A new (1 -> 6)-linked thiodisaccharide formed by two galactofuranosyl units has been synthesized. Methyl (methyl alpha,beta-D-galactofuranosid) uronate was employed as the starting compound, which was per-O-silylated with TBSCl and reduced with LiAlH4 to afford methyl 2,3,5-tri-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-beta-D-galactofuranoside (2 beta) as a key precursor for the preparation of methyl per-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-6-thio-beta-D-galactofuranoside (12). The free thiol group of 12 was glycosylated and the product O-deprotected to afford the target beta-D-Galf-S-(1 -> 6)-beta-D-Galf-OMe (14). The conformations of this thiodisaccharide were preliminarily studied using combined theoretical calculations and NMR data. Furthermore, the glycomimetic 14 showed to be a competitive inhibitor of the beta-galactofuranosidase from Penicillum fellutanum (K-i = 3.62 mM). (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
