Abstract: | Attempted cyclization of 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-5-seleno-L-arabinose dimethyl acetal in acidic solution gave the corresponding diselenide. Intramolecular attack by the selenobenzyl group at C-5 of 5-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-L-arabinose dibenzyl diseleno-acetal resulted in the formation of benzyl 1,5-diseleno-L-arabinopyranoside. Similarly, 2,3,5-tri-O-methyl-4-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-D-xylose dibenzyl diselenoacetal gave benzyl 2,3,5-tri-O-methyl-1,4-diseleno-L-arabinofuranoside, and 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-5-O-p-tolylsulfonyl-D-xylose (or ribose) dibenzyl diselenoacetal gave benzyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-1,5-diseleno-D-xylo- (or ribo-)pyranoside. The glycosylic benzylseleno group was removed from the pyranoside with mercuric acetate, but attempted deacetylation of the product led to decomposition and not to the expected 5-seleno-D-xylopyranose. |
