ABSTRACT
An unexpected Lewis acid-catalyzed carbohydrate rearrangement of a 1,5-bis-glycopyranoside to the product of a formal intramolecular C-aryl glycosylation reaction is reported. Mechanistic studies based mainly on intermediate trapping experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a cascade process involving three transient (a)cyclic oxocarbenium cations, the breaking of three single C(sp3)-O bonds, and the formation of three single bonds (i.e., exo-, endo-, and C-glycosidic bonds), leading to the 2,6-epoxybenzoxocine skeleton of bioactive natural glycoconjugates related to serjanione A and mimocaesalpin E. DFT calculations established that the generation of the pyran moiety embedded in the bridged benzoxocin ring system is likely to proceed through an unusual ring-closure of an ortho-quinone methide intermediate in which the attacking nucleophile is a carbonyl oxygen.
