The synthesis and NMR spectra of l,2:3,4-di-0-isopropylidene-6-O-[(3-triphenylstannyl)propyl]-a-D-galactopyranose (4), 3-(triphenylstannyl)propyl a-D-galactopyranoside (6), obtained by hydrostannation of 6-0-allyl-l,2:3,4-di-0-isopropylidene-a-D-galactopyranose (3) and allyl a-D-galactopyranoside (5), respectively, and l,6-anhydro-3,4-0-isopropylidene-2-O-[(triphenyl-stannyl)methyl]-ß-D-galactopyranose (8), produced from Ph 3 SnCH 2 I and 1,6anhydro-3,4-0-isopropylidene-ß-D-galactopyranose (7), are reported. The solution conformations of the carbohydrate rings in 4, 6, and 8 are similar to those in the non-stannylated precursor molecules, 3, 5 and 7. Furthermore, an X-ray diffraction study of 8 indicated a similar carbohydrate core structure to that found for solid 7: the tin centre in 8 has a tetrahedral geometry. Both the mono-iodotin derivatives, l,6-anhydro-2-0-[(iododiphenylstannyl)methyl]-3,4-0isopropylidene-ß-D-galacto-pyranose (12), and [3-(iododiphenylstannyl)propyl] a-Dgalactopyranoside (11) are 4-coordinate species in solution; in contrast, 6-<9-[3-(iododiphenylstannyl)propyl]-l,2:3,4-di-0-isopropylidene-a-D-galactopyranose (9) is a 5-coordinate species in CDC1 3 solution. The sugar unit in 9 is thus a more effective chelating ligand than are either of the sugar units in 11 and 12.
INTRODUCTION.We recently reported 1 the synthesis and NMR spectra of a family of 6-0-[(l,2:3,4-di-0-isopropylidene)-a-D-galactopyranosyl)]methyl-tin compounds, (1). The crystal structure of one member of this series, (1; η = 1, m = 0) 2 , has been determined, as has that of the monoiodo species, (1; m = 1, η = 2, R = I) 1 . These mono-, di-and tri-saccharide derivatives, (1), were obtained via the reactions of appropiate iodomethyltin reagents with l,2:3,4-di-0-isopropylidene-a-D-galactopyranose, (2). η •m-n ( 1 ) m = 0; η = 1-3 m = 1-3; n= 1; R = Me m = 3; n= 1; R = Bu 251 Brought to you by | Purdue University Libraries
