Sulfonated Graphene as a Sustainable Catalyst for Environmentally Benign Preparation of Benzylidene Acetals of Carbohydrates

Abstract

A clean and efficient method has been developed for the introduction of benzylidene acetals into carbohydrate derivatives catalyzed by sulfonated graphene at room temperature. Yields were excellent in each case. The catalyst can be reused several times without much decrease in reactivity.

Keywords

benzylidene acetals - carbohydrates - protecting group - graphene catalysis - solvent-free reaction - sulfonated graphene

• 15 Benzylidene acetals: General Procedure Benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal (1.1 mmol) and GR-SO₃ H (10 mg) were added sequentially to the appropriate substrate (1.0 mmol), and the mixture was stirred for the appropriate time (Table 1) at rt until the reaction was complete (TLC). The mixture was then diluted with CH₂Cl₂ and filtered to remove the solid catalyst. The organic layer was dried (Na₂SO₄) and concentrated to give a crude product that was crystallized from EtOH or CH₂Cl₂–hexane or purified by chromatography (silica gel) Methyl 4,6-O-Benzylidene-α-d-glucopyranoside (1a) Prepared by the general procedure from methyl α-d-glucopyranoside (1; 194 mg, 1 mmol) as a white solid; yield: 95%; mp 150 °C.
