Abstract

The diastereomeric substituted 2H-dihydropyran derivatives 2b and 3b were obtained by the stereoselective cycloaddition of (E)-4-(tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl)-1-(thiazol-2-yl)but-2-en-1-one (1) with either of the enantiomeric chiral vinyl ethers (R)-4 or (S)-4. Reduction of the ester group, transformation of the thiazole ring into an aldehyde group and reaction with an excess of borane afforded the final C-(1→3)-disaccharide structures. The obtained C-(1→3)-disaccharides, containing an L- or D-deoxy-arabino-hexopyranose moiety at the reducing end, were characterized as peracetylated methyl glycosides 9a, 9b and 12a, 12b.
