Merging total synthesis and NMR technology for deciphering the realistic structure of natural 2,6-dideoxyglycosides.

ABSTRACT: The structural identification and efficient synthesis of bioactive 2,6-dideoxyglycosides are daunting challenges. Here, we report the total synthesis and structural revision of a series of 2,6-dideoxyglycosides from folk medicinal plants Ecdysanthera rosea and Chonemorpha megacalyx, which feature pregnane steroidal aglycones bearing an 18,20-lactone and glycans consisting of 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-β-pyranose residues, including ecdysosides A, B, and F and ecdysantheroside A. All the eight possible 2,6-dideoxy-3-O-methyl-β-pyranoside stereoisomers (of the proposed ecdysantheroside A) have been synthesized that testify the effective gold(I)-catalyzed glycosylation methods for the synthesis of various 2-deoxy-β-pyranosidic linkages and lays a foundation via nuclear
