Synthesis of glycolipids.

The chemical syntheses of naturally occurring glycolipids derived from sphingosine bases and glycerol derivatives, and the syntheses of polyisoprenoid lipid intermediates and other miscellaneous glycolipids recorded up to the end of 1977 are reviewed.

Synthesis of benzyl and allyl ethers of D-glucopyranose.

Starting from allyl 3-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranoside as a key intermediate, the following crystalline compounds were prepared: 2-O-allyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose (11) and its p-nitrobenzoate; 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-arabinofuranose (12) and the corresponding arabinitol; allyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (7); 3,4,6-tri-o-benzyl-D-glucopyranose (8); 2-0-allyl 3, 4-di-o-benzyl-D-glucopyranose (17) and its bis(p-nitrobenzoate); and 3,4-di-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose (19). The p-nitrobenzoates of compounds 11 and 17 are potential intermediates for the synthesis of the glycolipids of the cytoplasmic membranes of Streptococci.
