Abstract
A novel isomerization of O-allyl glycosides into prop-1-enyl glycosides was observed instead of cross-metathesis during an olefin metathesis reaction using Grubbs' ruthenium benzylidene catalyst (Cy3P)2RuCl2=CHPh (1), N-allyltritylamine, and N,N-diisopropylethylamine as necessary auxiliary reagents. In the search for a better catalytic system, it has been found that dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II), [(C6H5)3P]3RuCl2, (2) was much more efficient for the isomerization of allylic ethers. The labile prop-1-enyl group was easily hydrolyzed using HgCl2-HgO and the hemiacetals (25-32) were isolated in excellent yields (ca. 90%).Key words: allyl ether, carbohydrate, Grubbs' catalyst, isomerization, metathesis, deprotection.
