Abstract
Phenylboronic acid esters are formed by the three common 2-deoxy aldoses: 2-deoxy-d-erythro-pentose (‘2-deoxy-d-ribose’), 2-deoxy-d-lyxo-hexose (‘2-deoxy-d-galactose’), and 2-deoxy-d-arabino-hexose (‘2-deoxy-d-glucose’). The major species that was formed from equimolar quantities of boronic acid and the aldose, was the 3,4-monoester of the pentopyranose in a skew-boat conformation, and the 4,6-monoester in the case of the two hexopyranoses. A double molar quantity of boronic acid led, for both 2-deoxy-hexoses, to the diester of the open-chain aldehydo isomer as the major product: the 3,5:4,6-diester for the lyxo-configured deoxy-hexose, and the 3,4:5,6-diester of the arabino-configured isomer. Minor products of all reactions were identified by a combined NMR/DFT methodology.
