SYNTHESIS OF ANELLATED ANHYDROPYRANOSES ON THE BASIS OF 1,6-ANHYDRO-3-DEOXY-4-METHYLSULFANYL-3-[(METHYLSULFANYL)METHYLENE]-β-D-ERYTHRO-HEXOPYRANOS-2-ULOSE

Abstract

(Z)-1,6-Anhydro-3-deoxy-4-methylsulfanyl-3-[(methylsulfanyl)methylene]-β-D-erythro-hexopyranos-2-ulose (1) reacted with diethyl malonate, 1,3-diketones, N-aryl-3-oxobutyramides and dialkyl 3-oxoglutarate, respectively, in the presence of potassium carbonate and crown ether to yield diethyl 2-(1,6-anhydro-4-methylsulfanyl—D-arabino-hex-2-ulopyranos-3-ylmethylene) malonate (2), 1-{(1R,2S,8S,9R)-2-hydroxy-4-methyl-8-methylthio-3,11,12- trioxatricyclo7.2.1.0^2,7dodeca-4,6-dien-5-yl} ethanone (3), (1R,2S,12S,13R)-2-hydroxy-12-methylthio-3,15,16-trioxatetracyclo[11.2.1. 0^2,11. 0^4,9] hexadeca- 4(9),10-dien-8-one (4), (1R,8S,9R)-5-acetyl-3-aryl-8-methylthio-11,12-dioxa- 3-azatricyclo-[7.2.1.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7),5-dien-4-ones (5,6) and dialkyl (1R,8S,-9R)-4-hydroxy-8-methylthio-11,12-dioxatricyclo[7.2.1.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7),3,5-triene-3,5-dicarboxylates (7,8), respectively.
