An approach to the total synthesis of cyclodextrins is outlined. Intramolecular glycosylative cyclizations are investigated as the key step, using appropriately protected malto-oligosyl fluorides, for successful synthesis of completely protected cyclomalto-hexa-, hepta-, and -octaoses. Deprotection of these intermediates afforded the desired, unsubsituted cyclodextrins.

Cyclodextrins, products of the degradation of starch by an amylase of B a c i l l u s macerans(1), have been studied i n terms of chemical modifications, mainly for the purpose of developing e f f i c i e n t enzyme mimics(2). Not only their unique c y c l i c structures, but also their a b i l i t y to form inclusion complexes with suitable organic molecules, led us to investigate the t o t a l synthesis of t h i s class of molecules(3)· We describe here an approach to a t o t a l synthesis of a l p h a ( l ) , gamma(2), and "iso-alpha" cyclodextrin (3).

Retrosynthetic analysis of cyclodextrins led us to design a l i n e a r , key intermediate 4 which could be suitable for a possible intramolecular g l y c o s y l a t i o n for the synthesis of alpha, gamma, and some isomeric cyclodextrins, according to the kind of protective group at C-6 of the nonreducing glucopyranosyl residue. [A] Synthesis of eyeloma1tohexaose (alpha cyclodextrin) We f i r s t describe a synthesis of alpha cyclodextrin. The synthetic plan i s shown i n Scheme 1 . An immediate precursor for 1 could be the perbenzylated precursor 5, which could be cleaved to give a l i n e a r glucohexaosyl f l u o r i d e 6. This key intermediate 6 i s obtainable from the maltose d e r i v a t i v e s 8 and 9 through the intermediacy of the glucohexaose d e r i v a t i v e 7.

Synthesis of the glycosyl acceptor and donor.

Having a g l u c o b i o s y l f luoride 9 and a g l y c o s y l acceptor 8 thus e f f i c i e n t l y prepared, g l y c o s y l a t i o n conditions using both compounds were examined with respect to the kind of solvent and Lewis acid to be employed. In the presence of SnCl2(9)1 AgOS0 CF^, and powdered molecular sieves i n Et 0, compounds 8 and 9 afforded a 1.8:1 mixture of 14 and 15 i n 80% y i e l d as w e l l as the 1,6-anhydro d e r i v a t i v e 16 (15%)· Other g l y c o s y l donors carrying either chlorine or trichloroacetimidate i n place of f l u o r i n e gave i n f e r i o r r e s u l t s i n t h i s p a r t i c u l a r instance.

F i r s t , compound 14 was transformed into a g l y c o s y l acceptor 17, which was then glycosylated by use of 2 equivalents of the donor 9 under the same conditions as already described to give a 2:1 mixture of 7 and 18 i n 65% y i e l d .

[B] Synthesis of cyclomaltooctaose (gamma cyclodextrin) A synthetic approach to gamma cyclodextrin was a l s o examined by use of the technology developed i n [A]. Two routes for the preparation of a glucooctaosyl intermediate 25 were examined. In a f i r s t approach, the glucohexaosyl acceptor 24-, r e a d i l y obtained from 7 (Scheme 6) was glycosylated with 5·5 equivalents of the donor 9 to give a 21% y i e l d of the desired intermediate 25 as w e l l as a 5-4-% y i e l d of the isomeric product 26. As a second approach, the glucotetraosyl f l u o r i d e 19 was treated with an equivalent amount of the glucotetraosyl acceptor 17 to give a 27% y i e l d of a 3:1 mixture of 25 and the β-anomer. However, i n this reaction, a major product was found to be the undesired 1,6-anhydro d e r i v a t i v e 27, i s o l a t e d i n 30% y i e l d . As the y i e l d of the desired product 25 by both routes was comparable and the preparation of glucotetraosyl donor 19 requires 3

[C] Synthesis of iso-alpha cyclodextrin In the previous section we observed that intramolecular g l y c o s y l a t i v e c y c l i z a t i o n leading to alpha cyclodextrin was 2.Λ times more e f f i c i e n t i n terms of the y i e l d obtained than that leading to gamma cyclodextrin. We have examined how r e g i o s e l e c t i v e this type of c y c l i z a t i o n i s when the 4->6-diol d e r i v a t i v e 30 is used to give 31 and 32. Product 32 may be regarded as an iso-alpha cyclodextrin derivative. The synthetic plan i s shown i n Scheme 10. When used i n combination with a g l y c o s y l acceptor 17, the glucobiosyl donor 33 (which carries different kinds of a c y l protective groups on 0-Λ and 0-6'), may be suitable for the preparation not only of 30 but a l s o of other intermediates carrying different functional groups at C-6 of the nonreducing-end glucopyranosyl residue of 30. !
