Synthesis of Novel Guanidinogalactosides

Abstract

AbstractThis paper involves the preparation of thioureas, which couple with per‐O‐acetylated galactosyl isothiocyanate 1 and 2‐aminobenzothiazole 2 to give incorporating galactosylthiourea derivatives 3. Nucleophilic addition of active primary amine to 3 in the presence of HgCl2 afforded the per‐O‐acetylated guanidinogalactoside 4a‐4d, 5a‐5d, 6a‐6d, 7a‐7d in good yield. These adducts were subjected to deacetylation in MeOH/NaOMe and furnished the corresponding unprotected guanidinogalactosides 8a‐8d, 9a‐9d, 10a‐10d, 11a‐11d. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were established by IR, 1H NMR, MS and elemental analysis.
