Abstract

The condensation of 3-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-xylo- hexodialdo-1,4-furanose (obtained in six steps (35%) from D-glucurono-6,3-lactone) with the lithium enolate of (+/-)6-endo-chloro-5-endo-(methoxymethoxy)-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-o ne (derived in six steps (25%) from the Diels-Alder adduct of furan to 1-cyanovinyl acetate) was highly exo face selective giving two major aldols that were separated readily. One of them was converted to 6,10-anhydro-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-9-O-(methoymethyl)-alpha-D-ara bino-L-ido-7-undeculofuranose-(1,4)-pyranose-(7,3), a semiprotected form of the long-chain carbohydrate moiety of the herbicidins. The synthesis implies the acid-promoted isomerization of 10,11-anhydro-5,7-dideoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-9-O-(methoxymethyl)-7-C-[ (2-nitrophenyl)selenomethyl]-beta-L-ido-L-ido-undecofuranose.

Glucose

Glucose is a sugar with the molecular formula . Glucose is overall the most abundant monosaccharide, a subcategory of carbohydrates. Glucose is mainly made by plants and most algae during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide, using energy from sunlight, where it is used to make cellulose in cell walls, the most abundant carbohydrate in the world. In energy metabolism, glucose is the most important source of energy in all organisms. Glucose for metabolism is stored as a polymer, in plants mainly as starch and amylopectin, and in animals as glycogen.

Biochemistry

Biochemistry or biological chemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at explaining living processes through these three disciplines. Almost all areas of the life sciences are being uncovered and developed through biochemical methodology and research.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition

The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition is a chemical reaction between a 1,3-dipole and a dipolarophile to form a five-membered ring. The earliest 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions were described in the late 19th century to the early 20th century, following the discovery of 1,3-dipoles. Mechanistic investigation and synthetic application were established in the 1960s, primarily through the work of Rolf Huisgen. Hence, the reaction is sometimes referred to as the Huisgen cycloaddition (this term is often used to specifically describe the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between an organic azide and an alkyne to generate 1,2,3-triazole).
