Stereocontrolled Synthesis of 6′-Deoxy-6′-Fluoro Derivatives of Methyl α-Sophoroside, α-Laminaribioside, α-Kojibioside and α-Nigeroside

Abstract

Sequential tritylation, benzoylation and detritylation of D-glucose, followed by resolution of the crude product by chromatograpEy gave crystalline 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-benzoyl-α- (1) and β-D-glucopyranose (2). Compound 1, 2, and the corresponding methyl α-glycoside 5 were treated with dimethylaminosulfur trifluoride (methyl DAST) to give, respectively, the 6-deoxy-6-fluoro derivatives 3, 4, and 6. Crystalline 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-6-deoxy-6-fluoro-α-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (10) could be obtained from either 3, 4, or 5 by reaction with dichloromethyl methyl ether in the presence of anhydrous zinc chloride. Silver trifluoromethanesulfonate-promoted reaction of 10 with methyl 2-O-(9) and 3-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-α-D-glucopyranoside (8) gave the corresponding, (β-linked disaccharidës in high yield. Subsequent deprotection afforded the 6′-deoxy-6′-fluoro derivatives of methyl α-sophoroside (13) and methyl 6′ -deoxy-o′-fluoro-α-laminaribioside (16). Condensation of 8 and 9 with 6-O-acetyl-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl chloride in the presence of silver perchlorate was highly stereoselective and produced the α-linked disaccharidës 17 and 21, respectively, in excellent yield. Deacetylation of 17 and 21, followed by fluorination of the resulting alcohols 18 and 22 with methyl DAST and subsequent hydrogenolysis, gave 6′-deoxy-6′-fluoro derivatives of methyl α-kojibioside and methyl α-nigeroside 20 and 24, respectively.     

Sulfated 1, 6-AnhydrO-4-O-(β-D-Glucopyranosyluronate)-β-D-Glucopyranosyl Derivatives: Syntheses And Conformations

Abstract

A series of sulfated 1,6-anhydro-4-O-(β-D-glucopyranosyluronate)-β-D-glucopyranose derivatives 7 and 9-13 with different degrees of charge was synthesized from a common disaccharide precursor 1,6-anhydro-2-azido-2-deoxy-4-O-(methyl2,3-di-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyransyl-uronate-β-D-glucopyranose (5). For the 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose moiety of this compound a boat-chair equilibrium is found, the boat conformation being stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bridge. The fully sulfated β-D-glucopyranosyl-uronates 10 and 13 occur in unusual nonchair conformations.     

Synthesis of Methyl 2,6-Dideoxy-3-C-Methyl-α-D-ribo- hexopyranoside (Methyl α-D-Mycaroside), a Component of the Antitomor Agent Mithramycin

Methyl α-D-mannopyranoside (4) was converted into methyl 2,6-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-ct-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (20) (methyl α-D-mycaroside) by an efficient sequence of reactions (Schemes 1 and 3). A similar set of reactions also was used to convert L-rhamnose (2) into methyl α-L-mycaroside (21). Attempted synthesis of methyl 2,6-diseoxy-3-C-methyl-a-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (22) (methyl α-D-olivomycosidej from methyl 6-deoxy-3-C-methyl-4-O-(2,2-dimethylpropanoyl)～2-O-trif lyl-α-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (18), a compound generated during～synthesis of 20, was thwarted by a methyl migration which produced methyl 2,6-dideoxy-2-C-methyl-α-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (23).     

Synthesis of a DI- and A Trisaccharide Related to the Antigen From Klebsiella Type 16

Using methyl triflate as promoter, methyl O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→4)-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-β-D-glucopyranosyluronate) and methyl O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-β-D-galacto-pyranosyl)-(1→-4)-O-(2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-1(1→4)-(methyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-β-D-glucopyranosyluronate) have been synthesised. Removal of protecting groups gave the di- and trisaccharide in the form of their methyl ester methyl glycoside related to the antigen of Klebsiella type 16.     

Synthesis, structure, and biological activity of ferrocenyl carbohydrate conjugates

Seven ferrocenyl carbohydrate conjugates were synthesized. Coupling reactions of monosaccharide derivatives with ferrocene carbonyl chloride produced {6-N-(methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside)}-1-ferrocene carboxamide (3), {1-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose)}-1-ferrocene carboxylate (4), and {6-O-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranose)}-1-ferrocene carboxylate (5). Similarly, 1,1'-bis(carbonyl chloride)ferrocene was coupled with the appropriate sugars to produce the disubstituted analogues bis{6-N-(methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxamide (8), bis{1-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxylate (9), and bis{6-O-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxylate (10). {6-N-(Methyl-6-amino-6-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside)}-1-ferrocene carboxamide monohydrate (12) was synthesized via amide coupling of an activated ferrocenyl ester with the corresponding carbohydrate. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. X-ray crystallography confirmed the solid-state structure of three ferrocenyl carbohydrate conjugates: 2-N-(1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose)-1-ferrocene carboxamide (1), 1-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-deoxy-1-thio-D-glucopyranose)-1-ferrocene carboxylate (2), and 12. The above compounds, along with bis{2-N-(1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxamide (6), bis{1-S-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-deoxy-1-thio-D-glucopyranose)}-1,1'-ferrocene carboxylate (7), and 2-N-(2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose)-1-ferrocene carboxamide (11) were examined for cytotoxicity in cell lines (L1210 and HTB-129) and for antimalarial activity in Plasmodium falciparum strains (D10, 3D7, and K1, a chloroquine-resistant strain). In general, the compounds were nontoxic in the human cell line tested (HTB-129), and compounds 4, 7, and 9 showed moderate antimalarial activity in one or more of the P. falciparum strains.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of Rhizobium sin-1 lipid A derivatives

A highly convergent strategy for the synthesis of several derivatives of the lipid A of Rhizobium sin-1 has been developed. The approach employed the advanced intermediate 3-O-acetyl-6-O-(3-O-acetyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-d-glucopyrano-syl)-2-azido-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-1-thio-alpha-d-glucopyranoside (5), which is protected in such a way that the anomeric center, the C-2 and C-2' amino groups, and the C-3 and C-3' hydroxyls can be selectively functionalized. The synthetic strategy was used for the preparation of 2-deoxy-6-O-[2-deoxy-3-O-[(R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecanoyl]-2-[(R)-3-octacosanoyloxy-hexadecan]amido-beta-d-glucopyranosyl]-2-[(R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecan]amido-3-O-[(R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecanoyl]-alpha-d-glucopyranose (11) and 2-deoxy-6-O-[2-deoxy-3-O-[(R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecanoyl]-2-[(R)-3-octacosanoyloxy-hexadecan]amido-beta-d-glucopyranosyl]-2-[(R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecan]amido-3-O-[(R)-3-hydroxy-hexadecanoyl]-d-glucono-1,5-lactone (13), which contain an unusual octacosanoic acid moiety and differ in the oxidation state of the anomeric center. The results of biological studies indicate that 11 and 13 lack the proinflammatory effects of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharides (LPS). Furthermore, 13 emulated the ability of heterogeneous R. sin-1 LPS to antagonize enteric LPS, providing evidence for the critical role of the gluconolactone moiety of R. sin-1 LPS in mediating this antagonistic effect. Compound 13 is the first example of a lipid A derivative that is devoid of phosphate but possesses antagonistic properties, making it an attractive lead compound for development of a drug to use in the treatment of Gram-negative septicemia.

Also synthesized were the corresponding derivatives of O-α-L-fucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1→3)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranose and O-β-L-fucopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-galactopyranose.

     

Synthesis, characterization and dioxygen reactivity of copper(I) complexes with glycoligands

A new family of copper(I) complexes with "glycoligands" containing a central saccharide scaffold, with 2-picolyl ether groups or 2-picolylamine or N-imidazolylamine groups, has been prepared and characterized. For this purpose, the following tetradentate ligands have been synthesized: methyl 2,3-di-O-(2-picolyl)-alpha-D-lyxofuranoside (L1), 1,5-anhydro-2-deoxy-3,4-di-O-(2-picolyl)-d-galactitol (L2), 5-(amino-N-(2-salicyl))-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(2-picolyl)-alpha-D-xylofuranose (L3), and 5-(amino-N-(2-salicyl))-5-deoxy-1,2-O-isopropylidene-3-O-(methylimidazol-2-yl)-alpha-D-xylofuranose (L4). The ligands and the complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies, ESI mass spectrometry, and cyclic voltammetry. Collaterally with the experimental work, HF-DFT(B3LYP/6-31G*) computations were performed to obtain additional structural information. The Cu(I) complexes are found to be pentacoordinated. The redox properties and the O2-reactivity of the Cu(I)Ln complexes have been studied. Reactions of Cu(I) complexes with dioxygen in ethanol yield stable Cu(II) complexes as confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometry and EPR spectroscopy.     

Stereoselective α-alkylation of methyl 6-deoxy-3,4-di-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-2-O-(2-methyl-3-oxobutanoyl)-α-d-glucopyranoside

Allylation and benzylation at the α-carbon of α-methylated acetoacetyl (2-methyl-3-oxobutanoyl) group incorporated into the 2-OH of methyl 6-deoxy-3,4-O-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-α-d-glucopyranoside provided the respective α,α-differentially alkylated acetoacetyl derivatives, both with high diastereoselectivity. Thus-obtained doubly alkylated products possess an all-carbon quaternary stereogenic center with an absolute stereochemistry opposite to that introduced by using the 4-O-acetoacetyl regioisomer as the alkylation substrate.     

Synthesis of Chiral Spiroacetals from Carbohydrates

Chiral spiroacetals of the 1,7-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, and 1,6-dioxaspiro[4.4]nonane types have been prepared from carbohydrates in pyranose or furanose forms. The spirocyclization reaction has been accomplished from a conveniently homologated carbohydrate by an intramolecular hydrogen abstraction reaction promoted by alkoxy radicals. Thus, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-deoxy-1-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranose (2) was photolyzed with visible light in the presence of (diacetoxyiodo)benzene and iodine to give a mixture of (1R)-(3) and (1S)-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-deoxy-D-glucopyranose-1-spiro-2'-tetrahydrofuran (4). The photolysis of methyl 6-deoxy-6-(2'-hydroxyethyl)-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (8) gave the isomeric spiroacetals methyl (5S)- (9) and (5R)-6-deoxy-5,2'-epoxy-6-ethyl-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (10) in which the spirocenter is now located at C-5. The spiroacetals of the [5.5]undecane series: methyl (5R)- (19) and (5S)-6-deoxy-5,3'-epoxy-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-6-propyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (20) have been prepared starting from methyl 6-deoxy-6-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (18). The reaction has also been applied to hexofuranoses and 1-deoxy-1-(3'-hydroxypropyl)-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-mannofuranose (21) gave rise to (1S)- (22) and (1R)-1-deoxy-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-mannofuranose-1-spiro-2'-tetrahydrofuran (23); and 1-deoxy-1-(4'-hydroxybutyl)-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-mannofuranose (28) to (1R)- (30) and (1S)-1-deoxy-2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-mannofuranose-1-spiro-2'-tetrahydropyran (32). Both spiroacetal enantiomers are formally available from the same carbohydrate.

Synthesis of heparin oligosaccharides and their interaction with eosinophil-derived neurotoxin

A convenient route for the synthesis of heparin oligosaccharides involving regioselective protection of D-glucosamine and a concise preparation of rare L-ido sugars from diacetone α-D-glucose is described. Stereoselective coupling of a D-glucosamine-derived trichloroacetimidate with a 1,6-anhydro-β-L-idopyranosyl 4-alcohol gave the desired α-linked disaccharide, which was used as repeating unit for dual chain elongation and termination. Stepwise assembly from the reducing to the non-reducing end with a D-glucosamine-derived monosaccharide as starting unit furnished the oligosaccharide skeletons having different chain lengths. A series of functional group transformations afforded the expected heparin oligosaccharides with 3, 5 and 7 sugar units. Interaction of these oligosaccharides with eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN), a cationic ribonuclease and a mediator produced by human eosinophils, was further investigated. The results revealed that at 5 μg mL(-1), the heptasaccharide has sufficiently strong interference to block EDN binding to Beas-2B cells. The tri- and pentasaccharides have moderate inhibitory properties at 50 μg mL(-1) concentration, but no inhibition has been observed at 10 μg mL(-1). The IC(50) values of the tri-, penta- and heptasaccharides are 69.4, 47.2 and 0.225 μg mL(-1), respectively.
