A dimethoxytriazine type glycosyl donor enables a facile chemo-enzymatic route toward α-linked N-acetylglucosaminyl-galactose disaccharide unit from gastric mucin
An efficient chemo-enzymatic process for construction of the α-linked disaccharide unit (GlcNAcα1-4Gal) found in gastric mucin has been developed. The process consists of a one-step preparation of a novel triazine type glycosyl donor in water and the subsequent transglycosylation to a galactose derivative catalysed by α-N-acetylglucosaminidase.
