Sialyl Lewis (sLe(x)) is the smallest naturally occurring carbohydrate ligand that binds to E-Selectin on the activated endothelium. We report here the total synthesis of acetic acid-sLe(x) analog (12), for testing as a therapeutic agent. Methoxyethyl 4-O-(3,4-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) was prepared starting from the methoxyethyl-beta-D-lactoside (2), which was selectively benzoylated to give the methoxyethyl 2,6-di-O-benzoyl-4-beta-(2,6-di-O-benzoyl-3,4-0-isopropylidene-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4). Glycosylation of acceptor 4 with methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-L-fucopyranoside (5) in the presence of cupric bromide and tetrabutylammonium bromide afforded the corresponding methoxyethyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl-3-beta-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-alpha-L-fucopyranosyl)-4-0-(2,6-di-O-benzyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-P-D-glucopyranoside (6). Selective removal of the 4 '',6 ''-O-isopropylidene group from 6 gave the deprotected trisaccharide 7. The regioselective esterification of O-3 '' of trisaccharide 8 (obtained from the dibutylstannylene derivative of 7) with benzyl-2-bromoacetate and tetrabutylammonium bromide afforded the 3 ''-O-carbobenzyloxymethyl trisaccharide derivative 9, which on saponification and hydrogenolysis with palladium-charcoal afforded the target trisaccharide 12 glycomimetic of Sialyl Lewis (sLe(x)) trisaccharide omitting the sialic acid moiety.
