A stereoselective synthesis of N-acetyl-thiochito-di-, -tri- and -tetra-saccharides is described. Coupling of methyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-4-O-triflyl-beta-4 or -alpha-D-galactopyranoside 19 with 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-1-thio- beta-D-glucopranose 5 in the presence of cysteamine in DMF gave, after de-O-acylation, methyl N,N'-diacetyl-beta- 9 and -alpha-thiochitobioside 21, respectively. Different behaviours of peracetylated methyl beta- 10 and alpha-thiochitobioside 22 towards acetolysis with Ac2O-AcOH-H2SO4 solution were observed, with the beta-isomer giving acyclic sugar species together with the desired thiochitobiose peracetate 11, while the alpha-isomer gave exclusively the thiochitobiose peracetate 11. This remarkable difference between alpha- and beta-glycosides was further demonstrated by comparative acetolysis of methyl 2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha- 23 and -beta-D-glucopyranoside 24. Methyl N,N',N ''-triacetylthiochitotriosides 29 and 30 were synthesized through conversion of N,N'-diacetylthiochitobiose peracetate 11 into N,N'-diacetyl-1,4-dithiochitobiose derivative 28, followed by its coupling with triflates 4 and 19 in the presence of cysteamine. Similarly, extension of the sugar chain to a higher homologue was achieved by converting methyl N,N',N ''-triacetylthiochitotrioside 30 into the N,N',N ''-triacetyl-1,4,4'-trithiochitotriose derivative 33, the coupling of which with triflate 19 in the presence of cysteamine provided the methyl N,N',N '',N triple prime-tetraacetylthiochitotetraoside 34 after de-O-acylation.
