Thermal decomposition of β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-hexopyranoses under neutral conditions
摘要:
beta-D-Galactopyranosyl-(1 -> 3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (LNB) and beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1 -> 3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (GNB) decompose rapidly upon heating into D-galactose and mono-dehydrated derivatives of the corresponding 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-hexoses, including 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-hex-2-enofuranoses and bicyclic 2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-hexofuranoses. The decomposition is conducted under neutral conditions where glycosyl linkages are generally believed to be stable. The half-lives of LNB and GNB were 8.1 min and 20 min, respectively, at 90 degrees C and pH 7.5. The pH dependency of decomposition rates suggests that the instabilities are an extension of the conditions for the peeling reaction, often observed with glycans of O-linked glycoproteins under alkaline conditions. Such decomposition under the neutral conditions is commonly observed with 3-O-linked reducing aldoses. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Non-catalytic synthesis of 2-acetamido-2,3-dideoxy-D-erythro-hex-2-enofuranose (Chromogen I) and 3-acetamido-5-(1′,2′-dihydroxyethyl)furan (Chromogen III) from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) was achieved, with the highest yields of 23.0% and 23.1%, respectively, in high-temperature water at 120–220 °C and 25 MPa with a reaction time of 7–39 s.
A novel synthesis of furanodictines A[2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-5-O-isovaleryl-D-glucofuranose (1)] and B [2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-5-O-isovaleryl-D-mannofuranose (2)] is described starting from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (G1cNAc). The synthetic protocol is based on deriving the epimeric bicyclic 3,6-anhydro sugars [2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-glucofuranose (4) and 2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-2-deoxy-D-mannofuranose (5)] from GlcNAc. Reaction with borate upon heating led to a facile transformation of GlcNAc into the desired epimeric 3,6-anhydro sugars. The C5 hydroxyl group of the 3,6-anhydro compounds 4 and 5 was regioselectively esterified with the isovaleryl chloride to complete the synthesis of furanodictines A and B, respectively. The targets 1 and 2 were synthesized in only two steps requiring no protection/deprotection. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
