摘要：

The effect of 4,6-O-benzylidene acetals, 4,6-O-phenylboronate esters, and 4,6-O-polystyrylboronate esters on the stereoselectivity of couplings to galacto-, gluco-, and mannopyranosyl thioglycosides, otherwise protected with benzyl ethers, has been investigated by the benzenesulfinyl piperidine/trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (BSP), diphenyl sulfoxide/trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Ph2SO), and N-iodosuccinimide/trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (NIS/TMSOTf) methods. The BSP and Ph2SO methods give comparable results in all three systems whereas the NIS method affords significantly different stereoselectivities in both the gluco and manno, but not the galacto series. The benzylidene acetal and boronate esters influence the stereochemistry in a similar manner in the β-selective manno series and the α-selective galacto series but show significant differences with the glucose donors. The differences between the glucose, galactose, and mannose series reflect the established differences in reactivity and, especially for mannose, those in the anomeric effect and are best interpreted in terms of changes in the relative energetics between the α- and β-covalent triflate intermediates and the various contact ion pairs with which they are necessarily in equilibrium.
