Abstract:
The stereochemical and conformational factors controlling the intramolecular hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) reaction between the two pyranose units in a (1-->4)-O-disaccharide when promoted by a primary 6-O-yl radical are studied. Models with alpha-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp, alpha-L-Rhamp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Galp or alpha-D-Manp-(1-->4)-beta-L-Gulp skeletons led exclusively to the abstraction of the hydrogen from H--C-5' and the formation, through a nine-membered transition state, of a 1,3,5-trioxocane ring system in a stable boat-chair conformation. Notwithstanding, derivatives of alpha-L-Rhamp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Glcp or alpha-D-Manp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Galp exclusively abstract the hydrogen from H--C-1' through a seven-membered transition state and, therefore, lead to an interglycosidic spiro ortho ester.

Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred to as...
