摘要:
A pentasaccharide, the major repeating unit of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the nitrogen fixing bacterium Acetobacter diazotrophicus PAL 5 was efficiently synthesized as its allyl glycoside using a regio- and stereoselective strategy. The key acceptor, allyl 3-O-acetyl-4-O-benzoyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (3), was prepared by selective 3-O-acetylation of allyl 4-O-benzoyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside. Condensation of 3 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate furnished the disaccharide 5. Deallylation and subsequent trichloroacetimidation of 5 afforded 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 2)-3-O-acetyl-4-O-benzoyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (10). Selective 3-O-glycosylation of allyl alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (1) with 10 followed by benzoylation gave trisaccharide (12), which could be conveniently converted to a donor (14). Condensation of 14 with allyl 3,4-di-O-benzoyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (15) gave tetrasaccharide, 16. Selective deacetylation of 16 gave the acceptor 17 which was ribosylated to furnish the protected pentasaccharide, and finally deprotection led to the title compound.
