| Abstract | |
In the present work two different synthetic routes for the synthesis of seleno-carbohydrates were developed starting from the readily available carbohydrates D-xylose and D-galactose. Furthermore, we developed a strategy for the synthesis of glycoconjugates and disaccharides, with the two basic units linked by a selenium atom. Through simple and efficient synthetic strategies, we obtained a series of heterocyclic compounds with high potential for biological application. For the synthesis of xilofuranosides derivatives, D-xylose 1 was initially converted into diol 3, through an intermediate bis-acetonide 2. Selective tosylation of the primary hydroxyl, followed by reaction with selenium nucleophiles resulted in the synthesis of seleno-carbohydrate 5a-j. Additionally, the compound 5a was converted into methylglycosyl derivatived 6 by deprotection of the acetonide and reaction with methanol in acidic medium. The reaction of tosylate 4 with Li2Se2 and Li2Se resulted in the formation of the diselenide and selenide 7 and 8. Subsequently, a series of functionalized seleno-carbohydrates were prepared by reductive cleavage of 7 and reaction of the resulting selenide anion with selected electrophiles. In order to expand the scope of the work, the synthesis of galacto-pyranosides containing selenium was pursued, according to the previous strategy. Thus, D-galactose 12 was converted to bis-acetonide and then the primary hydroxyl was converted into the corresponding tosylate and mesylate 13 and 14. Mesylate 14 was used to provide the seleno-carbohydrate 15a-e and 16. Moreover, the diselenide 17 was prepared from tosylate 13, and when cleaved with NaBH4, the resulting selenide anion was trapped with selected electrophiles, leading to functionalized seleno-pyranosides. Among the compounds prepared, the diselenide 7 significantly reduced the in vitro activity of the enzyme δ-aminolevulinate dehydratase, while the phenylselenide 5a increased enzyme activity, which points to a promising antioxidant activity. In the second part of the work, the reactivity of seleno-carbohydrates has been exploited in the synthesis of glycoconjugates 22 from the regioselective opening of chiral N-Boc aziridines 23 (A). In a second strategy β-amino-diselenides 24 were used as a source of the selenium nucleophile, reacting with tosylate 4 with lower efficiency (B). Additionally, we developed a strategy for the synthesis of disaccharides linked by a selenium atom by a reaction glycosylselenolate with another functionalized glycosyl unit. (AU) | |
