Abstract

Abstract: Synthetic methods were elaborated ford -glucals attached to oxadiazoles by a C–C bond. Introduction of the double bond was effected by either DBU induced elimination of PhCOOH from the O -perbenzoylated glucopyranosyl precursors or Zn/ N -methylimidazole mediated reductive elimination from the 1-bromoglucopyranosyl starting compounds. Alternatively, heterocyclizations of 2-deoxy-d - arabino -hex-1-enopyranosyl cyanide were also carried out. Test compounds were obtained by Zemplén debenzoylation, however, none of them showed significant inhibition of rabbit muscle glycogen phosphorylase b .
