A synthesis of 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoroglucose
A synthesis of 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoroglucose
There is an increasing interest in investigating how polyfluorination of carbohydrates modifies their physical and biological properties. An example that has caught much attention is 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoroglucose. Four syntheses of this compound have been reported, which are either low yielding, or long (13 or more steps). We report a 6-step synthesis of 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoroglucose starting from levoglucosan. The solution-phase structure of an intermediate, 1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-2,4-difluoroallose, features a rare example of a bifurcated F···HO···F hydrogen bond, and is compared to its crystal structure.

Abstract
There is an increasing interest in investigating how polyfluorination of carbohydrates modifies their physical and biological properties. An example that has caught much attention is 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoroglucose. Four syntheses of this compound have been reported, which are either low yielding, or long (13 or more steps). We report a 6-step synthesis of 2,3,4-trideoxy-2,3,4-trifluoroglucose starting from levoglucosan. The solution-phase structure of an intermediate, 1,6-anhydro-2,4-dideoxy-2,4-difluoroallose, features a rare example of a bifurcated F···HO···F hydrogen bond, and is compared to its crystal structure.
