Building Up Key Segments of N-Glycans in the Gas Phase: Intrinsic Structural Preferences of the α(1,3) and α(1,6) Dimannosides
摘要:
The intrinsic conformer specific vibrational spectra of two important subunits of the core pentasaccharide of Winked glycans, the alpha(1,3) and alpha(1,6) dimannosides, have been recorded in the gas phase. Coupling these measurements with a computational exploration of their conformational landscapes has enabled their conformational assignment and has identified characteristic vibrational signatures associated with particular conformational families-including those that do or do not display inter-ring hydrogen bonding across the glycosidic linkage. In addition, the IR spectra of the monosaccharide moieties provide benchmarks, through which the conformational assignments can be refined. This introduces a general concept of modularity and secondary structure in oligosaccharides-essential for the success of similar studies on larger oligosaccharides in the future.

High mannose glycans composed of α (1→2) and α (1→6) branched sugars are important components of the HIV-associated envelope glycoprotein, gp120. These substructures can be efficiently prepared in solution from glycosyl iodide precursors requiring only a slight excess of the iodide donor, which offers advantages over solid-phase methods that require more than 5 equiv of donor. During the reaction,

The use of glycosyl iodides as an effective method for the preparation of glycosides has had a recent resurgence in carbohydrate chemistry, despite its early roots in which these species were believed to be of limited use. Renewed interest in these species as glycosylating agents has been spurred by their demonstrated utility in the stereoselective preparation of O-glycosides, and other glycosylic compounds. This review provides a brief historical account followed by an examination of the use of glycosyl iodides in the synthesis of oligosaccharicles and other glycomimetics, including C-glycosylic compounds, glycosyl azides and N-glycosides.
