Synthesis of postulated molecular probes: Stereoselective free-radical-mediated C-glycosylation in tandem with hydrogen transfer
Reported herein is a strategy employing an addition reaction in tandem with a hydrogen-transfer reaction for the elaboration of C-glycoside-based sialyl Lewis X (sLe(x)) analogues. Significant stereocontrol was noted when alkyl radicals were reacted with a series of alkoxytaconates. Transition states were proposed to explain the obtained selectivity. Further reaction between an anomeric-centered fucosyl-derived radical and a galactosylated hydroxytaconate provided easy access to C,O-diglycosides as mimics of sLex. In this case, two 1,3-distant stereocenters were created with high diastereoselectivity using free radical intermediates in a tandem process.
