Summary: | Simultaneous and stepwise deprotection of the fully benzylated D-glucosyl esters of 1-benzyl N-benzyloxycarbonyl- and N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-L-glutamic acid (1 and 5, respectively) have been examined. Catalytic hydrogenation of 1 led to intramolecular aminolysis to give pyroglutamic acid and D-glucose, but similar treatment in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid afforded both anomers of 1-O-(L-gamma-glutamyl)-D-glucopyranose, which were characterized as trifluoroacetates (2alpha and 2beta) and converted into 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-O-[1-methyl N-(acetyl)-L-glutam-5-oyl]-D-glucopyranose (4) which was also prepared by a definitive method. Hydrogenolysis of 5 gave both anomers of 1-O-[N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-gamma-glutamyl]-D-glucopyranose (6), which, upon treatment with trifluoroacetic acid at - 10 degrees, afforded 2alpha and 2beta, respectively. The structure of 6beta was established by its conversion into 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-O-[1-methyl N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-glutam-5-oyl]-beta-D-glucopyranose (7beta), whereas similar treatment of 6alpha gave a mixture of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-[1-methyl N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-glutam-5-oyl]-alpha-D-glucopyranose (9) and 7alpha. A 1 leads to 2 acyl migration occurred during esterification of the aglycon carboxyl group of 6alpha with diazomethane to give 2-O-[1-methyl N-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-L-glutam-5-oyl]-alpha-D-glucopyranose (8). |
