The m-xylylene moiety was employed as rigid spacer in intramolecular glycoside bond formation. Fifteen-membered macrocycle formation starting from 6-O-linked donor and 6- and 4-O-linked acceptor (5a,b, 6b) led exclusively to β(1-4)- and β(1-6)-linked compounds 7β and 8β, respectively, which gave cellobioside and gentiobioside derivatives. The glycosylation yields could be improved by 14-membered macrocycle formation. In the four cases studied, the donor was 6-O-linked to the spacer. For the acceptor linkage to the spacer and the accepting hydroxy group, relative D-/L-threo- and D-/L-erythro-arrangements were chosen. Standard glycosylation conditions led in three cases (13, 14, 23) only to β-linkage in high yield (16β, 17β, 25β). For the transformation of 24, having a D-erythro-arrangement in the acceptor moiety, the α-anomer 26α was preferentially obtained. Limitation of the conformational space of the donor and the acceptor as in 31, which is stereochemically identical with 24, led to the corresponding α-glycoside 32α in 87% yield. Synthesis of a pseudo mirror image of 23 [having 6-(D)/3-(D-threo)-arrangement], namely 35, having 3(L)/6-(L-threo)-arrangement of the donor and acceptor moieties, expectedly gave only α-glycoside 36α in very high yield. Thus, the efficiency and versatility of this conceptual approach to intramolecular glycoside bond formation is exhibited.
