A One-Pot Method for Removal of Thioacetyl Group via Desulfurization under Ultraviolet Light To Synthesize Deoxyglycosides

Abstract

We herein developed an efficient method for removing thioacetyl to synthesize acylated deoxy glycosides in a one-pot reaction, where the thioacetyl was selectively deacetylated by hydrazine hydrate in DMF within 2-5 min at room temperature, followed by desulfurization under UV light for 1-2 h in the presence of TCEP·HCl. The method was then used to synthesize 2-deoxy glycosides with absolute α/β-configuration via stereoselective control of C-2 thioacetate in glycosylation.
