Abstract
The synthesis, structure analysis by X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy (including also 1H 1HNOE measurements), as well as molecular mechanics and dynamics of d-xylopyranose conjugates of 2-(indol-3-yl)ethanol (1) and 2-phenylethanol ( 2) are described. The per- O-acetylated derivatives of 2-(indol-3-yl)ethyl β- d-xylopyranoside (4β) and 2-phenylethyl β- d-xylopyranoside (7β) were prepared [along with corresponding α- d-isomers (4α and 7α) and 1,2- O-orthoacetates (5,8)] by Koenigs-Knorr condensation of the aglycone alcohols with 2,3,4- tri-O- acetyl-α- d- xylopyranosyl bromide. Glycoside 4β was deprotected to yield 2-(indol-3-yl) ethyl β- d-xylopyranoside (6). The crystal structures of 4β and 7β were determined. The crystals of both compounds are monoclinic, space group P 2 1 with a = 11.985(1), b = 7.317(1), c = 12.428(1) A ̊ . β = 93.2(1)°, Z = 2 (4β); a = 5.809(1), b = 19.833(1), c = 8.912(1) A ̊ , β = 106.0(1)°, Z = 2 (7β) . The β- d-xylopyranose rings are in the 4C 1 chair conformation. The results of the theoretical conformational analysis are compared with the values obtained from the experimental measurements in solid state and solution.
