Abstract
Electrochemical oxidant regeneration is challenging in reactions that have a slow redox step because the steady-state concentration of the reduced oxidant is low, causing difficulties in maintaining sufficient current or preventing potential spikes. This work shows that applying an understanding of the relationship between intermediate cation stability, oxidant strength, overpotential, and concentration on reaction kinetics delivers a method for electrochemical oxoammonium ion regeneration in hydride abstraction-initiated cyclization reactions, resulting in the development of an electrocatalytic variant of a process that has a high oxidation transition state free energy. This approach should be applicable to expanding the scope of electrocatalysis to include additional slow redox processes.

Abstract
Presented herein is a study of the conformation and reactivity of highly reactive thioglycoside donors. The structural studies have been conducted using NMR spectroscopy and computational methods. The reactivity of these donors has been investigated in bromine-promoted glycosylations of aliphatic and sugar alcohols. Swift reaction times, high yields, and respectable 1,2-cis stereoselectivity were observed in a majority of these glycosylations.

Bradshaw GA, Colgan AC, Allen NP, Pongener I, Boland MB, Ortin Y, McGarrigle EM. Stereoselective organocatalyzed glycosylations - thiouracil, thioureas and monothiophthalimide act as Brønsted acid catalysts at low loadings. Chem Sci 2019; 10:508-514. [PMID: 30713648 PMCID: PMC6334493 DOI: 10.1039/c8sc02788a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2018] [Accepted: 10/15/2018] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Thiouracil catalyzes stereoselective glycosylations with galactals in loadings as low as 0.1 mol%. It is proposed that in these glycosylations thiouracil, monothiophthalimide, and the previously reported catalyst, Schreiner's thiourea, do not operate via a double H-bonding mechanism but rather by Brønsted acid/base catalysis. In addition to the synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosides and glycoconjugates, we report the first organocatalytic synthesis of 1,1'-linked trehalose-type sugars.
