α:β Selectivity in the synthesis of 3-substituted, 4-methyl umbelliferone glycosides of N-acetyl glucosamine and chitobiose
摘要:
The influence of phenolic acceptor nucleophilicity; for example, 3-substituted, 4-methylumbelliferones, and glycosyl donor electrophilicity; for example, 3- and 4-substituted N-acetylglucosamines, on glycosylation stereochemistry has been evaluated. In a systematic comparison, the stereochemical outcome as well as the reaction yield appeared to be influenced by the 3- and 4-substituents of the donor as well as the 3-substituent of the aryl acceptor. In the context of synthesizing a fluorogenic substrate for oligosaccharyltransferase, an alpha-glycoside was desired. Although most acceptor-donor pairs led to predominantly or exclusively the beta-glycoside, reaction of the most activated (3,4-di-O-benzyl) donor and the least nucleophilic acceptor (3-Br), resulted in a 1:1 ratio of alpha,beta arylglycosides.

Studies Related to Synthesis of Glycophosphatidylinositol Membrane-Bound Protein Anchors. 6. Convergent Assembly of Subunits
摘要:
Glycophosphatidylinositol anchors of membrane-bound proteins are thought to comprise a common pentasaccharide core containing mannan, glucosamine, and inositol residues. A synthetic route to this core is described. In addition, the complete heptasaccharide moiety of the rat brain Thy-1 membrane anchor, the first mammalian membrane anchor to be characterized, has been synthesized. In the case of the Thy-1 anchor, the synthetic plan is based on three building blocks comprising glucosamine-inositol, galactosamine-mannose, and trimannan residues. Although glycosyl donors other than n-pentenyl glycosides (NPGs) have been used in preparing each of these building blocks, the final assembly of the heptasaccharide utilizes NPGs as the only glycosyl donors. The mildness of the conditions for these coupling reactions has allowed us to make provisions for subsequent installation of the three phosphodiester units.

role of GPIanchors is of paramount importance; however, we are still far from fully understanding the structure–function relationship of these molecules. One major limiting factor has been the tiny quantities available from natural sources; obtaining homogeneous and well-defined GPI structures by synthesis, is both a challenge and an attractive goal. We report here the convergent synthesis of the essential
Azido-Phenylselenylation of 3-<i>O</i>-Benzyl-2-Deoxy-5,6-<i>O</i>-Isopropylidene-D-<i>Arabino</i>-1,4-Anhydro-Hex-1-Enitol: Convenient Preparation of 2-Azido-2-Deoxy-D-Glucofurano-and Glucopyranoside Donors.
Azido-phenylselenylation of 3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-5,6-O-isopropylidene-D-arabino-1, 4-anhydrohex-1-enitol (1) afforded an alpha/beta mixture of phenyl 2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-5,6-O-isopropylidene-1-seleno-D-glucofuranoside (2) together with a small amount of 3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-5,6-O-isopropylidene-2-phenylseleno-D-glucofur?anosyl azide (3). Acetolysis of the mixture afforded 2-azido-2-deoxy-glucofuranosyl donor (4). Hydrolysis of the acetal group and of the selenoglycoside 2 followed by acetylation and removal of the anomeric acetate provide an efficient access to 5,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-3-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose (8), synthetic equivalent of D-glucosamine.
