Abstract: | Abstract KDN-Lex ganglioside analogs (10, 13, 16 and 19) containing the modified reducing terminal and L-rhamnose in place of L-fucose have been synthesized. Glycosidation of methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-1-thio-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (1) with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(2-acetamido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→3)-O-(2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-α-D-galacopyranoside (2), followed by reductive ring opening of the benzylidene acetal, gave 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl O-(2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-(1→3)-O-(2-acet-amido-6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→3)-O-(2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (4). The tetrasaccharide 4 was coupled with methyl O-(methyl 4,5,7,8,9-penta-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate)-(2→3)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside(5), using dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (DMTST), to give the hexasaccharide 6, which was converted into compound 11 in the usual manner. Compounds 8 and 11 were transformed, via bromination of the reducing terminal, radical reduction, O-deacylation and saponification of the methyl ester, into the desired KDN-Lex hexasaccharides (10, 13). On the other hand, glycosylation of 2-(tetradecyl)hexadecanol with α-trichloroacetimidates 14 and 17, afforded the target ganglioside analogs 16 and 19. |
