Alkyl Galactopyranosides: Rotational Population Dependence of the Hydroxymethyl Group on the Aglycon and Its Absolute Configuration and on the Anomeric Configuration
摘要:
The rotational populations of the hydroxymethyl group in chiral and nonchiral alkyl alpha- and beta-galactopyranosides proved, on the basis of circular dichroism (CD) and H-1 NMR data, to be dependent on the structure of the aglycon: the population of the gt and tg rotamers increased and decreased, respectively, as the pK(a) of the bonded alcohol (aglycon) increased, while the population of the gg rotamer remained practically constant. Furthermore, low-temperature CD measurements proved that the most stable rotamer is the gt, and not the tg. In addition, a clear correlation between the rotational populations and the absolute configuration of the chiral aglycon was observed; namely, higher and smaller gt and tg populations were observed for the (S)-alkyl beta-D-galactopyranosides than for their (R)-alkyl beta-D-galactopyranoside counterparts, the opposite behavior being observed for the cl-anomers. The results point to the exo anomeric effect as being responsible for these rotational dependencies, as well as to nonbonding interactions between the aglycon and the chromophore at C6 for those stereoisomers having in their aglycon a bulky substituent syn to the endocyclic oxygen (O5). In addition, the chemical shift differences (Delta delta) of the aglyconic protons of galactosylated chiral alcohols proved to be characteristic of the absolute configuration of the bonded chiral alcohol.

conversion of oligosaccharides to monosaccharide subunits bearing 4-bromobenzoate and 4-methoxycinnamate chromophores have been developed based on acetolysis/bromination reactions for glycosidiccleavage of per (bromobenzoylated) oligosaccharides. The method offers an alternative means to conventional methylation analysis of oligosaccharides.
Quinofuracins A-E, novel anthraquinone derivatives containing beta-D-galactofuranose that were isolated from the fungus Staphylotrichum boninense PF1444, induced p53-dependent cell death in human tumor cells. The structures of quinofuracins A-E, including absolute configurations, were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical transformation studies. Quinofuracins were classified into three groups according to the aglycone moieties. 5'-Oxoaverantin was present in quinofuracins A-C, whereas averantin and versicolorin B were identified in quinofuracins D and E, respectively. These quinofuracins induced p53-dependent growth suppression in human glioblastoma LNZTA3 cells.

(EN) The invention provides a method for determining the structure of a carbohydrate sample, comprising perbenzoylating a carbohydrate sample with a perbenzoylating agent to protect free hydroxyl groups in the carbohydrate sample; cleaving the glycosidic linkages of the perbenzoylated carbohydrate sample by contacting the carbohydrate sample with an amount of BrCH2COBr/H2O effective to cleave the carbohydrate sample; treating the resulting product with AgOAc and methanol or AgOTf/TMU and methanol to effect glycosidation; treating the resulting product with thiourea to remove bromoacetate groups; subjecting the resulting product to effect methoxycinnamoylation of free hydroxyl groups; separating the resulting benzoates with high-pressure liquid chromatography; performing mass, ultraviolet and circular dichroic spectroscopy on the separated benzoates; and comparing the spectra so obtained with reference spectra or calculated values to identify the structure of the carbohydrate. The invention also provides an apparatus for automatically determining the structure of a carbohydrate molecule such as an oligosaccharide.(FR) L'invention présente un procédé de détermination de la structure d'un échantillon de glucide, consistant à perbenzoyler un échantillon de glucide à l'aide d'un agent perbenzoylant afin de protéger les groupes hydroxyle libres se trouvant dans l'échantillon de glucide; à cliver les liaisons glycosidiques de l'échantillon de glucide perbenzoylé, par mise en contact de l'échantillon de glucide avec une quantité de BrCH2COBr/H2O efficace pour cliver l'échantillon de glucide, à traiter le produit ainsi obtenu à l'aide d'AgOAc et de méthanol ou d'AgOTf/TMU et de méthanol afin de procéder à une glycosidation; à traiter le produit ainsi obtenu à l'aide de thio-urée afin d'éliminer les groupes bromoacétate; à soumettre le produit ainsi obtenu à une méthoxycinnamoylation de groupes hydroxyle libres; à séparer les benzoates obtenus par chromatographie liquide sous haute pression; à procéder à une spectroscopie dichroïque de masse, ultraviolette et circulaire sur les benzoates séparés; et à comparer les spectres ainsi obtenus avec des spectres de référence ou des valeurs calculées afin d'identifier la structure du glucide.
