1,5 AND 1,4-ANHYDROKETOSES, METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 1,5-AND 1,4-ANHYDROKETOSES, INTERMEDIATES, AND USES OF 1,5-AND 1,4-ANHYDROKETOSES

摘要

The present invention relates to 1,4- and 1,5-anhydro-D-ketoses (monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and various glycoconjugates), e.g. 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose. Moreover, the invention provides synthetic methods and novel intermediates and precursors suitable for their preparation. The methods include catalytic- and/or pyrolitic sulfenic acid elimination of corresponding ß-hydroxy sulfoxides, N-deprotection of N-substituted-aminoglycals, O-deprotection of carbohydrate enolethers and/or O-acyl-substituted carbohydrate enols, and regio- and stereoselective modification and subsequent chemical transformation of bicyclic and/or tricyclic 1,4- and 1,5-anhydro-glycoderivatives. Furthermore, the present invention provides novel applications of 1,4- and 1,5-anhydroketoses within pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries.
