摘要

Carbohydrate chemistry continues to provide versatile routes toward new bioactive compounds, yet limited solubility often restricts their broader applications. In the present study, N-fluoroamide thioglycoside derivatives were synthesized in a short and mild process starting from 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose hydrochloride. The transformation employed a fluorous acylating agent in the presence of potassium carbonate and thiophenol, affording the desired products in excellent yields (82–95%) within 20 min. Since these compounds showed poor solubility in water, host–guest complexes were generated with native Betadex (β-Cyclodextrin) under ultrasound assistance. The resulting inclusion complexes were confirmed by 1H, 13C, 19F NMR, FT–IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. UV–visible measurements demonstrated a marked enhancement in aqueous solubility, reaching up to a fourteen-fold increase, consistent with a 1:1 AL-type stoichiometry obtained from phase-solubility analysis. Biological assays revealed that encapsulation in β-CD not only improved dissolution but also strengthened antimicrobial activity. This approach highlights a practical strategy that combines rapid synthesis, supramolecular encapsulation, and enhanced bioactivity, opening new perspectives for the pharmaceutical development of fluorinated sugar derivatives.

Graphical abstract

A rapid ultrasound-assisted approach was successfully developed for the synthesis of N-fluoroamide thioglycosides under mild reaction conditions. Furthermore, complexation with β-cyclodextrin markedly improved the aqueous solubility of the synthesized compounds and enhanced their antimicrobial activity through the formation of stable host–guest supramolecular inclusion complexes.
