Reactivity, Selectivity, and Synthesis of 4-C-Silylated Glycosyl Donors and 4-Deoxy Analogues was written by Jaeger Pedersen, Martin;Pedersen, Christian Marcus. And the article was included in Angewandte Chemie, International Edition in 2021.Reference of 582-52-5 This article mentions the following:
A method for introducing dimethylphenylsilyl at the 4-position in carbohydrates has been developed. Two C-silylated glycosyl donors were prepared via levoglucosenone, starting from cellulose. The glycosylation properties were studied using three glucoside acceptors, a 3-OH, 4-OH, and 6-OH. Compared with the 4-deoxy variant, it was found that the anomeric selectivity was influenced more by the C-2 substituents orientation than the silyl in the 4-position. In general, the reactivity of these donors was higher than the corresponding 4-deoxy-analog, albeit a competition experiment showed that the introduction of a C-Si increases the relative reactivity by a modest factor of around two. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (3aR,5S,6S,6aR)-5-((R)-2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol (cas: 582-52-5Reference of 582-52-5).
(3aR,5S,6S,6aR)-5-((R)-2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyltetrahydrofuro[2,3-d][1,3]dioxol-6-ol (cas: 582-52-5) belongs to tetrahydrofuran derivatives. Tetrahydrofuran and dihydrofuran form the basic structural unit of many naturally occurring scaffolds like gambieric acid A and ciguatoxin, goniocin, and some biologically active molecules. THF (Tetrahydrofuran) is also used as a starting material for the synthesis of poly(tetramethylene ether) glycol (PTMG), etc.Reference of 582-52-5
