Popis: Glycosylation of decan-1-ol (2), (±)-decan-2-ol (3), and (±)-methyl 3-hydroxydecanoate (4) with L-rhamnose peracetate 5 to produce rhamnosides (=6-deoxymannosides) 6, 7, and 8 in the presence of Lewis acids BF3⋅Et2O, Sc(OTf)3, InBr3, and Bi(OTf)3 was studied (Table 1). While the strong Lewis acids BF3⋅Et2O and Sc(OTf)3 were effective as glycosylation promoters, they had to be used in excess; however, glycosylation required careful control of reaction times and temperatures, and these Lewis acids produced impurities in addition to the desired glycosides. Enantiomerically pure rhamnosides (R)-1 and (S)-1 (Fig.) were obtained from L-rhamnose peracetate 5 and (±)-benzyl 3-hydroxydecanoate (9) via the diastereoisomeric rhamnosides 10 (Table 2; Scheme 3). The much weaker Lewis acids InBr3 and Bi(OTfl)3 produced purer products in high yield under a wider range of conditions (higher temperatures), and were effective glycosylation promoters even when used catalytically (
