An antimetastatic tetrasaccharide T₁,β-D-Gal-（1→4）-β-D-GlcpNAc-（1→6）-α-D-Manp-（1→6）-β-D-Manp-OMe,was synthesized with two approaches.The first approach was a conventional method employing thioglycoside and Koenigs-Knorr glycosylation reaction in 24%overall yield.The second one was a novel route through the azidoiodo-glycosylation strategy by using 2-iodo-2-deoxylactosyl azide as the donor in 36%overall yield.

α-D-Glycosyl-Substituted α,α-D-Trehaloses with (1 → 4)-Linkage: Syntheses and NMR Investigations

Two symmetrical trehalose glycosyl ‘acceptors’ 4 and 6 were prepared and three of the unsymmetrical type, 8 , 10 , and 11 . Glucosylation of symmetrical ‘acceptor’ 4 gave a higher yield of trisaccharide (44%) than protect ve-group manipulation, namely via selective debenzylidenation 2 → 9 or monoacetylation 2 → 5 which proceeded in moderate yields (33–34%). A comparison of catalysts in the cis-glucosylation of trehalose ‘acceptor’ 10 with tetra-O-benzyl-β-D -glucopyranosyl fluoride 13 profiled triflic anhydride ((Tf)₂O) as a new reactive promoter yielding 92% of trisaccharide 14 , deblocking gave the target saccharide α-D -glucopyranosyI-( 1 → 4 )-α,α-D -trehalose. ¹H-NMR spectra of most compounds were analyzed extensively. The use of the ID TOCSY technique is advocated for its time efficiency, if needed supplemented by ROESY experiments.     

First Total Synthesis of Trehalose‐Containing Branched Oligosaccharide OSE‐1 of Mycobacterium gordonae (Strain 990)

The first total synthesis of the branched oligosaccharide OSE‐1 of Mycobacterium gordonae (strain 990) is reported. An intramolecular aglycon delivery approach was used for constructing the desymmetrized 1,1′‐α,α‐linked trehalose moiety. A [3+2] glycosylation of the trisaccharide donor and trehalose acceptor furnished the right hand side pentasaccharide. Regioselective O3 glycosylation of L ‐rhamnosyl 2,3‐diol allowed expedient synthesis of the left hand side tetrasaccharide. The nonasaccharide was assembled in a highly convergent fashion through a [4+5] glycosylation.     

Oligosaccharides Related to Tumor-Associated Antigens. Part I. Synthesis of the propyl glycoside of the trisaccharide α-L-Fucp-(1 → 2)-β-D-Galp-(1 → 3)-β-D-GalpNAc,component of a tumor antigen recognized by the antibody MBr1

The synthesis of the trisaccharide α-L -Fucp-(1 → 2)-β-D -Galp-(1 → 3)-β-D -GalpNAc-1-OPr ( 2 ) is described. The N-acetylgalactosamine 6 was obtained from 4 by an intramolecular displacement of a (trifluoromethyl)sulfonyloxy by a pivaloyloxy group with its concomitant migration from position 3 to position 4 (Scheme 1). The galactosyl donor 9 was obtained from 7 via 8 by regioselective opening of the orthoester function with AcOH/pyridine followed by treatment with CCl₃CN and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (Scheme 2). Glycosylation of 6 with 9 in the presence of BF₃ · OEt₂ gave the disaccharide 10 . Selective deprotection of 10 at O? C(2′) followed by glycosylation with 12 and by standard deprotection afforded the title trisaccharide 2 (Scheme 3). Preliminary biological testing showed that 2 is able to inhibit the binding of the monoclonal antibody MBrl to the target tumor cells MCF7 in a dose-dependent manner.

Isolation and Structure Elucidation of Neapolitanose (O-β-D -Glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[β-D -glucopyranosyl-(1→6)]-D -glucose), New Trisaccharide from the Stigmas of Garden Crocusses (Crocus neapolitanus var.) From the stigmas of Crocus neapolitanus var. ‘Blue Bird’ two new crocetin glycosyl esters were isolated. They contained a hitherto unknown trisaccharide. For the structure elucidation a homonuclear 2D-¹H-NMR-shift-correlation experiment was carried out with the peracetate of the isolated trisaccharide. This experiment revealed that the carbohydrate is O-β-D -glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O-[β-D -glucopyranosyl-(1→6))]-D -glucose, for which we suggest the name ‘neapolitanose’. The two new C₂₀-carotenoids from Crocus neapolitanus are crocetin (β-gentiobiosyl) (β-neapolitanosyl) ester ( 4 ) and crocetin di(β-neapolitanosyl) ester ( 5 ).

Heteroaryl‐substitued hydrazones 13‐16 afforded by oxidation with bromine or lead tetraacetate the corresponding substituted (1,2,4‐triazolo[4,3‐b]pyridazin‐3‐yl)glycinates 27‐30 . Alkyl 2‐(2,2‐disubstituted‐1‐ethenyl)amino‐3‐dimethylaminopropenoates 31‐33 gave with hydrazines alkyl 2‐[2,2‐(disubstituted)ethenyl]amino‐3‐heteroarylhydrazonopropanoates 40‐48 and 2‐alkyl 2,3‐bis((hetero)arylhydrazono)propanoates 51‐55 .

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₆N₄O₂, are linked by one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.47 Å, N⋯O = 3.326 (2) Å and N—H⋯O = 166°] and one N—H⋯N hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.19 Å, N⋯N = 3.063 (2) Å and N—H⋯N = 173°] into sheets containing alternating (20) and (32) rings, both types of which are centrosymmetric.     

Synthesis,crystal structure studies and solvatochromic behaviour of two 2‐{5‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]penta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ylidene}malononitrile derivatives

The synthesis, crystal structure studies and solvatochromic behavior of 2‐{(2E,4E)‐5‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]penta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ylidene}malononitrile, C₁₆H₁₅N₃ (DCV[3]), and 2‐{(2E,4E,6E)‐7‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]hepta‐2,4,6‐trien‐1‐ylidene}malononitrile, C₁₈H₁₇N₃ (DCV[4]), are reported and discussed in comparison with their homologs having a shorter length of the π‐conjugated bridge. The compounds of this series have potential use as nonlinear materials with second‐order effects due to their donor–acceptor structures. However, DCV[3] and DCV[4] crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c which excludes their application as nonlinear optical materials in the crystalline state. They both crystallize with two independent molecules having the same molecular conformation in the asymmetric unit. The series DCV[1]–DCV[4] demonstrated reversed solvatochromic behavior in toluene, chloroform, and acetonitrile.

The synthesis of ethyl 6‐aryl‐4‐oxo‐4,6‐dihdro‐1(12)(13)H‐pyrimido[2′,1′:4,5][1,3,5]triazino[1,2‐a]‐benzimidazole‐3‐carboxylates ( 4a‐p ) was described via pyrimidine ring annulation to 4‐aryl‐3,4‐dihydro[1,3,5]triazino[1,2‐a]benzimidazole‐2‐amines ( 2a‐p ) which were obtained from 2‐guanidinobenzimidazole ( 1 ). Tautomerism in the prepared compounds was investigated using nmr spectroscopy. Compounds 2a‐p were found to be present in dimethyl sulfoxide solution predominantly as 3,4‐dihyhydro tautomeric form. Compounds 4a‐p existed in dynamic equilibrium of 1‐, 12‐ and 13H‐forms. It was found that methylation of 4a‐d led to 13‐methyl substituted derivatives 9a‐d exclusively.
