Stereoselective Chemical Synthesis of Sugar Nucleotides via Direct Displacement of Acylated Glycosyl Bromides
摘要:
The use of Leloir glycosyltransferases to prepare biologically relevant oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates requires access to sugar nucleoside diphosphates, which are notoriously difficult to efficiently synthesize and purify. We report a novel stereoselective route to UDP- and GDP-alpha-d-mannose as well as UDP- and GDP-beta-l-fucose via direct displacement of acylated glycosyl bromides with nucleoside 5'-diphosphates.
