Stereospecific entry to [4.5]spiroketal glycosides using alkylidenecarbene C-H insertion.

[reaction: see text] A novel method for the stereospecific preparation of [4.5]spiroketal glycosides utilizing the 1,5 C-H bond insertion of alkylidenecarbenes is described. Treatment of 2-oxopropyl beta-pyranosides A with lithium (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane in THF at -78 degrees C afforded 1,6-dioxaspiro[4,5]decenes B in good yield. Submission of the corresponding alpha-glycosides C to the same reagent gave the isomeric insertion products D in moderate to high yield.

Preparation of alpha-C-glycosides from glycals.

[reaction: see text]. A novel approach to simple C-glycosides is reported. Reductive ring opening of 1,2-anhydro sugars with titanocene(III) chloride produces an anomeric radical that can be trapped with a variety of agents. The reaction stereospecifically affords alpha-glycosides and produces a free C-2 hydroxyl group allowing for further elaboration.

Umpolung strategy for the synthesis of 2-deoxy-C-aryl glycosides: a serendipitous, efficient route for C-furanoside analogues.

[reaction: see text] 2-Deoxy-C-aryl glycosides are potential synthetic targets as they form a very vital moiety of several biologically active natural products. This paper describes a synthetic route using an umpolung strategy, which has not been explored till date. Our synthetic endeavor led to a versatile intermediate aryl ketone 10, which has paved the way for two important classes of C-glycosides, viz., C-alkyl furanosides 12 and methyl 2-deoxy-C-aryl pyranosides 14.

Aldehydes↗

Galacto, gluco, manno, and disaccharide-based C-glycosides of 2-amino-2-deoxy sugars.

[reaction: see text] Starting from readily available precursors, selenoglycosides derived from GalNAc, GlcNAc, and ManNAc were prepared by either a one- or a two-step process. The anomeric selenides underwent facile C-Se homolysis to provide the corresponding anomeric radicals, which were trapped with alkenes to give C-glycosides. This provides a general entry to alpha-C-glycosides based on 2-amino-2-deoxy sugars that is also applicable to disaccharide variants.

Concerning the origin of the high beta-selectivity of glycosidation reactions of 2-deoxy-2-iodo-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidates.

[structure: see text] Studies on the glycosidation reactions of conformationally constrained glycosyl imidates 8a and 8b were performed to evaluate the possible involvement of "conformationally inverted" oxonium ion intermediates in glycosidation reactions with 2-deoxy-2-iodo-glucopyranosyl donors. The mechanistic implications of this study are discussed, and intermediates 23 and 24 are invoked to rationalize the observed beta-selectivities.

2-Deoxy-2-iodo-beta-glucopyranosyl fluorides: mild and highly stereoselective glycosyl donors for the synthesis of 2-deoxy-beta-glycosides from beta-hydroxy ketones.

2-Deoxy-2-iodo-beta-glucopyranosyl fluoride 14 is a highly stereoselective glucopyranosyl donor that may be activated under mild conditions. Application of this new glycosyl donor to the glycosidation reactions of a variety of acceptors including beta-hydroxy ketones affords beta-glycosides with high efficiency and stereoselectivity.

Steric effects are not the cause of the rate difference in hydrolysis of stereoisomeric glycosides.

[structure: see text] A long-lived and plausible explanation as to why glycosides with axial substituents are more reactive than those with equatorial substituents was given in 1955 by Edward based on sterical hindrance being relieved in the transition state. Using model compounds 5, 6, 8, and 10, we here show conclusively that sterical hindrance is not the controlling factor in glycoside hydrolysis.

Synthetic studies directed toward the assembly of the C-glycoside fragment of the telomerase inhibitor D8646-2-6.

[reaction: see text] Construction and characterization of the C-glycosidic moiety of telomerase inhibitor D8646-2-6 (1) are described. This is the first example of the C-glycosylation using electron-poor aromatics, 4-hydroxypyrone, as a glycosyl acceptor. The glycosylation reaction and base-promoted isomerization affords desired beta-C-glycoside in a 61% overall yield.

Hydrolysis of alpha- and beta-glycosides. New experimental data and modeling of reaction pathways.

[reaction: see text] The cyclization of oxocarbenium ion conformers 6alpha and 6beta (from 11E and 11Z) gave only the beta-glycoside 1beta, and the addition of methanol to the oxocarbenium ion 3 yielded mainly the alpha-glycoside 1alpha with both experiments being carried out under kinetically controlled conditions. RHF/6.31G calculations reproduce well these experimental results and show that the endocyclic and the exocyclic C-O bond cleavage processes can compete in the hydrolysis of 1beta, whereas 1alpha gets hydrolyzed by exocyclic C-O bond cleavage only.

An efficient synthesis of beta-C-glycosides based on the conformational restriction strategy: Lewis acid promoted silane reduction of the anomeric position with complete stereoselectivity.

[reaction: see text] The reduction of glyconolactols having an anomeric carbon substituent by Et(3)SiH/TMSOTf proceeded with complete stereoselectivity to produce the corresponding beta-C-glycosides when the substrates were conformationally restricted in the (4)C(1)-chair form by a 3,4-O-cyclic diketal or a 4,6-O-benzylidene protecting group. Thus, the efficient construction of beta-C-glycosides was achieved on the basis of the conformation restriction strategy.

2-nitro thioglycoside donors: versatile precursors of beta-D-glycosides of aminosugars.

2-Nitro thioglycosides can be prepared by the Michael addition of thiophenol to 2-nitroglycal derivatives. NIS/TMSOTf activation of these 2-nitro thioglycosides, in the presence of alcohols, rapidly and cleanly led to the desired glycosides in good yield and beta-selectivity. Reduction of the nitro group allowed generation of the corresponding 2-acetamido glycosides.

Revisiting the armed-disarmed concept rationale: s-benzoxazolyl glycosides in chemoselective oligosaccharide synthesis.

[reaction: see text]. It has been discovered that 2-O-benzyl-3,4,6-tri-O-acyl SBox glycosides are significantly less reactive than even "disarmed" peracylated derivatives. This finding has been applied to the synthesis of various oligosaccharides, the monomeric units of which are connected via cis-cis, trans-cis, and cis-trans sequential glycosidic linkages. Two-stage activation of the armed (benzylated) donor over moderately (dis)armed (acylated) and, subsequently, over disarmed (2-O-benzyl-3,4-O-diacylated) acceptor has also proven to be feasible.

Subtle stereochemical and electronic effects in iridium-catalyzed isomerization of C-allyl glycosides.

[reaction: see text] Stereoselective isomerization of C-allyl glycosides into (E)-C-vinyl glycosides or (Z)-exo-glycals was carried out in the presence of the cationic iridium(I) catalyst [(Ph(2)MeP)(2)Ir(cod)PF(6)]. The products of the isomerization were affected by the relative 1,2-stereochemical relationships and by the nature of the protecting groups. These effects are discussed along with a plausible reaction mechanism.

Cepaea hortensis agglutinin-I, specific for O-glycosidically linked sialic acids, selectively labels endothelial cells of distinct vascular beds.

The lectin Cepaea hortensis agglutinin-I (CHA-I) binds to O-glycosidically linked sialic acids with previously characterized specificity. Employing histochemistry, we demonstrate that CHA-I is a useful probe for detecting sialic acids in formalin-fixed human tissues in a specific manner. It stains the endothelium of arteries and veins in all tissues examined, and labels the capillaries in distinct vascular beds including the brain, colon, thyroid, pituitary, and adrenal. By contrast, the endothelial sinusoids in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow remained unstained. The staining pattern of CHA-I overlaps with the distribution of the sialomucin and L-selectin ligand podocalyxin, which includes positivity of podocytes and interstitial but not glomerular capillaries. CHA-I-positive epithelial structures were found in the lung, liver and kidney. Colon carcinoma cells were labelled with CHA-I but not haemangiosarcomas. In summary, CHA-I is a useful tool for detecting O-glycosidically linked sialic acids in formalin-fixed tissues, and a potentially powerful tool for the isolation and characterization of unknown sialomucins in normal and eventually in diseased tissues.

Cardiac glycosides inhibit detubulation in amphibian skeletal muscle fibres exposed to osmotic shock.

It has recently been suggested that the 'vacuolation' of the transverse tubular system that follows the imposition of an osmotic shock is a component process in the eventual 'detubulation' of amphibian skeletal muscle. However, such a hypothesis requires net fluid transfers from the intracellular space into the lumina of the transverse tubules against the prevailing transmembrane osmotic gradients. The present experiments tested the effects of cardiac glycosides on the consequences of established osmotic protocols known reliably to achieve high levels of both detubulation and vacuolation in Rana temporaria sartorius muscle. Tubular isolation (detubulation) was assessed through electrophysiological observations of the abolition or otherwise of the after-depolarisation components of muscle action potentials. Vacuolation was assessed by stereological estimation of the volume fraction of muscle that was occupied by fluorescence-labelled vacuoles observed using confocal microscopy. Introduction of ouabain in the osmotic shock solutions sharply reduced such measures of vacuolation from 48.5 +/- 3.6% (mean +/- SEM; n = 70) to 12.1 +/- 2.7% (n = 190) of the total fibre volume. This was accompanied by sharp reductions in the incidence of detubulation (detubulation index reduced from 96.3 +/- 2.6% to 0.0 +/- 0.0%). The presence of ouabain was critical at the osmotic shock stage in the procedures at which the hypertonic glycerol-containing solutions were replaced by isotonic Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-Ringer solutions. Finally, the alternative cardiac glycosides, strophanthidine and digoxin, exerted similar effects. These findings support a scheme in which the osmotic shock initiates a metabolically dependent fluid expulsion. This distends the transverse tubules into vacuoles that in turn lead to fibre detubulation.

Convergent synthesis of neoglycopeptides by coupling of 2-bromoethyl glycosides to cysteine and homocysteine residues in T cell stimulating peptides.

The 2-bromoethyl beta-glycosides of the disaccharide galabiose [Gal(alpha1-4)Gal] and the trisaccharides globotriose [Gal(alpha1-4)Gal(beta1-4)Glc] and 3'-sialyllactose [Neu5Ac(alpha2-3)Gal(beta1-4)Glc] have been prepared by improved routes. The 2-bromoethyl glycosides were then used in cesium carbonate promoted alkylations of the sulfhydryl groups of cysteine and homocysteine residues in T cell stimulating peptides. This convergent and general approach was used to prepare 16 neoglycopeptides which were obtained in 52-95% yields after purification by HPLC. 1H NMR spectroscopy revealed that beta-elimination and epimerization of neoglycopeptide stereocentres did not occur during the synthesis.

Intact Golgi synthesize complex branched O-linked chains on glycoside primers: evidence for the functional continuity of seven glycosyltransferases and three sugar nucleotide transporters.

We examined the functional co-localization and continuity of glycosyltransferases and sugar nucleotide transporters in the Golgi of two Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines that synthesize different types of O-linked oligosaccharides. CHO cells normally synthesize primarily Sia2,3Galbeta1,3GalNAc- on glycoproteins. CHO cells transfected with core-2 GlcNAc transferase (Core 2) can synthesize glycoproteins containing branched O-linked oligosaccharides with poly-N-acetyllactosamines. CHO lines incubated with [(3)H]galactose and GalNAc-alpha-phenyl (GAP) as a primer, synthesize labeled glycoside products that faithfully resemble those found on the endogenous acceptors: CHO cells make Sia2,3[(3)H]Gal(beta)1,3GAP, while CHO Core2 cells synthesize GAPs with complex branched chains including poly-N-acetyllactosamines. To determine if isolated Golgi preparations make similar products, we prepared Golgi by established homogenization methods, documented their intactness, and added tracer UDP-[(3)H]Gal, unlabeled sugar nucleotides, and GAP. CHO Golgi preparations synthesized only Sia2,3[(3)H]Gal(beta)1,3GAP. CHO Core2, also made this product and a small amount of Core-2 GlcNAc transferase-dependent products. No endogenous glycoproteins were labeled. However, when either cell line was gently permeabilized with streptolysin-O or given hypo-osmotic shock, both GAP and endogenous acceptors were efficiently glycosylated within an intact functional Golgi lumen and remained there. Significantly, Golgi from CHO Core2 cells made mostly branched GAP products including some with poly-N-acetyllactosamines as complex as those made and secreted by living cells incubated with GAP. These results suggest that the lumen of the Golgi apparatus is functionally continuous or interconnected. Once glycosides diffuse into the Golgi lumen, they have access to all the sugar nucleotide transporters and glycosyltransferases used for complex GAP-based products without requiring metabolic energy or inter-vesicular transport. Glycosylation of artificial acceptors could be used to track the functional continuity or co-localization of multiple glycosyltransferases and transporters under conditions where Golgi morphology disintegrates and/or reappears.
