Synthesis of α- and β-Methyl NEU5Ac α-(2→8) NEU5Ac Disaccharides

ABSTRACT

Acid hydrolysis of colominic acid, an α-(2→8)-linked oligomer of sialic acid, yielded Neu5Ac α-(2→8) Neu5Ac (di-Neu5Ac) 2 as one of the products. Starting from this disaccharide, it was possible to prepare two potential di-Neu5Ac donors, 5 and 8, as their corresponding 2-chloro derivatives. Subsequent reaction of the donor 8 with methanol as a simple acceptor led to the α- and β-methyl Neu5Ac α-(2→8) Neu5Ac glycosides.     

Enzymatic α(1→2)-l-fucosylation: investigation of the specificity of the α(1→2)-l-galactosyltransferase from Helix pomatia

The α(1→2)-l-galactosyltransferase from Helix pomatia transfers an l-fucosyl residue from GDP-l-Fucose to a terminal, non-reducing d-galactopyranosyl moiety of an oligosaccharide. The extent of the enzyme's specificity towards the stereochemistry at the d-galactopyranosyl anomeric centre, the site of interglycosidic linkage and the nature of the subterminal oligosaccharide residue has been investigated using HPAEC-PAD and MALDI-TOF technology. This α(1→2)-l-galactosyltransferase is specific for d-galactopyranosyl β-linkages, independent of the site of the interglycosidic linkage and aglycone configuration and with limited specificity for the nature of the subterminal sugar residue.     

Highly Efficient α‐Sialylation by Virtue of Fixed Dipole Effects of N‐Phthalyl Group: Application to Continuous Flow Synthesis of α(2‐3)‐and α(2‐6)‐Neu5Ac‐Gal Motifs by Microreactor

Highly α‐selective sialylation of sialic acid N‐phenyltrifluoroacetimidate with various galactose and lactose acceptors has been achieved by introducing the C‐5 N‐phthalyl group on the donor. The “fixed dipole effect” of the N‐phthalyl group was proposed to explain the high reactivity and α‐selectivity. The microfluidic system was applied to the present α‐sialylation, which is amenable to large‐scale synthesis. The N‐phthalyl group was removed by treatment with methylhydrazine acetate, for which protocol can be readily applied to the synthesis of a variety of sialic acid‐containing oligosaccharides.      

Regioselective α(2→3)-Sialylation of LeX and Lea by Sialidase-Catalyzed Transglycosylation

Considerable effort has been devoted to the development of new methods for α-selective sialylation due to the growing importance of the synthetic sialoglycoconjugates in glycobiology³. The synthesis of α-sialoside has been establised by chemical routes,⁴ which often involve many steps and are complicated. The promising chemoenzymatic procedure through the use of sialyltransferases has already become a preparative technique.⁵ However, laborious isolation and the pronounced acceptor specificity of the transferases limit their synthetic potential. Recently, a novel procedure for α-sialylation has been reported, which uses sialosides of synthetic substrate as donors and is catalyzed by sialidase in place of sialyltransferase. Thiem et a1.⁶ have reported the enzymatic synthesis of α(2→6)-linked sialyl galactose, glucose, lactose and lactosamine in preference to the corresponding α(2→3)-linked derivatives employing sialidase from vibrio cholerae, while Ajisaka et al.⁷ have synthesized α(2→3)-linked sialyl lactose and lactosamine with sialidase from new castle disease virus.

Their structures have been established by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.     

2-Polyfluoroalkylchromones. 11. Synthesis and structures of 5-hydroxy-3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-5-polyfluoroalkyl-Δ2-pyrazolines and 3(5)-(2-hydroxyaryl)-5(3)-polyfluoroalkylpyrazoles

The reaction of 2-hydroxy-2-polyfluoroalkylchroman-4-ones with hydrazine affords 5-hydroxy-3-(2-hydroxyaryl)-5-polyfluoroalkyl-²-pyrazolines, whereas 2-polyfluoroalkylchromones under similar conditions produce 3(5)-(2-hydroxyaryl)-5(3)-polyfluoroalkylpyrazoles. 5-(2-Hydroxyaryl)-1-methyl-3-polyfluoroalkylpyrazoles were synthesized in the reaction with methylhydrazine, and the reaction with phenylhydrazine afforded regioisomeric 3(5)-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-5(3)-polyfluoroalkylpyrazoles.     

Synthesis of propyl O-(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→3)-[2,4-di-O-(2s-methylbutyryl)-α-L-rhamno-pyranosyl]-(1→2)-(3-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→2)-β-D-fucopyranoside,the tetrasaccharide moiety of Tricolorin A

Propyl O-(α-L-rhamncpyranosyl)-(1→3)-[2,4-di-O-(2s-methylbutyryl)-α-L-rham-nopyranosyl]-(1→2)-(3-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→2)-β-D-fucopyranoside (1), the tetrasac-charide moiety of Tricolorin A, was synthesized in total 23 steps with a longest linear sequence of 10 steps, and overall yield of 3.7% from D-Glucose. The isomerization of the dioxolane-type berzyli-dene in the presence of NIS/AgOTf was observed. Tetrasaccharide 1 exhibited no activity against the cultured P388 cell as Tricolorin A did.

Indole derivatives. 138. Synthesis of α-(5-indolyl)ethylamine and 5-(2-aminoethoxy)- and 5-(aminoethylthio)tryptamines

The reaction of 5-acetylindole with hydroxylamine with subsequent reduction of the resulting oxime gave -(5-indolyl)ethylamine. Coupling of 4-(2-phthalimidoethoxy)- and 4-(2-phthalimidoethylthio)phenyldiazonium chlorides with ethyl -acetyl--phthalimidovalerate, subsequent cyclization of the resulting hydrazones, hydrolysis, decarboxylation, and removal of the phthalyl protecting group led to the formation of 5-(2-aminoethoxy)- and 5-(2-aminoethylthio)tryptamines, respectively.For Communication 137, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 46–48, January, 1992.     

Alternative Syntheses of (l→3)-β-D-Galacto-Oligosaccharides

ABSTRACT

Galactosyl halides bearing different substituents at O-3 [i.e. acetyl (15), benzoyl (14), benzyl (3), bromoacetyl (12), and the 2, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl group (17)] have been prepared, and used to study the stereoselectivity of the coupling reaction to position O-3 of different galactose derivatives [i.e. methyl 2, 4, 6-tri-O-acetyl-(9) and 2, 4, 6-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (7), l, 2, 4, 6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactose (6) and O-(2, 4, 6-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→3)-β-D-galactose (33)], as well as to benzoic acid. In more polar solvents, using silver trifluoro-methanesulfonate as the promoter, a higher proportion of β-linked products was formed, whereas with silver perchlorate as the promoter the α-linked product predominated. Under basic conditions, applied to prevent anomerisation of 1-O-benzoylated nucleophiles 6 and 33, no orthoesters were found as end products. Under those conditions, a better overall yield of the β-(l→3)-linked galactotriose 31 was obtained by condensation of die disaccharide glycosyl donor 17 and the monosaccharide glycosyl acceptor 6 than by condensation of 14 and 33. The disaccharide glycosyl chloride 17 was obtained in 75% yield by the cleavage of the corresponding methyl glycoside with dichloromethyl methyl ether.     

Synthesis of (1→5)-β-d-galactofuranan and cyclo[(1→5)-β-d-galactofurano]oligosaccharides

Synthesis of a linear (1→5)-β-d-galactofuranan was accomplished by trityl-cyanoethylidene polycondensation. On 10-fold reduction in the monomer concentration, the condensation products are cyclic oligosaccharides; the formation of 1,5-anhydro-α-d-galactofuranose was also demonstrated.     

SYNTHESIS OF β-d-Glcp-(1→2)-[β-d-Ribf-(1→3)-]α-l-Rhap-(1→3)-α-l-Rhap-(1→2)-α-l-Rhap,THE REPEATING UNIT OF THE LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE OF Acetobacter diazotrophicus PAL 5

A pentasaccharide, the major repeating unit of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the nitrogen fixing bacterium Acetobacter diazotrophicus PAL 5 was efficiently synthesized as its allyl glycoside using a regio- and stereo-selective strategy. The key acceptor, allyl 3-O-acetyl-4-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (3), was prepared by selective 3-O-acetylation of allyl 4-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside. Condensation of 3 with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate furnished the disaccharide 5. Deallylation and subsequent trichloroacetimidation of 5 afforded 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-3-O-acetyl-4-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (10). Selective 3-O-glycosylation of allyl α-l-rhamnopyranoside (1) with 10 followed by benzoylation gave trisaccharide (12), which could be conveniently converted to a donor (14). Condensation of 14 with allyl 3,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (15) gave tetrasaccharide 16. Selective deacetylation of 16 gave the acceptor 17 which was ribosylated to furnish the protected pentasaccharide, and finally deprotection led to the title compound.     

Crystal Structure and Spectra Characters of 2-Benzoly-3-(4-(1,2,4-triazole)-5-anilino-thiophene and 2-(4-Methyl-benzoly)-3-(4- chlrolphenyl)-3-(1,2,4-triazole)-5-anilino-thiophene

Triazole derivatives are widely studied, because they represent the largest group of modern fungicides and are widely used both in human and veterinary therapy and in agriculture. We synthesized the title compound in which the thiophene ring was substituted by a 1,2,4-triazole group, a phenacyl group, a phenylaminol group and a benzene ring.     

Assembly of homolinear α(1→2)-linked nonamannoside on ionic liquid support

An improved method for the synthesis of large and complex oligosaccharides on ionic liquid (IL) support was developed. A strategy to attach the acceptor on IL using a more stable ether linker was used to prevent undesirable decomposition and side products. A "dissolution-evaporation-precipitation" purification procedure was also developed by combining the advantages of precipitation and solid-liquid extraction to reduce mechanical loss and purification time. This approach was successfully used for the rapid assembly of ionic liquid supported homolinear α(1→2)-linked nonamannoside in 25.2% overall yield within 28.5 h.     

CHEMOENZYMATIC SYNTHESIS OF NeuAcα-(2→3)-Galβ-(1→3)-[NeuAcα-(2→6)]-GalNAcα1- O-(Z)-Serine (N-PROTECTED MUC II OLIGOSACCHARIDE–SERINE)

An efficient synthesis of NeuAcα-(2→3)-Galβ-(1→3)-[NeuAcα-(2→6)]-GalNAcα1- O-(Z)-Serine (N-protected MUC II oligosaccharide–serine, 14) by a chemoenzymatic strategy is described. The enzymatic reaction of GalNAcα1- O-(Z)-Ser- OAll 7 with pNP-β-Gal in the presence of recombinant β1,3-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans gave Galβ-(1→3)-GalNAcα1- O-(Z)-Ser- OAll 3 in 68%. The introduction of two sialic acids into 3 was accomplished by a stepwise method. The branched Galβ-(1→3)-[NeuAcα-(2→6)]-GalNAcα1- O-(Z)-Ser- OAll 11 was constructed by a chemical method. Sialylation at the C-3 position of the terminal Gal residue on Galβ-(1→3)-[NeuAcα-(2→6)]-GalNAcα1- O-(Z)-Serine 2 using α2,3-(O)-sialyltransferase from rat liver gave a target compound 14 in a practical yield.     

Stereoselective synthesis of 3-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)-2-pyrrolidinones from α-alkylidenelactones and nitromethane

Enantiopure 3-(ω-hydroxyalkyl)-2-pyrrolidinones 7 and 9 were synthesised by Michael-addition of nitromethane to chiral α-alkylidenelactones 1 followed by reduction of the resulting 3-(β-nitroalkyl)-lactones and ring transformation of the intermediate 3-(β-aminoalkyl)-lactones. In an analogous manner the naturally occurring costuslactone 10 was transformed into the butyrolactam 12.     

Studies on Acylthiosemicarbazides and Related Heterocycles(ⅪⅤ)——Synthesis and Bactericidal Activity of 1-(5-(3-Pyridyl)-2H-Tetrazol-2-ylacetyl) -4-Arylthiosemicarbazides and 3- (5- (3-Pyridyl)-2H-Tetrazol-2-ylmethyl)-4-Aryl-1,2 ,4-Triazole-5-Thiones

Introduction In the preceding paper it was described that various 1-acyl-4-substituted thiosemicarbazides and their derivatives exhibited a broad spectrum of antibacterial activities. Kothari pointed out that some heterocycles linked with tetrazole and 1,2,4-triazole can be used as antiinflammatory agent. We have also demonstrated that both 3-(5-a- naphthyl)-2H-tetrazol-2-ylmethyl)-4-aryl-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiones and 3-(3-pyridyl)-     

Synthesis of 2-(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-alkenyl)-1-pyrrolines and 2-(3-hydroxybutyl)-1-pyrroline using α-lithiated 2-methyl-1-pyrroline

Condensation of 2-methyl-1-pyrroline with chloroacetone or 3-chloro-2-butanone using LDA in THF afforded novel 2-(3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-alkenyl)-1-pyrrolines via a peculiar reaction mechanism instead of the anticipated 2-(3-oxobutyl)-1-pyrrolines. The intermediacy of 2-(2,3-epoxy-2-methylalkyl)-1-pyrrolines in the latter transformation was demonstrated by immediate reductive epoxide ring opening utilizing lithium aluminium hydride in diethyl ether. Furthermore, 2-(3-oxobutyl)-1-pyrroline was prepared via an alternative approach through alkylation of 2-methyl-1-pyrroline with 3-chloro-2-(methoxymethyloxy)-1-propene using LDA in THF, followed by acid hydrolysis. Reduction of 2-(3-oxobutyl)-1-pyrroline by sodium borohydride in methanol afforded the corresponding 2-(3-hydroxybutyl)-1-pyrroline in good yield.
