Notes:
Reaction of the benzyl- and acetyl-protected α-trichloroacetimidates 1 and 6α with dialkyl and diaryl phosphates in the presence of traces of acid affords stereoelectively the thermodynamically more stable α-L-fucopyranosyl phosphates 2, 7 and 8, respectively, in high yields. The use of very pure, recrystallized dibenzyl phosphate results in the stereoeletive formation of the β-L-fucopyranosyl phosphates 3 and 9. In each case separation of the anomers is not required because of the very high stereoselectivity of the reactions. After deprotection the fucose 1-phosphate 12 is coupled with GMP morpholidate 10 to yield GDP-fucose 13. After the development of a new purification procedure for GDP-fucose 13 we have obtained a very pure compound suitable for biochemical investigations. Analytical and preparative HPLC has been performed on reversed-phase columns using a volatile buffer system (triethylammonium hydrogen carbonate) as the eluant.
