Use of O-thallium(I) salts in the synthesis of phosphate, sulfite, and related ester derivatives of carbohydrates
1981
Abstract O -Thallium(I) salts are shown to promote a variety of rapid, high-yield, substitution reactions at an anomeric, a primary, or a secondary position of carbohydrate derivatives. Syntheses are described of phosphates, phosphites, sulfites, and xanthic ester derivatives. Preparation of the thallous salt involves a facile exchange between thallous ethoxide and an alcohol group of the carbohydrate. The substitution reaction with the appropriate reagent ( e.g. , a phosphorochloridate) is then conducted in such solvents as benzene or acetonitrile, in which thallous salts are usually soluble. The configuration of an organo-phosphate moiety introduced at the anomeric position is strongly influenced by the choice of solvent, so that a preponderance of either the α- or β-phosphate may be obtained.
