Abstract: | Diphenylmethylation of carbohydrate hydroxyl groups may be effected by the thermal reaction with diazo(diphenyl)methane in the absence of catalysts. Migration of the labile ester groups of methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-α-d-glucopyranoside and 3-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucofuranose does not occur during diphenylmethylation by this procedure. The diphenylmethyl group may be readily removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis, and is sufficiently acid-stable to enable the selective hydrolysis of acetal groups. Its use as an O-4 protecting-group and as a non-participating O-2 protecting-group in α-glycoside synthesis has been demonstrated in syntheses of methyl 2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-α-d-glucopyranoside and kojibiose octa-acetate, respectively. |
