Abstract

The stereoselectivity of cycloaddition of sugar-containing substituted 1-(thiazol-2-yl)but-2-en-1-ones 1 and vinyl ethers was studied using the achiral vinyl ether/chiral catalyst as well as the chiral vinyl ether/achiral catalyst combinations. It has been shown that Eu(fod)3-catalyzed cycloaddition of oxadienes 1a-1e with the chiral vinyl ethers 9 and 10 affords stereoselectively almost pure cycloadducts 11a-11e and 12a-12e, respectively. The obtained cycloadducts are suitable precursors for the synthesis of α-C-(1→3)-disaccharides, containing 2-deoxy-arabino-hexopyranose moiety of D- or L-configuration.
