Abstract
Starting with N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, methyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-xylo-hexofuranosid-5-ulose (18) was prepared in 7 steps. The addition reaction of dimethyl phosphonate to 18, followed by deoxygenation of its 5-hydroxy group, provided the 5-deoxy-5-dimethoxyphosphoryl-D-glucofuranoside derivative (21a). The hydride reduction of 21a, followed by the action of hydrochloric acid and then hydrogen peroxide, afforded the first D-glucosamine analog (23) having a phosphoryl group in the hemiacetal ring. This was converted into the per-O-acetylated N-acetyl-D-glucosamine phospha-sugar (25), while the same treatment of the 5-deoxy-5-dimethoxyphosphoryl-L-idose dimethyl acetal derivative (13b) afforded the N-acetyl-L-idosamine phospha-sugar (29).INTRODUCTION
Various sugar analogs containing nitrogen,1 sulfur,2 or phosphorus3 as a ring heteroatom have been prepared because of the wide interest in their chemical and biochemical properties. Heteroatom-in-the-ring sugar analogs of 2-amino- and 2-acetamido-2-deoxyhexopyranoses, which widely occur as a component of many natural products, have also attracted considerable interest. Azasugar (1)4 and thiasugar analogs (2)5 of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, for example, have been prepared and N-acetyl- glucosaminidase inhibitory activity of the former has been reported.
In view of such a chemical modification by heteroatoms, we have prepared various sugar analogs having a phosphorus atom in the ring (phospha-sugar); e.g., D-glucopyranose (3)6 and D-mannopyranose analogs (4).7 These phospha-sugar analogs are expected to be of interest in view of potential biological activities, such as glycosidase inhibitory activities8 and antitumor activities against leukemia cells.9 Meanwhile, as synthetic N-acetyl-D-glucosamine analogs having phosphorus attached to a sugar-carbon atom, the isosteric phosphonate analog of 1-phosphate (5)10 and the cyclic phosphonate analog (6)11 have been prepared. We describe herein the first synthetic route to the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine phospha-sugar (25), by using our effective procedure12 to introduce a phosphoryl group onto a sugar skeleton; namely addition of a phosphonate to an appropriate hexos-5-ulose derivative and the subsequent deoxygenation.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
For the preparation of the key 5-deoxy-5-dimethylphosphoryl-D-glucose precursors (13a and 21a), two synthetic routes by starting with open-chain and furanose derivatives (7 and 15) of N-acetyl- D-glucosamine were employed (Scheme 1 and 3).
First, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-3,4-O-isopropylidene-D-glucose dimethyl acetal (7) (available from N-acetyl- D-glucosamine in 2 steps)13 served as the starting material for preparation of the 5-ulose intermediate (10) to introduce a phosphoryl group, as illustrated in Scheme 1. The epoxidation of 7 under Mitsunobu’s conditions afforded the 5,6-anhydro derivative (8) (91%), which was then treated with benzyl alcohol and sodium hydride in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) to give the 6-O-benzyl compound (9a) in 87% yield. As an alternative way for preparation of 9a, the 5,6-diol 7 was treated with dibutyltin oxide in refluxed toluene to give 5,6-O-stannylene acetal, which was subjected to the benzylation with benzyl bromide in the presence of tetrabutylammonium iodide in the same solvent,14 providing the 6-O-benzyl derivative (9a) (90% yield) together with a trace amount of the 5-O-benzyl isomer (9b) (2%). Swern oxidation of 9a with oxalyl chloride-DMSO afforded the D-xylo-hexos-5-ulose dimethyl acetal (10) in 95%.
The addition reaction of dimethyl phosphonate to 10 in the presence of DBU gave the (5R)- and (5S)-5-C-dimethoxyphosphoryl-D-xylo-hexose derivatives (11) (26% and 54%, respectively).15 The diastereomeric mixture of 11 was converted to the methoxalyl esters (12) with methoxalyl chloride in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) in 84% yield and then reduced with tributyltin hydride in the presence of AIBN, affording a 72:28 mixture of 5-deoxy products. On structural assignment of the resulting two separable diastereoisomers by 1H-NMR, it turned out that the major isomer was not the expected 5-deoxy-5-dimethoxyphosphoryl-D-glucose derivative (13a) (23%) but the L-idose isomer (13b) (60%).
The large J3,4 values (8.5 and 8.2 Hz) of 13a,b indicate an anti relationship of H-3/H-4 for both isomers. The D-gluco configuration for 13a was assigned on the basis of the small J4,P (9.9 Hz) and J4,5 (4.1 Hz) values and the presence of a long range coupling, 4J3,P (1.5 Hz)12,16 (Figure 1). Similarly, the L-ido configuration for 13b was derived from the relatively large J4,P (18.2 Hz) and small J4,5 (5.3 Hz) values.
Alternatively, methyl 2-acetamido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucofuranose (15) was prepared from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in 4 steps via 14 with a slight modification of reported procedures4,17 (Scheme 2). The epoxidation of 15 under Mitsunobu’s conditions afforded the 5,6-anhydro derivative (16) (87%), which was then treated with benzyl alcohol and sodium hydride to give the 6-O-benzyl compound (17a) in 82% yield. Meanwhile, benzylation of 15 by way of the 5,6-O-stannylene acetal resulted in production of the 6-O-benzyl derivative (17a) (72% yield) and its 5-O-benzyl isomer (17b) (18%) with less selectivity than that from 7. Oxidation of 17a with oxalyl chloride-DMSO afforded the D-xylo-hexofuranosid-5-ulose (18) in 94% yield, while the same reaction with PCC gave 18 in 85%.
The addition reaction of dimethyl phosphonate to 18 in the presence of DBU provided the (5R)- and (5S)-5-dimethoxyphosphoryl-D-xylo-hexofuranoside derivatives (19) (69% and 25%, respectively).15 The diastereomeric mixture of 19 was converted to the methoxalyl esters (20) in 85% yield, which were then reduced with tributyltin hydride, affording the 5-deoxy-5-dimethoxyphosphoryl-D-glucofuranoside derivative (21a) (43%) and its L-idofuranoside isomer (21b) (18%) together with dephosphorylated product 18 (12%). The D-gluco configuration for 21a was assigned on the basis of the large J4,5 value (9.4 Hz) and the presence of a long-range coupling 5J1,P (1.2 Hz), whereas the L-ido configuration for 21b was derived from the large J4,5 value (10.6 Hz) and the presence of 4J3,P (1.2 Hz) and 5J2,P (1.5 Hz) (Figure 1).12,16
Although the reduction from the open-chain 5-O-methoxalyl compound (12) preferentially gave the 5-deoxy-L-ido isomer (13b), the same reaction from the furanoside form (20) afforded 5-deoxy-D-gluco isomer (21a) as a major product. As this reaction proceeds via a radical intermediate formed by a homolytic cleavage of the O–C-5 bond, ratios of the 5-deoxy products (13a:13b and 21a:21b) are not correlated to the diastereomeric ratios of the 5-O-methoxalyl precursors.12 As for the predominant production of the L-ido isomer (13b) from 12, we propose the rotamer A of the radical intermediate from the viewpoint of electronic factors (Figure 2). Namely, the opposition of the 5-phosphoryl group and electronegative 4-O atom diminishes their intramolecular electrostatic repulsion.18 Moreover, the alignment of the σC4–C5 bond with the radical p orbital stabilizes the transition state by hyperconjugation. Meanwhile, as for the predominant production of the D-gluco isomer (21a) from 20, another possible rotamer B was proposed, taking into account both the electrostatic repulsion between two electronegative groups and the steric repulsion between C-6 and the 3-O-benzyl group.19
The major product (21a) was then reduced with sodium dihydrobis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminate (SDMA) to give the 5-phosphino derivative (22), which was immediately treated with hydrochloric acid at 90 °C and then oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to afford 2-amino-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2,5-dideoxy-5- hydroxyphosphoryl-α,β-D-glucopyranoses (23) (Scheme 3).
For the purpose of purification and characterization, compounds 23 were converted to the corresponding 1,2,4-triacetyl-5-methoxyphoshoryl derivatives (24) by treatment with acetic anhydride-pyridine and then trimethylsilyldiazomethane. Debenzylation of 24 by the catalytic hydrogenation over 20% Pd(OH)2-C, followed by acetylation, afforded the fully acetylated N-acetyl-D-glucosamine phospha-sugar (25). By purification on a silica gel column, the 5-deoxy-5-[(R)-methoxyphosphoryl]-α-D-glucopyranose (25a) (7.5% overall yield from 21a), its β-anomer (25b) (2.7%), 5-[(S)-methoxyphosphoryl]-α-D- glucopyranose (25c) (19%), and its β-anomer (25d) (2.3%) were obtained.
The similar treatment of the L-idose dimethyl acetal derivative (13b) afforded 2-amino-3,6-di-O-benzyl- 2,5-dideoxy-5-hydroxyphosphoryl-α,β-L-idopyranoses (27) via 5-phosphino compound 26. The L-idopyranose analogs 27 were also converted to N-acetyl-L-idosamine phospha-sugar (29) via 28: the 5-deoxy-5-[(R)-methoxyphosphoryl]-β-L-idopyranose (29a) (3.4% overall yield from 13b), its α-anomer (29b) (8.3%), 5-[(S)-methoxyphosphoryl]-β-L-glucopyranose (29c) (5.4%), and its α-anomer (29d) (3.0%).
The precise structures of 25a–d and 29a–d were established by the analysis of their 1H-NMR spectra; for all the assignments of the signals, see Table 1. The D-glucopyranose configuration of 25a-d are derived from the large values of J4,5 (11–12 Hz). As for anomeric orientation of C-1, the large J1,2 values (10.5 Hz) of 25b,d indicate the axial H-1 orientation, whereas the small J1,2 values (2.6 Hz) of 25a,c show the equatorial H-1 configuration.3 With regard to the orientation of the ring P=O group, a downfield shift (0.2–0.3 ppm) of H-2,4 for 25a,b compared with those of 25c,d indicates the axial P=O orientation for the former and the equatorial P=O orientation for the latter. In contrast, the small values of J4,5 (5–6 Hz) for 29a–d indicate the L-idopyranose structure and their structural assignments were made by similar characteristic tendency of the corresponding J1,2 values and H-2,4 chemical shifts for 25a-d.
Present work thus demonstrates a convenient way for preparation of 2-acetamido-2,5-dideoxy- 5-phosphoryl-D-glucopyranose from appropriate intermediates. Extension of this work including applications of these findings in synthesizing other phospha-sugar analogs, as well as biological evaluation of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine phospha-sugars, is anticipated to be highly of interest.
EXPERIMENTAL
All reactions were monitored by TLC (Merck silica gel 60F, 0.25 mm) with an appropriate solvent system [(A) AcOEt and (B) 1:9 EtOH-AcOEt]. Column chromatography was performed with Daiso Silica Gel IR-60/210w. Components were detected by exposing the plates to UV light and/or spraying them with 20% sulfuric acid–ethanol (with subsequent heating). Optical rotations were measured with a Jasco P-1020 polarimeter in CHCl3. The NMR spectra were measured in CDCl3 with Varian 600-System (600 MHz for 1H, 151 MHz for 13C, 243 MHz for 31P) spectrometer at 23 °C. Chemical shifts are reported as δ values relative to CHCl3 (7.26 ppm as an internal standard for 1H), CDCl3 (77.0 ppm as an internal standard for 13C), and 85% phosphoric acid (0 ppm as an external standard for 31P). The assignments of 13C signals were made with the aid of 2D HSQC measurements. The MS spectra were measured on a VG-70SE instrument.

2-Acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2,5-dideoxy-5-methoxyphosphoryl-D-glucopyranoses (25a–d). To a solu¬tion of 21a (103 mg, 0.203 mmol) in dry toluene (2.0 mL) was added, with stirring, a solution of 0.34 M SDMA in toluene (2.5 mL, 0.85 mmol) in small portions at –5 °C under argon. The stirring was continued at this temperature for 1.5 h and diluted with benzene. Then, water (0.10 mL) was added to decompose excess SDMA and the mixture was centrifuged. The precipitate was extracted with several portions of benzene. The organic layers were combined and evaporated in vacuo, giving the 5-deoxy-5-phosphino derivative (22) as a colorless syrup: Rf = 0.44 (B).
This syrup was immediately treated with 1:1 2-propanol–0.5 M hydrochloric acid (3.0 mL) at 90 °C for 1 h under argon. After cooling, the mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (1.0 mL), treated with 30% hydrogen peroxide (0.6 mL, 5.9 mmol) at rt for 12 h and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (1.0 mL), treated with propylene oxide (0.5 mL) at rt for 2 h, and evaporated in vacuo to give crude 5-deoxy-5-hydroxyphosphoryl-D-glucopyranose derivatives (23) as a colorless syrup.
his was dissolved in dry pyridine (1.5 mL), and acetic anhydride (0.6 mL, 6.3 mmol) was added at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred at rt for 15 h, diluted with a small amount of cold water, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in methanol and passed through a column of Amberlite IR-120(H+) (10 mL). The eluent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was methylated with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (2M in ether, 0.40 mL, 0.80 mmol) in dry CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) at rt for 3 h. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography with 1:1 EtOH-AcOEt to give an inseparable mixture of the 2-acetamido-3,6-O-dibenzyl-2,5-dideoxy-5-methoxyphosphoryl derivatives (24) as a colorless syrup: Rf = 0.30–0.25 (B).
The compounds 24 dissolved in 1:1 EtOH-AcOEt (2.0 mL) was hydrogenated in the presence of 20% Pd(OH)2-C (3.0 mg) at rt under atmospheric pressure of hydrogen. After 24 h, the catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was acetylated again with dry pyridine (1.0 mL) and acetic anhydride (0.20 mL). The mixture was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was sepalated by column chromatography with a gradient eluent of AcOEt to 1:9 EtOH-AcOEt into two fractions.
The faster-elutiong fraction [Rf = 0.36–0.32 (B)] gave a colorless syrup (17.5 mg), which consisted of the 5-[(R)-methoxyphosphoryl]-α-D-glucopyranose (25a) (7.5% from 21a) and its 5-[(S)-P]-α-isomer (25c) (11.6%), the ratio being estimated by 1H NMR: 1H and 31P NMR, see Table 1. HRMS (FAB): m/z calcd for C17H27NO11P [M + H]+ 452.1322, found 452.1333.
The slower-eluting fraction [Rf = 0.34–0.30 (B)] gave a colorless syrup (11.2 mg) which consisted of 25c (7.2% from 21a), 5-[(R)-P]-β-isomer (25b) (2.7%), and its 5-[(S)-P]-β-isomer (25d) (2.3%), the ratio being estimated by 1H NMR: 1H and 31P NMR, see Table 1.
2-Acetamido-1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2,5-dideoxy-5-methoxyphosphoryl-L-idopyranoses (29a–d). The procederes similar to those for preparation of compounds 25 from 21a were employed. Thus, compound 13b (101 mg, 0.206 mmol) were converted into the diasteromeric L-idopyranoses (29) via intermediates 26, 27, and 28. The crude product 29 was separated by column chromatography into two fractions.
The faster-eluting fraction [Rf = 0.26–0.22 (B)] gave a colorless syrup (10.2 mg), which consisted of the 5-[(R)-methoxyphosphoryl]-β-L-idopyranose (29a) (3.4% from 13a), its 5-[(R)-P]-α-isomer (29b) (4.3%), and 5-[(S)-P]-β-isomer (29c) (3.2%), the ratio being estimated by 1H NMR: 1H and 31P NMR, see Table 1. HRMS (FAB): m/z calcd for C17H27NO11P [M + H]+ 452.1322, found 452.1311.
The slower-eluting fraction [Rf = 0.24–0.20 (B)] gave a colorless syrup (8.5 mg) which consisted of 29b (4.0% from 13b), its 5-[(S)-P]-β-isomer (29c) (2.2%), and 5-[(S)-P]-α-isomer (29d) (3.0%), the ratio being estimated by 1H NMR: 1H and 31P NMR, see Table 1.

15. Although (5R)- and (5S)-5-hydroxy compounds (11, 19) have no hydrogen atom at C-5 position, their C-5 configurations were assigned by comparing with the corresponding 5-deoxy compounds (13a,b and 21a,b) because the similar characteristic tendency of the corresponding coupling constants and the chemical shifts is expected due to almost identical conformations.
