Abstract

Carbohydrate-based macrocycles can be enantioselective catalysts in certain reactions. Previously, it was proven that the carbohydrate moiety could affect the catalytic activity of the monoaza-15-crown-5 type macrocycles derived from sugars. According to our experiments so far, the most effective enantioselective catalysts were the d-glucose- and the d-galactose-based crown ethers. To obtain more information about the effect of the carbohydrate unit, a rare monosaccharide, d-idose was incorporated into the monoaza-15-crown-5 structure. The key intermediates were methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-α-d-idopyranoside and methyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-β-d-idopyranoside, which were synthesized from d-galactose. The efficiency of the idopyranoside-based crown compounds synthesized was investigated in asymmetric phase transfer reactions. In liquid-liquid biphasic reactions the highest enantioselectivity was 81% ee, while in solid-liquid phase systems the highest asymmetric induction was 67% ee. It was observed that the enantiodiscrimination was strongly dependent on the configuration of the anomeric center, on the side arm of the nitrogen, and on the structure of the substrate.
