Synthesis of Mono- and Disaccharide 4-[(ω-Sulfanylalkyl)oxy]benzoylhydrazones as Potential Glycoligands for Noble Metal Nanoparticles

A procedure has been developed for the synthesis of previously unknown aldose 4-[(ω-sulfanylalkyl) oxy]benzoylhydrazones (where alkyl is hexyl or decyl and aldoses are D-glucose, D-galactose, D-maltose, and D-lactose) that a repromising glycoligands for noble metal nanoparticles. According to the 1 H and 13 C NMR data, 4-[(ω-sulfanylalkyl)oxy]benzoylhydrazones derived from D-glucose, D-maltose, and D-lactose in crystal and in DMSO- d 6 solution have exclusively the cyclic pyranose structure (α- and β-anomers). D-Galactose 4-[(ω-sulfanylalkyl)oxy]benzoylhydrazones in DMSO- d 6 solution exist as tautomeric mixtures of cyclic pyranose and open-chain acylhydrazone structures.
