Methyl aD-glucopyranoside reacts with phenylboronic acid (1 mol.) to give a crystalline 4, 6-cyclic ester which, in turn, forms a 2, 3-(diphenylpyroboronate)(containing a 7-membered ring) with an excess of the reagent. Phenylboronic acid (2 mol.) condenses smoothly with methyl aD-mannopyranoside, to give the 2, 3: 4, 6-diester, but with 1 mol. of the acid this reaction does not give a homogeneous product. Substituted phenylboronate esters of methyl cx-D-glucopyranoside, and phenylboronates of other glycosides and related compounds, are reported. All the derivatives described are air-stable solids which readily decompose in water or alcohols. The ester linkages have been shown to be stable to esterifying conditions but unstable during methylation.THE interaction in aqueous solution of boric acid with hydroxylated compounds has been studied extensively, l but less attention has been paid to the reactions which take place in non-aqueous solvents. The possibility of triester formation complicates the investigation of the cyclic borates formed from diols, and with carbohydrate derivatives, which concern us here, condensation, with dimerisation, of such diesters has been shown to occur. 2 In an attempt to overcome this difficulty, phenylboronic acid, which is known to condense with polyhydroxy-compounds to give cyclic ester^,^ has been used in model experiments. Some crystalline phenylboronates of hexitols have already been reported, but little is known of the kinds of diol system with which the acid will react. Although methyl a-and pD-ghcopyranoside have been found to react with both boric acid5 and phenylboronic acid, 6 discrete esters have not been reported and the sites of esterification have not been well defined. We have examined the action of 1 mol. of phenylboronic acid on these glycosides, and by azeotropic distilIation in the presence of benzene to remove water have been able to obtain crystalline cyclic esters in high yield. The anhydride of phenylboronic acid (triphenylboroxole) was equally effective in the syntheses.
