The use of triethylsilyl deuteride or allyltributyltin as nucleophiles gives access, after removal of the chiral auxiliary, to stereoselectively deuterated primary alcohols or homoallylic secondary alcohols, respectively, with high enantiomeric excesses.

In order to study the influence of structure of the glycans on the conjugation outcomes, an accurate characterization of the prepared neoglycoproteins was performed by a combination of ESI-MS and LC-MS analytical methods. The analyses of the chymotryptic digests of the all neoglycoconjugates revealed six Lys-glycosylation sites with a the following order of lysine reactivity: Lys 1 [ Lys 91 y Lys 31 > Lys 61 y Lys 66. A computational analysis of the reactivity of each lysine residue has been also carried out considering several parameters (amino acids surface exposure and pK a , protein flexibility). The in silico evaluation seems to confirm the order in lysine reactivity resulting from proteomic analysis.

Such a chiral auxiliary was synthesized in an enantiomerically pure form starting from l-mandelic acid. Due to its benzylic nature, it was easily removed from the reaction product of the reductive 1,3-dioxolane ring-cleavage to afford the desired α-deuterated

Research paper thumbnail of Evidence for a nucleophilic anti-attack on the cleaved C(2)–oxygen bond in Cl2AlH-catalyzed ring-opening of 2-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes

Tetrahedron Letters, 2005

The Cl 2 AlH-mediated ring-opening of 2-substituted cis-4-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,3-dioxolanes... more The Cl 2 AlH-mediated ring-opening of 2-substituted cis-4-methyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,3-dioxolanes was found to occur with regioselective cleavage of the O1-C2 bond by attack of the aluminum hydride from the direction anti to the departing oxygen. This stereochemical outcome, which appears to be unprecedented in the reductive cleavage of chiral acetals by aluminum reagents, is interpreted on the basis of theoretical calculations.

Its structure was elucidated by degradation experiments combined with 1D and 2D NMR data. Aloeresin H represents the first C,C-diglucoside discovered in commercial samples of the drug and its polyketide origin can be interpreted in terms of two-chain condensation. Possible conformations of the virtual aglycone were obtained as energy minima by quantum mechanical calculations and were found to be consistent with particular NOE associations observed in the original glucoside. q : S 0 0 4 0 -4 0 2 0 ( 0 2 ) 0 1 4 8 8 -6
