Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance study of ion-molecule reactions of [M – OCH3]+ ions of methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-d-hexopyranosides with ammonia

Glycosidic oxocarbenium ions A₁⁺ were formed by isobutane chemical ionization from methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-β-D -mannopyranoside, methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-0-methyl-β-D -galactopyranoside and methyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-β-D -glucopyranoside (the ring - O-being converted into ? O ? ), and then- reaction with ammonia was studied by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance Spectrometry. Very slow formation (reaction efficiency 0.6-1.4%) of the adduct ion [A₁ + NH₃]⁴ was observed as the main process for carefully thermalized ions A₁⁺. Interestingly, the efficiency of the adduct ion formation depends on the sterochemistry of ions A₁⁺.     

Chemical-Enzymatic Synthesis of A Branched Hexasaccharide Fragment of Type Ia Group B Streptococcus Capsular Polysaccharide

ABSTRACT

A branched hexasaccharide fragment of type Ia group B streptococcal polysaccharide, α-NeuAc(2→3)-β-D-Gal(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc(1→3)-[β-D-Glc(1→4)]-β-D-Gal(1→4)-β-D-Glc-OMe (13), has been synthesized by chemical-enzymatic procedures. Chemical synthesis of a pentasaccharide, β-D-Gal(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc(1→3)-[β-D-Glc(1→4)]-β-D-Gal(1→4)-β-D-Glc-OMe (12), was achieved from glycosyl donor, 4-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-3,6-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (9), and acceptor, methyl O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→4)-O-(2,6-di-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (6), by block condensation in 41% yield. Following enzymatic sialylation of 12 at the 3-O-position of its terminal galactopyranosyl residue using recombinant α-(2→3)-sialyltransferase and CMP-NeuAc afforded 13 in 59% yield.     

First synthesis of 5,6-branched galacto-hexasaccharide,the dimer of the trisaccharide repeating unit of the cell-wall galactans of Bifidobacterium catenulatum YIT 4016

α-d-Galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-[β-d-galactofuranosyl-(1→5)]-β-d-galactofuranosyl-(1→6)-β-d-galactofuranosyl-(1→5)-[α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-d-galactofuranose, the dimer of the trisaccharide repeating unit of the cell-wall galactans of Bifidobacterium catenulatum YIT 4016, has been synthesized as its dodecyl glycoside 2 by coupling of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-[6-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-d-galactofuranosyl-(1→5)]-2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-β-d-galactofuranosyl trichloroacetimidate 14 with dodecyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→6)-[2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-d-galactofuranosyl-(1→5)]-2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-β-d-galactofuranoside 16. The trisaccharide trichloroacetimidate donor 14 and trisaccharide acceptor 16 were regiospecifically prepared by employing 3-O-benzyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-d-galactofuranose 4 as the glycosyl acceptor, and isopropyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-thio-β-d-galactopyranoside 5 and 6-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-d-galactofuranosyl trichloroacetimidate 9 as glycosyl donors.     

Anatoliosides: Five Novel Acyclic Monoterpene Glylcosides from Viburnum orientale

Five new acyclic monoterpene glycosides 1 – 5 were isolated from the leaves of Viburnum orientale (Caprifoliaceae). Anatolioside ( 1 ) is a monoterpene diglycoside and its structure was elucidated as linalo-6-yl 2′-O-(α-L -rhamnopyranosyl)β-D -glucopyranoside (arbitrary numbering of linalool moiety). Compounds 2 – 5 are all derivatives of 1 , containing additional monoterpene and sugar units, connected by ester and glycoside bonds. Their structures were established as linalo-6-yl O-[(2E,6R)-6-hydroxy-2, 6-dimethylocta-2,7-dienoyl]-(1? → 4″)-O-α-L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1″? → 2″″)-β-D -glucopyranoside ( = anatolioside A; 2 ), linalo-6-yl O-β-D -glucopyranosyl-(1? → 6?)-O-[(2E,6R)-6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylocta-2,7-dienoyl]-(1? → 4″)-O-α-L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1″ → 2′)–β-D -glucopyranoside ( = anatolioside B; 3 ), linalo-6-yl O-β-D ribo-hexopyranos-3-ulosyl-(1′? → 6?)-O-[(2E,6R)-6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylocta-2,7-dienoyl]-(1? → 4″)-O-α-L -rhamnopyranosyl-(1″ → 2′)-β-D -glucopyranoside ( = anatolioside C; 4 ) and linalo-6-yl O-[(2E, 6R)-6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylocta-2,7-dienoyl]-(1″? → 2″″)-O-β-D -glucopyranosly-(1″″ → 6?)-O-[(2E,6R)-6-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylocta-2,7-dienoyl]-(1? → 4″)-O-α-L -rhamnopyranosyl(1″ → 2′)-β-D -glucopyranoside ( = anatolioside D ; 5 ). The structure determinations were based on spectroscopic and chemical methods (acid and alkaline hydrolysis, acetylation and methylation).     

SYNTHESIS OF (2,3,4,6-TETRA-O-ACETYL-α-D-GLYCOPYRANOSYL) THIOPHENE DERIVATIVES AS NEW C-NUCLEOSIDE ANALOGUES[1]

Treatment of 2-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)ethanal (1a) and 2-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl)ethanal (1b) respectively with malononitrile in the presence of silica gel provided the corresponding 4-[2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glycopyranosyl]-2-cyanocrotononitriles (2a) and (2b). Starting from 2a and 2b, respectively, cyclizations with sulfur and triethylamine yielded 5-[2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glycopyranosyl]-2-aminothiophene-3-carbonitriles (3a) and (3b). Further cyclizations could be achieved by utilizing of triethyl orthoformate/ammonia to furnish the 6-(α-D-glycopyranosyl)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-4-amines 4a and 4b.     

Neighboring Group Participation in Glycosylation Reactions by 2,6-Disubstituted 2-O-Benzoyl groups: A Mechanistic Investigation

Variable yields and glycosylation stereoselectivity were obtained for NIS/TfOH-medi- ated reaction of 4-methoxyphenyl 2,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranoside and thiogalactosides bearing acetyl, benzoyl, 2,6-dimethoxylbenzoyl, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl, or 2,6-dichlorobenzoyl groups at the 2-positions and acetyl at the remainder. X-ray structures of 4-methylphenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-1-thio-β-D-galactopyr anoside and 4-methylphenyl 3,4-O-isopropylidene-2,6-di-O-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside revealed slightly distorted ⁴ C ₁ chair conformations. Variable temperature NMR revealed that activation of 4-methylphenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside afforded only dioxolenium ion, whereas 4-methylphenyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside gave a 1:1 mixture of dioxolenium ion and glycosyl triflate. However, the reaction intermediates formed from these deactivated donors do not influence the glycosylation stereoselectivity; instead, it is influenced by steric and electronic interactions at the transition states.     

Synthesis of the Immunodominant Trisaccharide Related to the Antigen From E. COLI O 126

The trisaccharide derivative methyl 2-O-[4,6-di-O-acetyl-3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-gal-actopyranosyl)-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-gluco-pyranosyl]-4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D-mannopyranoside (12) was obtained when 3-O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl)-4,6-di-Oacetyl-2-deoxy-2-phtha-limido-β-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (8) was allowed to react with methyl 3-O-benzyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-β-D-mannopyranoside (11) in presence of trimethylsilyl triflate. Removal of protecting groups then gave the desired trisaccharide.     

Efficient stereocontrolled synthesis of C-glycosides using glycosyl donors substituted by propane 1,3-diyl phosphate as the leaving group

α- and β-Glycosyl cyanides, per-O-acetyl-1,2-O-1-cyanoethylidenes and C-allyl glycopyranosides were efficiently prepared by treatment of 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-α,β-l-rhamno-, l-fuco- and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α,β-d-galactopyranosyl propane-1,3-diyl phosphates with trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) and allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate (TMSOTf). Similarly 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α,β-d-manno- and d-glucopyranosyl propane-1,3-diyl phosphates were employed in the synthesis of C-glycosides.     

SYNTHESIS OF CHLORAMPHENICOL AND MANDELONITRILE GALACTOSE-CONTAINING PRODRUGS

The synthesis of O ¹-β-d-galactopyranosylchloramphenicol and O ¹-β-d-galactopyranosylmandelonitrile as prodrugs potentially substrates of β-galactosidase, are reported. Preparation of O ¹-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl) chloramphenicol from unprotected chloramphenicol was successful using β-d-galactopyranose pentaacetate and boron trifluoride diethyl etherate in acetonitrile. However, the β-galactosylated diastereoisomers of racemic mandelonitrile had to be made via O ¹-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl)mandelamide in dichloromethane prior to dehydration to obtain the nitrile moiety. Indeed, galactosylation trials starting directly from mandelonitrile in acetonitrile led to the O ¹-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl)mandelonitrile diastereoisomers. From a methodological point of view, this work extends the use of the galactosylation method to new hydroxyl bearing compounds. It also points out that the solvent used (acetonitrile or dichloromethane) and the purity of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate can be crucial factors in the use of this method as an eventual alternative to heavy metal-based Lewis acids usually employed in glycosylation reactions.     

A Simple Route to β,β-Trehalose via Trichloroacetimidates

Abstract

The reaction of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranose with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate in CH₂Cl₂ promoted by BF₃;OEt₂ gives β,β-octaacetyltrehalose in up to 58% isolated yield, which is readily deacetylated to β,β-trehalose. The corresponding 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl penta-fluorophenylimidate is configurationally stable and inert to coupling under mild conditions.     

Enantioselective catalysis. Part 142: Carbohydrate-derived oxime ethers from functionalised aldehydes and O-β-d-glucopyranosylhydroxylamine—new CN ligands stable towards hydrolysis

A new way of linking carbohydrates to phosphorus- or nitrogen-containing aldehydes via oxime ethers is described resulting in novel CN ligands which are stable towards hydrolysis. Reaction of O-β-d-glucopyranosylhydroxylamine 2 with 2-diphenylphosphanylbenzaldehyde 3 or pyridine-2-carbaldehyde 4 afforded the oxime ethers O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-2-diphenylphosphanylbenzaldoxime 5 and O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)pyridine-2-carbaldoxime 6. After peracetylation of the hydroxyl groups in 5 and 6, the protected sugar derivatives O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)-2-diphenylphosphanylbenzaldoxime 7 and O-(2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl)pyridine-2-carbaldoxime 8 were obtained. The molecular structure of 7 was established by X-ray diffraction studies.     

Large Scale Synthesis of A Derivative of An α-Galactosyl Trisaccharide Epitope Involved in the Hyperacute Rejection of Xenotransplantation

ABSTRACT

A derivative of an α-galactosyl trisaccharide xenoactive antigen, (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→3)-(2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl azide (5), was synthesized on a large scale (50 gram). The synthesis involved a high yielding and highly stereoselective (α/β>20:1) glycosylation reaction utilizing a thiogalactoside as the donor and a selectively protected lactose azide as the acceptor. This derivative serves as a versatile intermediate that can be transformed into a variety of α-Gal containing glycoconjugates highly desired in xenotransplantation research and pharmaceutical development.

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was applied to the preparative isolation and purification of peonidin 3-O-(6-O-(E)-caffeoyl-2-O-β-D -glucopyranosyl-β-D -glucopyranoside)-5-O-β-D -glucoside ( 1 ), cyanidin 3-O-(6-O-p-coumaroyl)-β-D -glucopyranoside ( 2 ), peonidin 3-O-(2-O-(6-O-(E)-caffeoyl-β-D -glucopyranosyl)-6-O-(E)-caffeoyl-β-D -glucopyranoside)-5-O-β-D -glucopyranoside ( 3 ), peonidin 3-O-(2-O-(6-O-(E)-feruloyl-β-D -glucopyranosyl)-6-O-(E)-caffeoyl-β-D -glucopyranoside)-5-O-β-D -glucopyranoside ( 4 ) from purple sweet potato. Separation of crude extracts (200 mg) from the roots of purple sweet potato using methyl tert-butyl ether/n-butanol/acetonitrile/water/trifluoroacetic acid (1:4:1:5:0.01, v/v) as the two-phase solvent system yielded 1 (15 mg), 2 (7 mg), 3 (10 mg), and 4 (12 mg). The purities of 1 – 4 were 95.5%, 95.0%, 97.8%, and 96.3%, respectively, as determined by HPLC. Compound 2 was isolated from purple sweet potato for the first time. The chemical structures of these components were identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and ESI-MSⁿ.

Studies into the preparation of 1-deoxy-1-thiocyanato-d-glycopyranosyl cyanides and the anomeric effect of the thiocyanate group

The reaction of per-O-acetylated 1-bromo-1-deoxy-α-d-arabinopyranosyl cyanide with thiocyanate ions gave the corresponding 1-deoxy-1-thiocyanato-α- and β-d-arabinopyranosyl cyanides. In the reaction of the per-O-acetylated 1-bromo-1-deoxy-β-d-xylopyranosyl cyanide and its per-O-benzoylated β-d-glucopyranosyl analogue the corresponding 2-hydroxy-glycal esters formed in addition to the anomeric pair of thiocyanato-cyanides. The formation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-α-d-glucopyranosyl thiocyanate was demonstrated in the reaction of benzobromoglucose with thiocyanate ions. The equilibrium constant between 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-deoxy-1-thiocyanato-α- and β-d-galactopyranosyl cyanides was determined. Based on this value, the equilibrium ratio for the 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α- and β-d-galactopyranosyl thiocyanates was calculated to be 94:6, and the anomeric effect of the SCN group was estimated to exceed 3 kcal/mol. X-Ray crystallographic data support endo- and exo-anomeric effects of the SCN moiety.     

Organometallic derivatives of sugars

Stable organometallic derivatives of glucose were prepared either by treatment of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-1-thio-β-D-glucopyranose with organometallic hydroxides R₃ MOH and oxides R₂ MO or by the reaction between 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide with R₃SnSLi.     

Studies on carbohydrates. Part 33: Synthesis of spacer-armed 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-β-d-galactopyranosyl-α-d-mannosides and their dimers

Per- and poly-substituted oligosaccharide derivatives, with trehalose cores, have been prepared and assessed for their potential for use as excipients in controlled-release formulations. The synthesized compounds, generally with acyl and amido substituents, included 6,6′-N,N′ -diamido-6,6′ -dideoxy-α,α -trehalose derivatives, 6,6′ -bis(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β -D-glucopyranuronyl)-α, α -trehalose derivatives, 2,2′,3,3′ -tetra-O-acetyl-6,6′ -bis-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranuronyl)-4,4′ -di-O-acyl-α,α-trehalose, 2, 2′, 3, 3′ -tetra-O-acetyl-6-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranuronyl)-4,4′,6′ -tri-O-acyl-α,α-trehalose, and 2,2′,3,3′,4,4′ -hexa-O-acetyl-6,6′ -bis-(1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl-6-O-succinyl-β-D-glucopyranuronyl)-α,α-trehalose. Compounds were characterized by NMR, IR, MS and optical rotations; elemental analyses; or HRMS. The compounds formed amorphous materials either on fast quenching of melts or on spray drying. Properties, used in the initial assessment of the potential as controlled-release excipients, were log₁₀ P and glass transition, T_g, values.
