Abstract
Abstract Methyl 6,7-dideoxy-7-isothiocyanato-α- d - gluco ( manno )( galacto )-heptopyranosides have been synthesized in four steps by homologation of the respective methyl hexopyranosides via the corresponding heptopyranosydurononitriles. Neither intra- nor intermolecular thiocarbamate formation was observed, even under rather strenuous acidic or basic conditions. The reducing derivative 6,7-dideoxy-7-isothiocyanato-α- d - gluco -heptopyranose was also a stable compound in aqueous solution in the absence of base. Formation of a six-membered intramolecular cyclic thiocarbamate was achieved in DMF solution in the presence of triethylamine. The title compounds are the first examples of stable fully unprotected monosaccharide isothiocyanates.
