Synthesis of furanosyl alpha-C-glycosides derived from 4-chloro-4-deoxy-alpha-D-galactose and their cytotoxic activities

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Jun 15;17(12):3454-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.03.079. Epub 2007 Mar 30.

Abstract

Condensation of a new unnatural sugar 1 with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride gave the polyhydroxyalkyl-furans in excellent yields. Further modification afforded the corresponding furanosyl alpha-C-glycoside derivatives. The absolute configuration of 3-acetyl-2-methyl-5-(2'-chloro-D-galacto-tetritol-1-yl)-furan was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of these furanosyl C-glycosides were also investigated.
