We recently reported that the use of Nhydroxyphthalimide as a nucleophilic reagent in reactions with alcohols in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate leads to Gall@ derivatives of hydroxylamine’ _We now report on the application of this reaction to carbohydrate derivatives containing an “isolated” hydroxyl group to afford a new type of monosaccharide derivative, namely O-amino sugars. Treatment of 1,2:3,4-di-U-isopropylidene&-D-galactopyranose’ with equimolar amounts of Nhydroxyphthalimide, triphenylphosphine, and diethyl azodicarboxylate in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature for 24 h, followed by concentration, and chromatography of the residue on a silica gel column with benzene-ether (9: l), gave 1,2:3,4diU-isopropylidened-Ckphthalimidoiu-D-galactopyranose (I, 543%), m.p. 121--122O; V= 1615,174O and 1795 (C=O), and 700 cm-’ (aromatic); no OH absorption. The p.m.r. spectrum (chloroform+ was similar to that for 6deoxy-1,2:3,4-

di-Uisopropyli~ene-6-phthalimido&Dgalactopyranose3 except for the chemical shift of H-6,6’. similarly, ethyl 2,3-dideoxy-at-D-e~tx-2-enopyranoside4 with 2 moles of each reagent for 1 mole of sugar gave ethyl 2,3_dideoxy4,6&0-phthalimido~-D-threuhex-2enopyranoside (2,78.5%), m-p. 250-252”, v*& 1615,174O and 1790 (C=C& and 695 cm’* (aromatic). The pms. spectrum (pyridine-d5) was similar to that for ethyl 2,3,4,6-tetradeoxy4,6-diphth&mid~-D-f~~eu-hex-2-enopyranoside3 ; the coupling constants for H-4 @a,4 5.0, J4,s 3.5 Hz) showed that inversion of configuration at C-4 bad occurred in this reaction. 23:5,6-IX-0isopropylidene-D-mannofuranoses was converted into two products that were isolated by chromatography on silica gel. The first wasN-(2,3:5,6diU-isopropyl idene-&D-mannofiuaosyloxy)phthalimide (3,ll .O%),m-p. 128-129O; rtfBna:1610,174O and 1795 (c----O), and 695 cm-’ (aromatic). The p.m.r. spectrum (chloroform&) was similar to that recorded for N-(2,3:5,&ii-0-isopropylidene~-D-mannofuranosyl)phthalimide6 _ The &configuration of this compound was established on the basis of the coupling constant .&,a --O JZL The second product wasN_(2,3:5,6did)-isopropylidene-& D-mannofuranosyloxy)phthalimide (4,65.0%), m.p. 146-147O; P”,: 1615,174O and 1795 (C=O), and 700 cm-’ (aromatic). The &configuration followed from the coupling constant &,a 4.0 Hz. The new compounds described here had correct elemental analyses, and apparently constitute the first examples of carbohydrate aderivatives of hydroxylamine.
