Kloral, asetal oluşum reaksiyonlarında aldehit gibi kullanılırsa kloraloz
olarak isimlendirilen halkalı ürünler ortaya çıkar. Bu türevler diğer asetal ve
ketallere kıyasla çok daha zor koşullara karşı dayanıklıdırlar. Kolayca hidrolize
edilmezler. Ayrıca kloraloz türevlerinden elde edilen değişik ortoester yapılarının
şeker molekülleri üzerinde bulunması karbohidrat kimyasında sentezlenmesi
hedeflenen ürünü elde etmek için kolaylık sağlamaktadır. O-Alkiliden veO-
Alkiliden türevleri halkalı asetal yapısında olan koruyucu grup özelliğine sahip
bileşiklerdir.
Bu çalışmada L-Ramnoz isimli şekerden yola çıkarak yapılan optimizasyon
çalışması ile L-Ramnokloraloz (1,2-O-trikloroetiliden-L-ramnofuranoz) sentezi
için en verimli yol belirlenmiş ve bu yol ile elde edilen ramnokloralozdan bir
ortoester (1,2,3-O-dikloroetiliden-L-ramnofuranoz) sentezi gerçekleştirilmiştir.
Bileşiklerin yapıları spektroskopik analizler (IR, 1H-NMR,
13C-NMR) ve
elementel analiz sonuçları ile teyit edilmiştir.
Sonuç olarak L-Ramnozdan elde edilen trikloroetiliden asetalleri ve
ortoester yapısı ile 2 ve daha fazla hidroksil grubu korunmuş olup yeni L-
ramnofuranozidik birimlerin hazırlanmasında yapıtaşı olarak kullanılmaya uygun
yapılar oluşturulmuştur. Aynı zamanda sentezlenen ortoester bileşiği L-
ramnofuranozidik oligosakkaritlerin hazırlanmasında glikozil donör olarak
kullanılabilme potansiyeli taşımaktadır.
Anahtar Kelimeler: Ortoester, Halkalı Asetal, Kloraloz, L-Ramnoz.

If chloral is used as an aldehyde in acetal formation reactions, cyclic
products called chloralose emerge. These derivatives are resistant to much more
difficult conditions than other acetals and ketals. Furthermore, the presence of
different orthoester structures obtained from chloralose derivatives on sugar
molecules makes it easy to obtain the product intended to be synthesized in the
carbohydrate chemistry.
In this study, the most efficient way for L-rhamnochloralose (1,2-O-
trichloroethylidene-L-rhamnofuranose) synthesis was determined with the
optimization study based on sugar named L-rhamnose and an orthoester (1,2,3-O-
dichloro-L-rhamnofuranose) synthesis was made from ramnocloralose obtained by
this route. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by
spectroscopic analyses (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR) and elemetal analysis.
As a result, 2 and more hydroxyl groups were protected by
trichloroethylidene acetals and orthoester structure obtained from L-rhamnose.
The synthesized orthoester compound also has the potential to be used as glycosyl
donor in the preparation of L-rhamnofuranosidic oligosaccharides.
Keywords: Orthoester, Ring Acetal, Chloralose, L-rhamnose.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates and their derivatives have important functions in living
organisms and are important compounds for organic synthesis. For this reason,
many studies have been made on carbohydrates. In all studies, protection of
hydroxyl compounds on sugars is very important. Because the protection of free
hydroxyls has brought about a difference in the ability to perform the desired
reaction types to sugar and thus many different sugar derivatives have been
introduced into the literature.
In this study, a series of reactions of different protecting groups were carried
out considering the importance of protecting groups. Starting from D-galactose
and D-mannose, 1,2-O-(R)-trichloroethylidene-ß-D-mannofuranose and 1,2-O-
Trichloroethylidene galactofuranose were obtained. The reaction of anhydrous
acetic anhydride (Ac2O) with NaOAc as a different protecting group yielded
peracetyl-ß-D-glucopyranose, peracetyl-ß-D-glucopyranose, and peracetyl-D-
mannopyranose from galactose, glucose and mannose.
These protected sugars will then be deacetylated to the number one
hydroxyls (selective hydrolysis) to obtain targeted new sugar derivatives.
1.2Hydroxyl Group Reactions
The hydroxyl groups in the carbohydrate molecule sometimes need to be
temporarily protected. A good protecting group must be resistant to the reaction
conditions and should be readily separated, if necessary, to give the free hydroxyl
group, while the shape of the molecule should not change
2
1.3 Some Protecting Groups in Carbohydrates
Much of today‟s chemistry is concerned with synthesis and carbohydrate
chemistry is no exception. The large pharmaceutical companies once employed
small armies of chemists to synthesize a myriad of compounds that were
necessary for lead development of a potential „block buster‟ drug. Nowadays,
however, the same companies „outsource„much of their synthetic work to smaller,
private companies, but there is still a need for synthetic chemists to do the work.
If you want to do synthesis, you need to know about protecting groups.
The protecting groups used in carbohydrates are generally the same as those
of mainstream organic chemistry; the difference; however, is that ever a
monosaccharide presents a myriad of hydroxyl groups that need protection, in
either an individual (regioselective) or a unique (orthogonal) manner. Also, the
introduced protecting groups may affect the reactivity of the resulting molecule or
even participate in some of its reactions.
1.3.1 Acetates
The acetylation of D-glucose was first performed in the mid–nineteenth
century, which helped to confirm the pentahydroxy nature of the molecule. Since
then, three sets of conditions are commonly used for the transformation:
Scheme 1.1. Formation of acetate structure as a protecting group.
3
The reaction in pyridine is general and convenient and usually gives the
same ratio of anomers of the penta-acetate as found in the parent free sugar. With
an acid catalyst, the reaction probably operates under thermodynamic control and
gives the more stable anomer. Sodium acetate causes a rapid anomerization of the
free suger, (Swain and Brown, 1952). The more reactive anomer is then
preferentially acetylated. Iodine has been used for various acetylations, with some
interesting and regioselective transformations (Kartha and Field, 1997):
Scheme 1.2. Acetylation reaction in the presence of iodine.
One of the features of an acetyl protecting group is its ready removel to
regenerate the parent alcohol. Generally, the acetate is dissolved in methanol, a
small piece of sodium metal is added and the required transesterification reaction
is both rapid and quantitative (Zemplen and Pacsu, 1929):
1.3.2 Benzoates
In general, benzoates are more robust groups than acetates and may give rise
to derivatives that are useful in X-ray crystallographic determinations (e.g., 4-
bromobenzoates). The robustness of benzoates is reflected both in their
preparation (benzoyl chloride, pyridine) and in their reversion to the parent
alcohol (sodium-methanol for protracted periods). Acetates can be removed in
preference to benzoates (Byramova and Ovchinnikov, 1983).
The selective benzoylation of a carbohydrate can be achieved either by
careful control of the reaction conditions or by the use of a less reactive reagent,
such as N- benzoylimidazole or 1-benzoyloxybenzotriazole (Pelyvas et al., 1991):
4
Scheme 1.3. Selective benzoylation of a carbohydrate.
1.3.3 Chloroacetates
Chloroacetates are easily acquired (chloroacetic anhydride in pyridine), are
stable enough to survive most synthetic transformations and yet, being more labile
than acetates, can be selectively transformed back to the hydroxyl group (thiourea,
„hydrazinedithiocarbonate or DABCO):
Scheme 1.4.Reaction of obtaining chloroacetates.
1.3.4 Pivalates
Esters of pivalic acid (2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid), for he reason of steric
bulk, can be installed preferentially at the more reactive sites of a sugar but
require reasonably vigorous conditions for their removal (Greene and Wuts,
1991):
Scheme 1.5. Protective group is obtained in the presence of pivalic acid.
5
1.3.5 Carbonates, Borates, Phosphates, Sulfates and Nitrates
Cyclic carbonates are occasionally used for the protection of vicinal diols,
providing the dual advantages of installation under basic (phosgene) or neutral
(1,1-carbonyldiimidazole) conditions, and easy removal (Zhu and Boons, 2001).
Scheme 1.6. Carbonates, Borates, Phosphates, Sulfates and Nitrates.
1.3.6 Sulfonates
This last group of esters is not at all characterized by protection of the
hydroxyl group but, rather, by its activation towards nucleophilic substitution:
The three sulfonates commonly encountered are tosylate (4-
toluenesulfonate), mesylate (methanesulfonate) and triflate
(trifluoromethanesulfonate), generally installed in pyridine and using the acid
chloride (4-toluenesulfonyl chloride and methanesulfonyl chloride) or
trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride (Binkley and Ambrose, 1984). For alcohols of
low reactivity, the combination of methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine
(which produces the very reactive suflene, CH2SO2) is particularly effective
(Crossland and Servis, 1970).The sulfonates, once installed, show the following
order of reactivity towards nucleophilic displacement:
CF3SO2O->>CH3SO2O- > 4- CH3C6H4SO2O-
6
1.3.7 Allyl Ethers
Roy Gigg, more than anyone else, was responsible for the establishment of
the allyl (prop-2-enyl) ether as a useful protecting group in carbohydrate
chemistry (Gigg and Gigg, 1966). Allyl groups may be found at both anomeric
and nonanomeric positions, the latter ethers being installed under basic (allyl
bromide, sodium hydride, DMF ), acidic ( allyl trichloroacetimidate, triflic acid)
or almost neutral conditions (Lakhmiri et al., 1989). Many methods exist for the
removal of the allyl group most relying on an initial prop-2-enyl to prop-1-enyl
isomerization, and varying from the classical (potassium tert-butoxide-dimethyl
sulfoxide, followed by mercuric chlorideor acid ) to palladium-based (palladium –
on-carbon, acid) and rhodium-based procedures. Other variants of the allyl group
have found some use in synthesis (Markovic and Vogel, 2004).
Scheme 1.7. Allyl Ethers.
1.3.8 Trityl Ethers
The trityl (triphenylmethyl) ether was the earliest group for he selective
protection of a primary alcohol. Although the introduction of a trityl group has
always been straightforward (trityl chloride, pyridine),various improvements have
been made (Hanessian and Staub, 1976). The removal process has been much
studied, and the reagents used are generally either Bronsted or Lewis acids; other
methods include either conventional hydrogenolysis or reduction under Brich
conditions (Kovac and Bauer, 1972).
7
Scheme 1.8. Trityl Ethers.
1.3.9 Silyl Ethers
The original use of silyl ethers in carbohydrates was not so much for the
protection of any hydroxyl group but, rather, for the chemical modification of
these normally water-soluble, non-volatile compounds. For example, the per-O-
silylation of monosaccharides was a necessary preamble to succesful analysis by
gas-liquid chromatography or mass spectrometry (Dutton, 1973):
Figure 1.1. Silyl Ethers.
1.4 Acetals
Semi-acetal is formed by passing a small amount of HCl gas through the
alcohol solution of an aldehyde (or ketone). A second reaction then occurs. semi-
acetal, equivalent amount
The second one reacts with moles of alcohol to form acetal (sometimes
called ketal).
Acetal has two -OR groups bound to the same carbon atom (Figure 1.1).
8
Scheme 1.9. Acetal and semi-acetal formation.
1.4.1 Acid Catalyzed Acetal Formation
Proton is transferred to carbonyl oxygen (Scheme 1.10.a). The nucleophilic
addition reaction to the first alcohol molecule then takes place(Scheme
1.10.b).Proton separation from the positive oxygen produces a semi-
acetal(Scheme 1.10.c).The hydroxyl group is then protonated and causes water
separation and formation of the oxonium cation (Scheme1.10.d).Finally, a second
alcohol molecule attacks the carbon of the oxonium ion to form acetal (Scheme
1.10.e).
9
Scheme 1.10. Acid catalyzed acetal formation.
1.4.2 Cylic Acetals
Cyclic asetals are the condensate products of appropriate diols with
aldehydes or ketones and they are use commonly in carbohydrate chemistry as
protecting classify. They can be cushily hydrolized by rarified acids and the
configuration of the carbon atoms do unchanging (Belder, 1965).Utilization of
cyclic acetals in the organic chemistry, particullary in the synthetic organic
chemistry is of prime important. Because of these properties, the acetals provide a
convenient method for protecting the aldehyde and ketone groups from
undesirable reactions in basic solutions. We can convert an aldehyde or ketone to
acetal, by performing a reaction elsewhere in the molecule, then hydrolyzing the
acetal with aqueous acid. Take the problem of conversion from compound A to
compound B, for example. Keto groups are more easily reduced than ester groups.
A reducing agent capable of reducing the ester group of A also reduces the keto
group. However, if the keto group is converted to cyclic acetal, the ester group
may be reduced in the basic medium without acetal affinity. After the ester
reduction, the acetal can be hydrolyzed in the presence of dilute acid to form
structure B (Scheme1.11).
10
Scheme 1.11. Use of acetal group for protection.
Electronegativity of any substituent on the acetal carbon is very important.
It plays major role in forming longitudinal and equatorial isomers on the molecule
configuration. When the electronegativity of any substituent go up, more stable
longitudinal isomers take place. This effect it's known for “Anomeric Effect”
(Yüceer, 1978).
1.4.3Trichloroethylidene Acetals (Chloraloses)
Trichloroacetaldehydes containing electronegative substituents generate
solely five-member (1,3-dioxolane) derivatives in combination with reactions of
polyhydroxyl compounds(Richardson, 1972).We shall dispute why
trichloroethylidene acetals of sugars from 1,3-dioxolane circles instead of 1,3-
dioxane rings. For example, trichloromethyl groups are forced to advance the
axial position by reason of the anomeric impact in the hypothetically possible a 2-
trichloromethyl-1,3-dioxane (Scheme 1.3) derivative. also, at the axial position,
1,3-diaxial interactions between the trichloromethyl group and the axial ring
protons cause an unstable state. Thus, the polyhydroxyl compounds react with
chloral to form five-membered rings instead of six-membered rings (Ferrier and
Collins, 1972).
11

dioxane derivative.
One of the most recent studies on obtaining chloralose derivative was
carried out in 2013. In this study, Ribochloralose and some derivatives were

1.4.3.1 Scope of Application of Chloraloses
Some of the chloral derivatives show hypnotic properties.-Chloralose does
not have much use due to its toxic effect and low solubility in water. However,α-
chloralose is less toxic and potent hypnotic. Because of this property, α-
chloraloses are used in medicine, veterinary and agricultural fields.The first
studies on the anesthetic activity of chloralose on animals were conducted in
France in the 1900s.During World War II, some researchers tried to catch or kill
birds with chloralose As an example of the biological significance of chloraloses,
the effect of compounds 5-Amino-5-deoxy-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-D-
arabinofuranose and 6-Amino-6-deoxy-1,2-O-trichloroethylidene-α-D-
glucofuranoseagainst bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli,(e-coli)
Salmonella typhimurium and Enterobacter aerogenes againsthas been shown to
be greater than antibiotic Nalidixic acid Chloramphenicolnystatin(Yenil and Ay,
2004).

1.5 Ortho Esters
Ortho ester structures are defined as structures formed by simply replacing
hydrogen atoms with alkyl functional groups in the structure of carboxylic ortho
acids. Although simple ortho esters are completely unstable structures, the
compounds derived therefrom, in particular. Carbohydrate ortho esters are stable.
Therefore, they are highly usable in new reactions(Wolfe, 1970).
Figure 1.4. Simply orthoester formation.
13
Ortho esters are very sensitive organic compounds that can be easily and
rapidly hydrolyzed in acid-catalyzed media, although they remain stable in neutral
and alkaline environments (Oscarson, 1989). Hydrolysis proceeds through a
reaction mechanism that takes place in three steps and is shown as follows;
Scheme 1.13. Acid catalyzed orthoester hydrolysis.
Many aliphatic ortho carboxylate compounds are present as colorless liquids
and have typical ether odor. In particular, a small proportion of ortho esters
having bicyclic and tricyclic ring structures are colorless solids and are soluble in
organic solvents. Carboxylic ortho esters do not absorb UV light. The
characteristic of infrared absorption spectra is the observation of strong C-O
tensile vibrations around 1100 cm-1
(Bellamy, 1975).
14
1.5.1 Carbohydrate Ortho Esters
Most carbohydrate ortho esters are bicyclic in structure. A carbohydrate
ortho ester compound comprises a 2-alkoxydioxodilane ring and a carbohydrate
furanose or pyranose ring system condensed with this ring. This ring system is
generally accomplished by combining the anomeric carbon of carbohydrate.
(Ferrier, 1972).
1.5.2 1,2-Ortho Ester Structures
In the synthesis of 1,2-ortho ester structures, 1,2-trans-glycosyl halides can
be used, as well as 1,2-cis-glycosyl halide structures. For example; It has been
observed that 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (a) can be
converted to the corresponding 1,2-ortho ester derivative (b) with a yield of 62%
(Ferrier, 1972).
Scheme 1.14. 1,2-Ortho ester formation.
The effects of the catalyst and solvent used determine the main product to
be formed in these reactions (Fletcher and Ness, 1955).For example, compound
17 and compound 18, a novel ortho ester, can be obtained from the reaction of
compound 16 with an alcohol, such as ROH, in different percentages (Kochetkov
et al, 1964).The use of 0.001 moles of mercury (II) bromide yields compound c,
which is 1,2-ortho ester as the main product, while the use of 0.05 moles of
catalyst results in the formation of compound d with the parent product. The
structure is an O-glycoside (Ferrier, 1996).
15
Scheme 1.15. Ortho ester production in the presence of alcohol.
1.5.32,3-Ortho Ester and 4,6-Ortho Ester Structures
Besides the synthesis of 1,2-ortho ester structures, it is also possible to form
4,6-ortho esters in the carbohydrate skeletal structure. For this purpose, the ortho
acetate compound (a) was easily synthesized from the reaction of a diol with
(MeO)3CCH2Cl or (MeO)3CCHCl2 in the presence of catalytic p-toluenesulfonic
acid (Ferrier, 1998).
Figure 1.5. Compounds forming 2,3-Ortho ester and 4,6-Ortho ester.
1.5.4 Fluorinated 1,2-Ortho Ester Structures
In the literature, there are 1,2-ortho ester structures with high surface
activity and biologically important F-alkyl chain (Charpiot et al., 1991). The non-
toxic and hydrophilic head of the molecule is the sugar structure, while the
16
fluorophilic tail is the lipophilic part of the molecule. The synthesis of the length
of the lipophilic alkyl chain plays an important role in the formation of the
targeted molecule. For example; The reaction of an alcohol bearing fluorine group
with compound a with KoenigsKnorr takes place as the F-alkylated 1,2-ortho
ester or F-alkylated O-glycoside structure, depending on the length of the carbon
chain of the alcohol (Greiner, 1988). The short carbon chain in the perfluoroalkyl
chain is indicative of the low nucleophilic effect of this structure. Thus, it is
difficult to remove the hydroxyl group from the perfluoroalkyl chain and the
reaction ends with the formation of 1,2-ortho ester. However, O-glycoside
structures could be obtained in reactions using fluorinated alcohol with a long
carbon chain in which the hydrophilic and lipophilic balance were established
(Millius and Greiner, 1991).
Scheme 1.16. O-Glycoside production in the presence of fluorinated alcohol.
1.5.5 Ortho Ester Structures with Acetal Formation of Cyclic Flax
Cyclic flax acetals have been used to synthesize new ortho esters (Salman et
al., 1994). Tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-hexapiranosyl bromide compounds derived from
galactose, glucose and mannose have been converted to the corresponding
carbohydrate ring flax acetal derivatives which have important roles as
intermediates in organic synthesis.

Compound f having a carbohydrate ring flax acetal structure is converted to
the corresponding 1,2-ortho ester derivative (k) with methanol under appropriate
reaction conditions, while stereo- controlled with compound g is 1,2: 3,4-di-O-
18
isopropylidene-α-D-galactopyranose (l). from the reaction, compound m having a
new ortho ester structure was obtained in 85% yield (Sznaidman et al., 1995).
1.5.6 Structures of Bicyclic Ortho Esters
Bicyclic ortho esters are consist of from acyclic ortho esters with
cycloalkanediols or acyclic triols. For instance, cis and trans-8-ethoxy-7,9-
dioxabicyclo [4.3.0] nonanes can be procured from the reaction of
cyclohexanediols and triethyl orthoformate (Crank and Eastwood, 1964).
Figure 1.6. Cis and Trans structure ortho ester formation reactions.
Reaction of acyclic triols with triethyl ortho formate was used to prepare
some bicyclic ortho esters. Some of these are shown (Figure1.7).
Figure 1.7. Bicyclic ortho ester forms.
19
1.5.7 Structures of Tricyclic Ortho Esters
Any tricyclic ortho ester may be obtained by reaction of cis, cis, cis-1,3,5-
cyclohexanthriol with an orthoformate. (Sletter and Steinacker, 1953).
Figure 1.8. Tricyclic Ortho Ester.
This rigid tricyclic ring system is similar to hydrocarbon adamantine, hence
the so-called trioxaadamantane ring. It is systematic name is 2,4,10-trioxatricyclo
[3.3.1.1] decane(R=H).
1.5.8 Structures of Polycyclic Ortho Esters
If cycllitol (cis-1,3,5-trans-2,4,6-cyclohexanhexol) is reacted with triethyl
ortho formate in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at 200 °C, pentacyclic ortho ester
forms.This compounds has an wontless thermal stability for an ortho ester.It is
stable at 400°C and has a melting point of 302°C -304°C (Vogl et al., 1969).
Figure 1.9. Structures of Polycyclic Ortho Esters.
20
1.5.9 General Physical Properties of Ortho Esters
Aliphatic orthocarboxylates are non-color liquids with an etheric odor. Very
large molecules such as bicyclic and tricyclic compounds are colorless solids. It is
normally stable at neutral and alkaline pH and slightly soluble in water. They are
fully or partially soluble in organic solvents. strechings (Wolfe, 1970).
1.5.10 Reactions of Carbohydrate Ortho Esters
Carbohydrate ortho esters are also stable in alkaline medium and
acetylation, methylation, tosylation and similar reactions can be carried out on
free hydroxyl groups without effecting the ortho ester function.
Carbohydrate ortho esters are sensitive to acid hydrolysis as other ortho
esters. Thus carbohydrate 1,2-O-ortho esters give 2-acyloxy carbohydrates
initially than hydrolysis proceeds to give free hydroxyl groups (Haworth et al,
1931).

1.5.11 Importance of Carbohydrate Ortho Esters
2,3-ortho ester structures (Eckstein and Cramer, 1965) such as 1,2-ortho
ester structures (Wolfrom and Lederkremer, 1965), which have carbohydrate
structures and are used as conventional glycosyl donors, can be synthesized by
22
suitable and simple methods. Carbohydrate ortho esters are the most suitable
compounds for the synthesis of mono-glycoside structures as synthetic
intermediates.Therefore, disaccharide structure molecules such as antibiotic
bioactive molecule Bleomycin A2, trisaccharide structure molecules and
polysaccharides having high antigenic properties are also important intermediates
used in the synthesis of certain oligosaccharides (Kochetkov et al., 1990).
Figure 1.10. Bleomycin A2 molecule structure with disaccharide structure.
23
Figure 1.11. Polysaccharide and disaccharide structures.
In reactions involving the formation of carbohydrate ortho ester structures,
local and stereoselectivity can be achieved as well as control of stereochemistry.
As a result, novel compounds intended to be synthesized by arrangements on the
ortho ester molecule are readily accessible. In addition, fluorosurfactants derived
from sugars are used as pharmaceutical raw materials in clinical trials because of
their biological activity. The fact that some oligosaccharides carrying F-alkyl
chains have anti-HIV activity gives such compounds a field of use for protecting
24
human health. Fluorinated compounds capable of carrying oxygen and
compounds formed by the combination of carbohydrate structural units They are
used as bio-surfactants since they have hydrophilic and hydrophobic (Riess,
2001).However, the protection of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate compounds
with ortho ester functional groups can also be performed (Özgener and Yüceer,
2002). Thus, the use of ortho esters as protecting groups in carbohydrate
chemistry gives them many advantages in the subsequent reaction steps.
1.5.12 Spiro Ortho Ester Structures
Spiro-ortholactone bonds, located between glycosidic units, are important
building blocks in characterizing orthosomicin groups in oligosaccharide
antibiotics.Carbohydrate spiroortolactone units can be obtained from 2-deoxy
systems of sugar molecules.For example; The corresponding spiro-ortholactone
molecule (x) can be easily synthesized from 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-D-
arabino-hexapyranose (y).In the literature, glycosidic spiro-ortho esters with
antibiotic properties, high biological activity and especially in oligosaccharide
molecule structures are found (Buchanan et al., 1992).
Scheme 1.21. Spiro compound production.
Bioactive ortholactone units are important because they may exhibit
stimulating drug properties. It has also been found that there are (a‟‟)-(b‟‟)
structural units containing ortholactone formation in Everninomycin C molecular
structure (Beau et al., 1987).

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Scheme 3.1. General table of synthesis.
Trichloroethylidene acetals of sugars are normally highly crystalline
derivatives and they can be obtained pretty trumpery from sugars and chloral with
a powerful acid catalyst. Trichloroethylidene acetals are known to be highly stable
under acidic conditions. This is because the acetal ring oxygen initiating
hydrolysis is difficult to protonate. The strong electron-withdrawing effect of the
trichloromethyl group is responsible for this.

The optimal route for L-rhamnochloralose (compound 1) (1,2-O-
trichloroethylidene--L-rhamnofuranose) synthesis based on sugar called L-
rhamnose and an orthoester (compound 7) (1,2,3-O-dichloro --L-
rhamnofuranose) was determined.

Figure 3.10. Colored COSY spectrum of compound 1,2,3-O-orthodichloroacetyl-
-L-rhamnofuranose.
According to Figure 3.10; The orthoester proton observed under 6.0 is
singlet because the neighboring carbons do not contain protons. Since there was
no interference, the COSY Spectrum did not cross-peak. The doublet of the H1
proton observed at 5.66 appears to interact with the green proton H2 drawn at 5.35
on the line drawn in red.In addition to the interaction of H2 with H1, it is observed
from the cross peaks that it interacts with the H3 proton at 4.71 and the center of
the blue lines.Similarly, the cross peaks show that the H3 proton interacts with the
H4 proton at the center of the purple lines at 3.97.The H5 proton at the center of
the light green lines and at 4.03 is observed to interact with the cross peaks with
the H6 proton at 1.33 drawn by pink.
