Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have designed and made use of two classes of glycosyl donors with unusual conformations. 2,6-Lactones are rigidly fixed to a boat-like conformation and offer 1,2-cis-β-stereoselective glycosylations through stereoinvertive mechanisms, whereas 3,6-loosely-bridged glucoses are supple and offer 1,2-cis-α-stereoselective glycosylations via the corresponding glycosyl cations. The latter allowed us to synthesize record-small cyclodextrins, which are composed of three or four sugar residues.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
生体反応では,糖の多様な立体配座を巧みに駆使し,高効率な反応を実現しているのに対し,化学的グリコシル化反応では,38の(準)安定配座のうち,極めて限られた配座のみが用いられてきた.一方,本研究では,従来活用されてこなかった配座に固定された糖(配座固定糖)や,従来よりも容易に配座を転換できる糖(配座柔軟化糖)をデザイン・合成し,それらが,糖質の精密合成において威力を発揮することを示した.
