Oligosaccharides Self-Assemble and Show Intrinsic Optical Properties
摘要:
Self-assembling peptides and oligonucleotides have given rise to synthetic materials with several applications in nanotechnology. Aggregation of synthetic oligosaccharides into well-defined architectures has not been reported even though natural polysaccharides, such as cellulose and chitin, are key structural components of biomaterials. Here, we report that six synthetic oligosaccharides, ranging from dimers to hexamers, self-assemble into nanostructures of varying morphologies and emit within the visible spectrum in an excitation-dependent manner. Well-defined differences in chain length, monomer modification, and aggregation methods yield glycomaterials with distinct shapes and properties. The excitation-dependent fluorescence in a broad range within the visible spectrum illustrates their potential for use in optical devices and imaging applications. We anticipate that our systematic approach of studying well-defined synthetic oligosaccharides will form the foundation of our understanding of carbohydrate interactions in nature.

The first synthesis of the repeating unit of S. aureus capsular polysaccharide type 8 is described. The repeating unit is an unusual trisaccharide sequence of three uncommon sugars, all connected via 1,2-cis linkages. The synthetic trisaccharide was equipped with capping methyl groups at the points of propagation of the polysaccharide sequence.

The regioselective C-3-O-acylation and O-methylation of a range of 4,6-O-benzylidene-beta -D-gluco- and galactopyranosides has been studied. Regioselectivity is achieved by forming the copper chelate of the 2,3-diol using either sodium hydride and copper(II) chloride, or copper(II) acetylacetanoate, or copper(II) acetate, prior to introduction of the acylating or methylating agent.

Regioselective C-3-O-acylation and O-alkylation of ethyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside, phenyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-glucopyranoside and phenyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-seleno-beta-D-glucopyranoside is described. Regioselectivity is obtained by first treating the benzylidene diols with sodium hydride and copper (II) chloride to form a THF soluble copper chelate. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
