The elicitation of antimicrobial agents called phytoalexins is, in some cases, triggered by oligomeric glucan units containing .beta.-1,6 and .beta.-1,3-linkages. Metal ion mediated cyclotrimerization of suitable 2-propynyl sugar precursors was investigated as a method to prepare potential structural analogs of these elicitor molecules. Thus, reaction of the 2-propynyl glucoside using dicobalt octacarbonyl as catalyst, gave a trimeric cluster glycoside in 44% yield. Similarly prepared were other aryl cluster glycosides from alkynyl precursors. In general, these reactions proceeded with high regioselectivity favoring the 1,2,4 over the 1,3,5 regioisomer by a ratio of 9:1. Hexameric cluster glycosides resulted from the cyclotrimerization of bifunctionally substituted alkynes. The aryl cluster glycosides are inactive as phytoalexin elicitors, as shown by the soybean cotyledon bioassay.
