Synthesis of a Dimer of β-(1,4)-l-Arabinosyl-(2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline Inspired by Art v 1, the Major Allergen of Mugwort
摘要:
N alpha-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-trans-4-hydroxyproline allyl ester (Boc-Hyp-OAII) was glycosylated with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-L-arabinose p-cresylthioglycoside in 60% yield with 4:1 beta:alpha stereoselectivity. Deprotection of N- and C-terminii independently gave a prolyl amine and prolyl carboxylate respectively that were coupled under standard conditions with 1-[bis-(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo-[4,5,b]-pyridininium hexafluorophosphate 3-oxide (N-HATU) to give the dimer 1 in 46% yield. These results represent the first steps toward the production of homogeneous oligomers to determine the minimal epitope of the Art v 1 allergen.
