound (VI)

(Figure 2. 2) . Trimethylsilyl azide was prepared by refluxing tri.­ methylsilyl chloride with dry sodium azide. (Both the chloride and the azide cc-u.me severe headaches when inhaled even in mlnute amounts and it is ir;Iperative that this reaction be carried out in an efficient hood. ) 'l'he trimethy1si.lyl azide was directly distilled into the reaction vessel with compound (V) and ref'luxed to give p-nitrobenzyl

4 ,6-0-benzylidene-2, 3-di-0-trimethylsilyl-/3 -P;-glucopyranoside (VI) .

Excess trirnethylsilyl azide was distilled at normal pressure first to reclaim it, and then under vacuum to remove all unreacted traces.

Compound (VI) was found to be 0table in water suspension but when boiled with very dilute base it was de-silylated to compound (V).

If any mineral acid was present the product had to be washed with d1lute sodlum bicarbonate solution before recrystallization to prevent removal of the 4,6-0-benzylidene group.

Compound (VII) (Figure 2. 2) was also prepared by refluxing compound

(VI) in an oil bath at 40°C with chloromethyl methyl ether in dimethyl- formarnide at reduced pressure. The trjJnethylsilylchloride produced by the reaction was removed as it was formed and did not cause cleavage of the 4,6-0-benzylidene blocking group. Refluxing at atmospheric pressure was accompanied by decomposition of Inaterial and the purification of products was extremely difficult.

The corrpletely blocked compound (VII) was reacted in a varlety of ways to determine the conditions for selective removal of the blocking gr0ups. The selective removal of the benzylidene group or of the p-nitrobenzyl group was possible from ·compound (VII) (Figure 2. 3).

V.Jhen con-pound (VII) was hydrogenated i:t1 dioxane ln the presence of palladium on charcoal, the nitro group was quantitatively and specifically converted to an amino group, and compound (VIII) was obtained. However, when aqueous methanol was used as solvent for the hydrogenation of compound (VII), the aglycon was quantitatively removed and compound (X) was obtained. Alternatively, compound (VIII) could be hydrogenated to give (X) in aqueous methanol. The products of the hydrogenations from (VII) to (VIII) and from (VII) to (X) were obtained in almost quant:Ltative yield. However, the yield of (X) ·.....

Melting points were taken in a 'l'homas-Hoover melting point apparatus model No. 6404H. All melting points reported herein are uncorrected. Optical rotations were measured at the sodium D line with an O.C. Rudolph and Sons) Inc., model No. 956 Polarimeter. The homogeneity of all corr~ounds synthesized was determined by thin layer chromatography using a mixture of two parts Silica Gel G (Merck) with one part Silica Gel GF (Merck), the plates being activated by heating at 140°C for three hours. The plates were developed with a variety of solvents stutable to produce Rf values between 0.2 and 0.7.

The compounds were detected by extinction of the untraviolet fluorescence of a zinc-~silicate indicator and also by subsequent spraying with sulfuric acid ( 10-15%) - methanol and heating about 20. minutes at 140° C. The microanalyses were performed by Microanalytisches Laboratorium Beller)

The overall yield of the title cor~ound, p-nitrobenzyl 4,6-0- benzylidene-2, 3-cli-0-methoxymethyl-f3 -£-glucopyranose VII, from D­ glucose was 46%. The various blocking groups could be selectively removed. The p-nitrobenzyl blocking group on C-1 proved to be removable by hydrogenation with retention of the Ll ,6-0-benzylidene blocking group. By stirring co~ound VII overnight in benzene with a trace of trifluoroacetic acid, the 4,6-0-benzylidene group was found to be removable with retention of the methoxymethyl groups on C-2 and C-3.

Alternatively, by treating compound VII with one equivalent of acetyl chloride in methanol for five minutes, both the 4,6-0-benzylidene group and the methoxymethyl groups could be removed together.

All of the corr:poLmds prepared in this work are easily crystallized.

No syrups or oils were encou;·1tered, probably due to the p-nitrobenzyl and 4,6-0-benzylidene groups which were used. The experimental yields range·from 72% to 96%. The easy introduction and removal of the p-nitrobenzyl and methoxymethyl protective groups make them excellent prospects for use in oligosaccharide synthesis. BIBLIOGRAPHY
