Ramesh NG. From Glycals to Nitrogen Heterocycles and Carbocycles via "Cleavage-Intramolecular Recombination Strategy". CHEM REC 2021; 21:2930-2957.

Abstract
Glycals (carbohydrate enol-ethers) have enjoyed profound applications in organic synthesis for more than a century. They not only serve as versatile glycosyl donors or as substrates for Ferrier rearrangement, but also find extensive synthetic applications especially as a "chiral pool" for accomplishing the synthesis of a variety of natural and biologically important compounds. As cyclic enol ethers, they demonstrate high reactivity and are among the most and variously transformable monosaccharide derivatives. The uniqueness of the reactivity of glycals is that they can be synthetically tuned to get a library of derivatives through stereo- and regioselective introduction of a variety of functional groups at C1, C2, C3 as well as C4 carbons of the sugar. We have developed a practical approach for stereoselective mono- and diamination of glycals and over the years utilized these scaffolds for the synthesis of a variety of biologically important nitrogen heterocycles and carbocycles through a "Diversity Oriented Approach". Our synthetic strategy in this direction mainly relied on the cleavage of ring O-C bond of the sugar followed by an "intramolecular recombination" reaction. Utilizing this strategy, we have accomplished the synthesis of several biologically important natural products, their analogues and related unnatural derivatives. Examples of such compounds reported from our group include polyhydroxypyrrolidines, DMDP, anisomycin, steviamine, pochonicine, conduramines, bulgecinine, aminocyclitols, azepanes, 4-hydroxy-D-proline, azanucleosides and their analogues. A personal account highlighting these syntheses is presented here.

Abstract
Increasing demands for molecules with skeletal complexity, including those of stereochemical diversity, require new synthetic strategies. Carbohydrates have been used extensively as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of various complex molecules. On the other hand, the vinyl sulfone group has been identified as a unique functional group, which acts either as a Michael acceptor or a 2π partner in cycloaddition reactions. A combination of the high reactivity of the vinyl sulfone group and the in-built chiralities of carbohydrates has the potential to function as a powerful tool to generate a wide variety of enantiomerically pure reactive intermediates. Since CS bond formation in carbohydrates is easily achieved with regioselectivity, further synthetic manipulations of these thiosugars has led to the generation of a wide range of vinyl sulfone-modified furanosyl, pyranosyl, acyclic, and bicyclic carbohydrates. Several approaches have been studied to standardize the preparative methods for accessing vinyl sulfone-modified carbohydrates at least on a gram scale. Reactions of these modified carbohydrates with appropriate reagents afford a large number of new chemical entities primarily via (i) Michael addition reactions, (ii) desulfostannylation, (iii) Michael-initiated ring-closure reactions, and (iv) cycloaddition reactions. A wide range of desulfonylating reagents in the context of sensitive molecules such as carbohydrates have also been extensively studied. Applications of these strategies have led to the synthesis of (a) amino sugars and branched-chain sugars, (b) C-glycosides, (c) enantiomerically pure cyclopropanes, five- and six-membered carbocycles, (d) saturated oxa-, aza-, and thio-monocyclic heterocycles, (e) bi-and tricyclic saturated oxa and aza heterocycles, (f) enantiomerically pure and trisubstituted pyrroles, (g) 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazolylated carbohydrates and the corresponding triazole-linked di- and trisaccharides, (h) divinyl sulfone-modified carbohydrates and densely functionalized S,S-dioxothiomorpholines, and (i) modified nucleosides. Details of reaction conditions were incorporated as much as possible and mechanistic discussions were included wherever necessary.

Abstract
The syntheses of conduramine B-2, ent-conduramine F-2, aminocyclopentitol and trihydroxyazepane were accomplished from a common precursor, through a divergent approach using ring closing metathesis (RCM) as the key step. Tri-O-benzyl-d-glucal was converted to 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-1,2-dideoxy-2-iodo-1-p-toluenesulfonamido-α-d-mannose. Exposure to NaBH4 in MeOH resulted in a facile 1,2-transposition of the -NHTs group with concomitant glycosylation to give methyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-p-toluenesulfonamido-β-d-glucoside, which was converted into methyl 6-deoxy-6-iodo-glucoside in three steps. Zinc-mediated Vasella's rearrangement proceeded smoothly to give the pluripotent formyl-olefin, possessing both electrophilic and nucleophilic sites, which was used as a common precursor in our diversity-oriented approach. Vinylation of the carbonyl group followed by RCM and subsequent deprotection resulted in the successful synthesis of conduramine B-2 and ent-conduramine F-2 for the first time. On the other hand, the Wittig reaction of the formyl-olefin affords the diene that undergoes Grubbs' I catalyzed RCM and deprotection/reduction to provide 3-amino-cyclopentan-1,2-diol. Utilizing the nucleophilic site at the nitrogen of the common precursor, base mediated N-allylation was carried out to obtain the corresponding diene that underwent a smooth RCM to afford trihydroxyazepane.

Abstract
The application of a cell-based growth inhibition on a library of skeletally different glycomimetics allowed for the selection of a hexahydro-2H-furo[3,2-b][1,4]oxazine compound as candidate inhibitors of MDA-MB-231 cell growth. Subsequent synthesis of analogue compounds and preliminary biological studies validated the selection of a valuable hit compound with a novel polyhydroxylated structure for the modulation of the breast carcinoma cell cycle mechanism.

Enantiopure Trisubstituted Tetrahydrofurans with Appendage Diversity: Vinyl Sulfone- and Vinyl Sulfoxide-Modified Furans Derived from Carbohydrates as Synthons for Diversity Oriented Synthesis. Molecules 2016; 21:molecules21060690.

Abstract
Enantiomerically pure 2-substituted-2,5-dihydro-3-(aryl) sulfonyl/sulfinyl furans have been prepared from the easily accessible carbohydrate derivatives. The orientation of the substituents attached at the C-2 position of furans is sufficient to control the diastereoselectivity of the addition of various nucleophiles to the vinyl sulfone/sulfoxide-modified tetrahydrofurans, irrespective of the size of the group. The orientation of the substituents at the C-2 center also suppresses the influence of sulfoxides on the diastereoselectivity of the addition of various nucleophiles. The strategy leads to the creation of appendage diversity, affording a plethora of enantiomerically pure trisubstituted furanics for the first time.

Abstract
The construction of vinyl selenone on a furanoside led to a highly reactive synthetic intermediate methyl-α-D-2-selenonyl pent-2-enofuranoside composed of a masked aldehyde, an electron-deficient double bond along with an excellent leaving group. This new Michael acceptor on reactions with different nucleophiles afforded bicyclic azasugars, cyclopropanated carbohydrate, dihydrofuran- and dihydroisoxazole- substituted furanosides, and isonucleosides in moderate to good yields. Hydrolysis of the hemiacetal linkage of some of these modified carbohydrates afforded enantiopure aziridines, nitrocyclopropane, and dihydrofuran.
