Synthesis of Biologically relevant Β-Linked Hetryl C-Glycosides Using 1-Formyl Glucal
Main Article Content
Abstract
This chapter focuses on synthesizing biologically relevant β- linked hetryl C-glycosides using 1-formyl glucal. Glycals have many uses in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. They are commonly used as glycosylation donors, meaning they can react with other monosaccharides to form a longer chain of monosaccharides called oligosaccharides. Glycals can also have interesting applications in studying biological systems, particularly enzymes. Glycoconjugates play a significant role in cell recognition processes and this has prompted the synthesis of many glycoconjugates via the glycal methodology. The presence of unsaturation and C-1 substitution make them good substrates in several reactions. In recent years C-1 functionalized glycals have emerged as key carbohydrate precursors in a variety of synthetic transformations leading to carbohydrate mimetics. In such compounds broad structural variations are possible due to the presence of α-β unsaturation, offering the potential for improving drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic properties.
