Abstract
An unusual kinetic approach to the Pictet–Spengler reaction was investigated, in which l- or d-tryptophan methyl ester reacted with aldehydes of 1,2-O-cyclohexylidene-3-allyloxy-α-d-xylofuranose, yielding exclusively the cis or trans diastereomer of tetrahydro-β-carboline glycoside, respectively, with complete stereocontrol.

- 13 Preparation of Compounds 3–28; General Procedure: To a stirred solution of free tryptamine (1a; 2 mmol) or l-tryptophan methyl ester (1b; 2 mmol) or d-tryptophan methyl ester (1c; 2 mmol), sugar aldehyde 2a–d (2 mmol) and activated 4 Å molecular sieves (10 mg/mmol) in CH2Cl2 (20 mL), TFA (0.2 mL) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4–6 h and the progress was monitored by TLC (CHCl3–MeOH, 9:1). Upon completion of the reaction, solvent was removed and the crude material was either directly used for column purification or diluted with H2O, extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 × 25 mL), washed with very dilute aq HCl (10 mL), sat. NaHCO3 (10 mL), H2O (20 mL), and brine (20 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (petroleum ether–CHCl3–MeOH).10,11-O-Cyclohexylidene-12β-hydroxy-(1-tetrahydro-β-carbonlinyl)tetrahydrofuran (3a) and its conformer (3b): The residue was purified by chromatography over silica gel using CHCl3 to afford 3a (518 mg, 70%) and CHCl3–MeOH (99:1) to afford 3b (188.2 mg, 25%).Compound 3a: mp 200–202 °C; [α]D –54.0 (c 0.48, CHCl3).
