Synthesis of a β-GlcN-(1→4)-MurNAc building block en route to N-deacetylated peptidoglycan fragments
摘要:
Some bacteria present a variation in their peptidoglycan structure that is the absence of the N-acetyl substituent in the glucosamine residue. Very recently, this structural modification was demonstrated to be critical for host innate immune evasion in Listeria monocytogenes. To shed light on the molecular details of the evasion mechanism, the synthesis of some N-deacetylated peptidoglycan fragments is needed. En route to this goal a high-yielding synthesis of a GlcN-MurNAc disaccharide building block has been accomplished. A careful study of the optimal protecting groups and reaction conditions was done to have a complete beta-stereoselectivity in glycosylation as well as to ensure a high versatility to the disaccharide building block.

A Study on the Influence of the Structure of the Glycosyl Acceptors on the Stereochemistry of the Glycosylation Reactions with 2-Azido-2-Deoxy-Hexopyranosyl Trichloroacetimidates
relative influence of these factors is difficult to evaluate. For a given set of experimental conditions, the stereochemical course of these glycosylations depends on structural features of both glycosyl donor and glycosyl acceptor. It is a balance of these factors, where the structure of the glycosyl donor always plays a major role, which determines the stereochemistry of the coupling reaction. Therefore
[GRAPHICS]The glycosylation with trichloroacetimidates derived from different glycopyranoses bearing a nonparticipating group at C-2 was explored in different ionic liquids as solvents. The stereoselectivity of the reaction was significantly affected by the reaction media and by the anomeric configuration of the donor.

(Aka) to quantify the nucleophilicity of hydroxyl groups in glycosylation influenced by the steric, electronic and structural effects, providing a connection between experiments and computer algorithms. The subtle reactivity differences among the hydroxyl groups on various carbohydrate molecules can be defined by Aka, which is easily accessible by a simple and convenient automation system to assure
