A combination of protecting groups for the hydroxy groups of fucose is presented. Notably, this combination enables the synthesis of glycopeptides containing acid-sensitive fucose. The relationship between the design of the protecting groups for the alcohols of fucose and the acid stability of the fucosidic linkage is elucidated. The hydrolysis of pseudo-glycopeptides incorporating various fucose-alcohol-protecting groups is investigated in a trifluoroacetic acid cocktail. The nature of the protecting group significantly affected the acid stability of the fucosidic bond, with a combination of 4-methylbenzyl and levulinoyl groups offering optimal protection of the fucosidic bond. These protecting groups were employed to realize the practical synthesis of glycopeptides containing fucose. To demonstrate the usefulness of this protecting group combination, a model octapeptide was synthesized by 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl solid-phase peptide synthesis. The decomposition of the fucosidic linkage during the final deprotection of solid-phase peptide synthesis was prevented, yielding the desired fucosylated peptide. Finally, the remaining levulinoyl group was removed by hydrazine under neutral conditions to give the fully deprotected glycopeptide.
本文介绍了用于保护岩藻糖羟基的基团组合。值得注意的是,这种组合能够合成含有对酸敏感的岩藻糖的糖肽。本文阐明了岩藻糖醇保护基团的设计与岩藻糖苷键的酸稳定性之间的关系。在一种三氟乙酸混合物中研究了含有各种岩藻糖醇保护基团的假糖肽的水解。保护基团的性质显著影响了岩藻糖苷键的酸稳定性,其中4-甲基苄基和乙酰基的组合为岩藻糖苷键提供了最佳保护。这些保护基团被用于实现含有岩藻糖的糖肽的实际合成。为了证明这种保护基团组合的有效性,通过9-芴甲氧羰基固相肽合成法合成了八肽模型。固相肽合成法在最终脱保护过程中岩藻糖苷键的分解被阻止,从而产生了所需的岩藻糖肽。最后,在中性条件下用肼除去剩余的乙酰基,得到完全脱保护的糖肽。
