Phosphorylated Glycoconjugates Based on Isosteviol, d-Arabinofuranose, and d-Ribofuranose

Abstract

First phosphorylated glycoconjugates were synthesized in three stages on the basis of isosteviol, d-arabinofuranose, and d-ribofuranose. In the first stage, isosteviol reacted with methyl 5-O-(p-tosyl)-2,3-di-O-benzoyl-d-ribofuranoside and methyl 5-O-(p-tosyl)-2,3-di-O-benzoyl-d-arabinofuranoside to give glycoconjugates in which the diterpenoid fragment is linked through ester bond to the carbohydrate C⁵ atom. In the second stage, the anomeric methoxy group in the furanoside fragment was replaced by bromine, and the resulting 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-d-ribofuranosyl and 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-d-arabinofuranosyl bromides were treated with dibutyl phosphate to afford the target phosphorylated derivatives.
