Approaches to Deoxy Oligosaccharides of Antibiotics and Cytostatics by Stereoselective Glycosylations

Joachim Thiem Organisch-Chemisches Institut, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Orléans-Ring 23, D-4400 Münster, Federal Republic of Germany Problems associated with stereoselective glycosy­ lations in the 2-deoxy sugar series are outlined and exemplified. General solutions are provided for the 2-deoxy-α-glycosides employing the N­ -iodosuccinimide glycosylation. The 2-deoxy-βglycosides are available via certain 2-bromo­ -2-deoxyglycosyl bromides accessible from simple isopropylidene derivatives by dibromomethyl methyl ether reactions. Syntheses of four different E-D-C trisaccharides of the various aureolic acids are reported that make extensive use of these procedures. A novel approach for the preparation of the G-B-A trisaccharide gly­ coside of class II anthracyclines is described. Here the combined azide --N-iodosuccinimide procedure is applied to construct a precursor of the aminodeoxy sugar unit. After subsequent N-iodosuccinimide glycosylations, the precursor trisaccharide is converted straightforwardly into the target molecule.
