Abstract
The stereospecifically labeled 6-monodeuterio methyl 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-α- and β-D-glucopyranosides were synthesized with a view to determining their side chain conformations. NMR studies in D2O at pH 5 and pH 11 reveal both anomers to adopt very predominantly the gt conformation consistent with the gauche conformation of 2-aminoethanol and its acetate salt. In contrast, as also revealed with the help of stereospecifically-labelled monodeuterio isotopomers, the methyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-α- and β-D-glucopyranosides are an approximately 1:1 mixture of gg and gt conformers as is found in glucopyranose itself.

1. Introduction
Ongoing projects in our laboratories necessitated knowledge of the side chain conformation of the 2-amino-2-deoxy- and especially the 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxyglucopyranosides. On the basis of numerous X-ray crystallographic and NMR spectroscopic studies the hydroxymethyl side chain of glucopyranose and its glycosides is considered to populate an approximately 60:40 equilibrium mixture of the staggered gg and gt conformations; the tg conformer being destabilized by dipolar repulsions between the C6-O6 and C4-O4 bonds (Figure 1).1–3

Staggered Conformations of the Side Chain in the Hexopyranoses Illustrated for Methyl α-D-Glucopyranoside
Analysis of the H5-H6R and H5-H6S coupling constants of ~9.2 and 3.1 Hz, respectively, led Bock and Duus to conclude that the side chain of methyl 6-amino-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside 1 exists as an 80:16:4 mixture of the gg, gt, and tg conformers in acidic solution (pH <1 and 4.75), and as a 70:30 mixture of gg, and gt conformers in aqueous base (pH >12).1 However, in the absence of the crucial rigorous assignment of the H6R and H6S resonances the coupling constants are also consistent with the tg conformer being the most populated state of 1.1 This ambiguity precludes the use of 1 as model for the side chain conformation of the 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxyglucopyranosides and prompted the synthesis and conformational analysis of both anomers, 2 and 3, of methyl 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-D-glucopyranoside stereospecifically deuterium labeled at the pro-6R site that we report here. Also reported are the syntheses and conformational analysis of both anomers, 4 and 5, of 6S-monodeuterio-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranoside.
2. Results and discussion
Although shorter methods for the stereospecific introduction of deuterium into the hydroxymethyl group of the hexopyranosides based on asymmetric reduction of the corresponding aldehydes exist,4–6 we have preferred to adapt the earlier Meguro route based on the photobromination and deuteriodebromination of 1,6-anhydrohexose derivatives because of its unambiguous nature.7–10 Accordingly, white light stimulated bromination of 1,6-anhydro-D-glucopyranose triacetate 6 in α,α,α-trifluorotoluene11 gave 78% of the 6-exo-bromide 7, which was reduced with tributyltin deuteride in hot toluene to give the 6-exo-deuterio 1,6-anhydroglucose 8 in 82% yield (Scheme 1). Zemplen deacetylation then gave a triol which on reaction with toluenesulfonyl chloride in pyridine gave the 2,4-di-O-tosylate 9 in 82% yield for the two steps. Subsequent exposure to sodium methoxide in methanol afforded 77% of the galacto-configured epoxide 10 that on treatment with benzyl alcohol under Lewis acidic conditions gave the 4-O-benzyl derivative 11 in 78% yield. Treatment of 11 with sodium methoxide resulted in the manno-epoxide 12 in 88% yield, which on heating with sodium azide in hot aqueous DMF, followed by benzylation of the intermediate alcohol gave the 1,6-anhydroglucosamine derivative 13 in 83% yield. Opening of the 1,6-anhydro ring with trifluoroacetic acid in acetic anhydride then gave the stereoselectively mono-deuteriated glucosamine derivative 14 in 83% yield.

Subsequent treatment of 14 with HCl in hot methanol gave the methyl α- and β-glycosides 15α and 15β in 42 and 25% yield, respectively, which, on hydrogenolysis over Pearlman’s catalyst gave the target compounds 6S-2H-4 and 6S-2H-5 in good yield (Scheme 2).

Sulfonylation of anomers 15α and 15β gave the 6-O-sulfonate esters 16 and 18 in excellent yield, which, on exposure to sodium azide in hot aqueous DMF gave the respective 6-azido-6-deoxy derivatives 17 and 19 in excellent yield with clean inversion of configuration (Scheme 3). Finally, hydrogenolysis of 17 and 19 afforded the methyl 2,6-dideoxy-2,6-diamino-α- and β-glucosides 6R-2H-2 and 6R-2H-3 in good yield (Scheme 3). Authentic samples of non-deuteriated 2, 4 and 5 were either commercial or were obtained by literature methods, while an authentic sample of 3 was prepared by routine methods as described in Scheme 4 from the known12 N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivative 20 of methyl β-D-glucosaminide.

The H5-H6R coupling constants for 2 and 3 of 8.8 and 9.2 Hz and the corresponding and H5-H6S coupling constants of 2.8 and 2.9 Hz in aqueous acetic acid (Table 1), are comparable to those (~9.2 and 3.1 Hz) recorded for methyl 6-amino-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside 1 by Bock and Duus at pH 4.75.1 Accordingly, we conclude that i) the H6R and H6S resonances of 1 were correctly assigned and ii) that the side chains of 1, 2 and 3 populate very similar equilibrium mixtures of conformers, calculated on the basis of the Haasnoot-Altona equation13 to be a 16:80:4 gg:gt:tg ratio for 1 by Bock and Duus.1 On going from pH 5 (Table 1) to pH 11 (Table 2) there is only minimal change in the H5-H6R and H5-H6S coupling constants for 2 and 3, indicating that the predominance of the gt conformation for these glycosides is maintained in basic solution. Similarly, the H5-H6R and H5-H6S coupling constants for 4 and 5 in both aqueous acetic acid (Table 1) and basic D2O (Table 2) deviate little from those reported1 for the methyl α-D- and β-D-glucopyranosides in water indicating that similar side chain conformational preferences are adopted and approximate the 53:47:0 and 47:53:0 gg:gt:tg ratios computed by Bock and Duus for the α- and β-glucosides.1 We further conclude that replacement of the 2-hydroxy group in the α- and β-D-glucopyranosides and their 6-amino derivatives by a protonated amino group has only a minimal effect on the side chain conformation. The increased population of the gt conformer in the 6-amino series in acidic media compared to the corresponding 6-hydroxy compounds is consistent with the predominantly gauche conformation (~92%) adopted by ethanol amine hydrochloride in aqueous solution determined by Roberts and coworkers.14 The major gt conformation of 2 and 3 in aqueous base is also consistent with the predominant gauche conformation of neutral ethanol amine as determined by NMR spectroscopy,14 and computationally,15 and as determined by vibrational spectroscopy in the gas phase.16
Regarding the influence of anomeric configuration on side chain conformation, comparison of the coupling constant data for 2 and 3 in both acidic and basic media (Tables 1 and 2) reveals only minor differences suggesting that the side chain amine is the determining factor. For 3 and 4, which lack the 6-amino group, the changes, while still modest, are more pronounced in both acidic and basic media (Tables 1 and 2) and are consistent with a slightly higher population of the gt conformer for the equatorial anomer. This pattern follows that observed for the anomers of glucopyranosides by multiple groups.1,17,18
3. Conclusion
The side chains of both anomers of the methyl glycosides of 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-D-glucopyranose very predominantly adopt the gt conformation in aqueous solution at pH 5 and pH 11 as revealed by the stereospecific synthesis of 6-monodeuterio isotopomers. In contrast, anomers of the methyl glycosides of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranoside populate, like the methyl glycosides of glucopyranose itself, approximately 1:1 mixtures of the gg and gt conformations. The preference for the gt conformation in the 2,6-diamino series is therefore a consequence of the 6-amino group, and is consistent with the gauche conformation adopted by 2-aminoethanol under similar conditions.

4.3.1 Methyl 6-azido-2,6-dideoxy-2-NH-benzyloxycarbonyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (21)
Methyl 2-NH-Cbz glucosaminide 2012 (40 mg, 0.12 mmol) was dissolved in pyridine (0.5 mL) and treated with 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl chloride (145 mg, 0.49 mmol) at ambient temperature and with monitoring by TLC (chloroform:methanol 10:1, Rf = 0.4). After 9 h, the reaction was quenched with methanol (0.5 mL) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform : methanol 20:1 to 5:1) to give the 6-O-trisyl derivative (50 mg, 0.083 mmol, 68%), which was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.5 mL), treated with sodium azide (65 mg, 0.99 mmol), and heated to 80 °C with stirring for 6 h and monitoring by TLC (chloroform:methanol 10:1, Rf = 0.7). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue purified by silica gel column chromatography (chloroform : methanol 20:1 to 5:1) to give the title compound 21 (22.8 mg, 0.065 mmol, 78%) as a colorless oil. (c = 0.5 methanol). 1H NMR (600 MHz, CD3OD): δ = 7.48-7.28 (m, 5H, arom); 5.04 (s, 2H, -CH2Ph); 4.32 (d, J1-2 = 8.7 Hz, 1H, H1); 3.65 (dd, J6a-5 = 1.9 Hz, J6a-6b = 12.1 Hz, 1H, H6a); 3.53 (dd, J6b-5 = 5.6 Hz, J6b-6a = 11.9 Hz, 1H, H6b); 3.53 (s, 3H, -OCH3); 3.41 (br.t, J3-2 = J 3-4 = 8.9 Hz, 1H, H3); 3.32 (m, 1H, H2); 3.31 (m, 1H, H4); 3.30 (m, 1H, H5). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CD3OD): δ = 160.33 (-C=O-); 138.80, 129.82, 129.31 (6C, arom.); 104.47 (C1); 78.02 (C5); 76.53 (C3); 72.60 (C4); 69.48 (-CH2-); 60.71 (-OCH3); 57.59 (C2); 54.31 (C6).
