The commercial availability of 6-deoxy-L-sugars is limited, with only L-rhamnose and L-fucose readily accessible. The current methods for synthesizing rare sugars like 6-deoxy-L-idoside are complex, inefficient, and involve multiple protection and deprotection steps, resulting in low yields and high production costs.
This invention presents a novel and efficient process for synthesizing 6-deoxy-L-idoside from L-Rhamnose. The process involves a series of regioselective protections, triflation, and nucleophilic displacement reactions to transform L-rhamnose into valuable 6-deoxy-L-sugar derivatives like 6-deoxy-L-idoside.
- Regioselective protection of hydroxyl groups in L-Rhamnose
- Triflation and nitrite anion-mediated inversion techniques
- Cascade inversions for the synthesis of 6-deoxy-L-hexoses
- Streamlined synthesis process for 6-deoxy-L-hexoses
- Utilizes inexpensive and readily available L-rhamnose
- Improves overall yield and efficiency compared to existing methods
- Cost-effective production suitable for industrial applications
The prototype involves a step-by-step synthesis process starting from L-Rhamnose, employing selective protection, triflation, and inversion reactions to produce 6-deoxy-L-idoside in higher yields.
The process has been successfully developed and demonstrated at the laboratory scale, with potential for scaling up for industrial production.
