摘要:
The synthesis of dibenzyl 6-O-naphthylmethyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-galactofuranosyl-(1 -> 5)-2,3-di-O-benzoyl-6-O-benzyl- beta-D-galactofuranosyl-(1 -> 4)-3-O-benzyl-2-O-pivaloyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -> 3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4,6-di-O-benzoyl-alpha-glucopyranosyl phosphate (1), a protected form of the tetrasaccharide phosphate of the linkage region of the arabinogalactan-peptidoglycan complex in the mycobacterial cell wall, has been accomplished. Key steps include the coupling of four monosaccharide building blocks with complete stereoselectivity by glycosylations employing thioglycosides, 2'-carboxybenzyl glycosides, and glycosyl fluorides as glycosyl donors. The alpha-glycosyl phosphate linkage was also stereoselectively elaborated by reaction of a tetrasaccharide hermacetal with tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate in the presence of a base. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
