A kutatási téma leírása:
Sugar imine type derivatives (anhydro-aldose and aldono-lactone tosylhydrazones, anhydro-aldoximes, etc.) are valuable building blocks of synthetic carbohydrate chemistry. Their chemical transformations to be investigated are a hardly ever studied field of carbohydrate chemistry. In the last decade several papers were published focusing on the application of N-tosylhydrazones in coupling reactions. A systematic study on the applicability of sugar tosylhydrazones in coupling reactions has been started in our research group resulting in the formation of C-O, C-S, C-C and C-N bonds using anhydro-aldose tosylhydrazones as coupling agents. In this project we plan to extend these methods for aldono-lactone tosylhydrazones. Based on the chemistry worked out in our group for the synthesis of anhydro-aldoximes with one example for an anhydro-aldoxime ether the synthesis of further aryl ether derivatives and oximes with two sugar units are planned. Alternative reaction pathways to get these anhydro-aldoxime ethers can be the O-arylation/glycosylation of aldoximes using catalytic methods and the acid catalyzed addition of aldoximes to unsaturated sugar derivatives (endo- and exo-glycals). After removal of the protecting groups, D-galacto configured molecules will be tested as galectin inhibitors.
