Glycosylated trehalose. Synthesis of the oligosaccharides of the glycolipid-type antigens from Mycobacterium smegmatis.

The oligosaccharide components, 3-O-Me-beta-D-Glcp-(1----3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1----4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1----6)- alpha-D-Glcp-(1----1)-alpha-D-Glcp (1) and beta-D-Glcp-(1----4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1----6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1----1)-alpha-D- Glcp, of the glycolipid-type antigens isolated from M. smegmatis have been synthesised from 2,3,4,2',3',4',6'-hepta-O-acetyl-alpha,alpha-trehalose and the appropriate glycosyl bromides under Helferich conditions with Hg(CN)2 as the promoter. Condensation of the trisaccharide glycosyl bromide 27 gave an orthoester derivative (28) which could be rearranged, using HgBr2 or boron trifluoride etherate, into the acetylated derivative (29) of 1. The model compound beta-D-Glcp-(1----6)-alpha-D-Glcp-(1----1)-alpha-D-Glcp has also been synthesised.

A synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid and [6-2H]-N-acetylneuraminic acid from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.

N-Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) and [6-2H]-Neu5Ac were prepared from 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose (N-acetyl-D-glucosamine). Then Henry reaction of a 1-deoxy-1-nitro derivative of GlcNAc (protected 1-C-nitroanhydro-D-glucitol) with cyclohexylidene-D-glyceraldehyde, followed by successive acetylation and reductive denitration with Bu3SnH, gave an anhydrononitol intermediate (6) diastereo-selectively in high yields. Debenzylidenation of 6 freed its distal primary carbinol group, which was subjected to catalytic oxidation followed by hydrolysis, esterification (diazomethane), and acetylation to give a protected methyl nononate. This ester was transformed into the known methyl N-acetyl-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-2,3-dehydroneuraminate (15), which was identical with a sample prepared from Neu5Ac. Neu5Ac was obtained from 15 by bromoetherification (NBS, methanol) followed by reductive debromination with Bu3SnH and hydrolysis. Similarly, the [6-2H]-derivative of 15 was transformed into [6-2H]-Neu5Ac.

Fluorinated carbohydrates as potential plasma membrane modifiers and inhibitors. Synthesis of 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose.

Reaction of benzyl 2-acetamido-3,4-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-6-O-mesyl-alpha-D-galactopyran oside with cesium floride gave benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactopyranoside instead of the desired 6-fluoro derivative. Acetonation of benzyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-6-O-mesyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside gave the corresponding 3,4-O-isopropylidene derivative. The 6-O-mesyl group was displaced by fluorine with cesium fluoride in boiling 1,2-ethanediol, and hydrolysis and subsequent N-acetylation gave the target compound. In another procedure, treatment of 2-acetamido-1,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-galactose with N-(diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride gave 2-acetamido-1,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-2,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose which, on acid hydrolysis followed by N-acetylation, gave 2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-6-fluoro-D-galactose.

Synthesis of the optically active 4-O-phosphono-D-glucosamine derivatives related to the nonreducing-sugar subunit of bacterial lipid A.

The optically active lipid A-subunit homologs named GLA-46, GLA-47, GLA-59, and GLA-60 have been synthesized stepwise by successive acylation at N-2 and O-3 of benzyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-glucopyranoside with the 3-9O-(benzyloxy)methyl or 39O-tetradecanoyl derivative of optically active 3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid, and phosphorylation at O-4 of the D-glucosamine residue.

A convenient synthetic route to the disaccharide repeating-unit of peptidoglycan.

Glycosylation of the readily accessible benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-3-O-[(R)-1-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-alpha- D- glucopyranoside with 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (2), using the silver triflate method in the absence of a base, afforded 65-70% of the fully protected [beta-D-GlcNPhth-(1----4)-MurNAc] methyl ester derivative 4, the structure of which was ascertained on the basis of 500-MHz 1H-n.m.r. data. 2,2'-Dideoxy-2,2'-diphthalimido-beta,beta-trehalose hexa-acetate was a by-product. Removal of the Phth group from 4, followed by acetylation, yielded 90% of the acetylated 1,6-di-O-benzyl derivative 5, which, on saponification and catalytic hydrogenation, afforded 2-acetamido-4-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-[(R)-1- carboxyethyl]-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose. Similarly, 5 was converted into the acetylated methyl ester derivative, which, on selective removal of the methyl ester group, gave benzyl 2-acetamido-4-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D- glucopyranosyl)-6-O-benzyl-3-O-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-2-deoxy-alpha-D- glucopyranoside. An alternative route for the preparation of 2 is described.

Synthesis and n.m.r. spectra of methyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro- and 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosides.

Methyl 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosides and alpha- and beta-D-glucofuranosides were prepared by methanolysis of 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-glucofuranose. Crystalline 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl chloride (2) and the corresponding glycosyl bromide (3) were prepared from 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-glucopyranose (1). Reaction of 2 with methanol under the conditions of both silver triflate- and silver perchlorate-catalyzed glycosylation showed remarkable lack of stereoselectivity for the formation of the corresponding methyl alpha-glycoside, despite the presence at C-2 of the fluorine functionality presumably not capable of neighboring-group participation. Pure methyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-alpha- and beta-D-glucopyranosides were obtained by fractional crystallization from the mixture formed by methanolysis of 1. The structure of these substances as well as of several other derivatives of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro- and 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-D-glucose were verified by n.m.r. (1H, 13C, and 19F) spectroscopy.

Synthesis of antitumor-active 7-O-(2,6-dideoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-L-talopyranosyl)-daunomycinone and -adriamycinone.

The title compounds (17 and 23) were prepared by coupling 3,4-di-O-acetyl-2,6-dideoxy-2-fluoro-alpha-L-talopyranosyl bromide (15) with daunomycinone. The key step in the preparation of 15 was the epoxide-ring opening of methyl 2,3-anhydro-4-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-alpha-L-gulopyranoside with KHF2 in ethylene glycol, whereupon 2-fluoro-alpha-L-idopyranoside was obtained. Compounds 17 and 23 showed strong antitumor activity.

Synthesis of the tetrasaccharide lipid intermediate P1-dolichyl P2-[O-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1----6)-O-beta-D-mannopyranosyl-(1----4) -O-(2- acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-2-acetamido-2- deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl] diphosphate.

O-alpha-D-Mannopyranosyl-(1----6)-O-beta-D-mannopyranosyl-(1----4)-O-(2- acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy- D-glucopyranose was isolated from bovine or ovine mannosidosis urine. After peracetylation, treatment with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate gave a high yield of a peracetyl oxazoline, which was phosphorylated with dibenzyl phosphate to give a dibenzyl glycosyl phosphate that was converted into a peracetyl tetrasaccharide phosphate by catalytic hydrogenolysis. A coupling reaction with P1-dolichyl P2-diphenyl diphosphate, prepared in two stages from pig-liver dolichol, yielded a peracetyl diphosphoric diester, which on O-deacetylation gave P1-dolichyl P2-[O-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1----6)-O-beta-D-mannopyranosyl-(1----4)-O -(2- acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1----4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy- alpha-D- glucopyranosyl] diphosphate. This tetrasaccharide lipid intermediate was active as an acceptor of D-mannose residues from GDP-D-mannose in the presence of calf pancreas microsomes.

A simple strategy for changing the regioselectivity of glycosidase-catalysed formation of disaccharides.

The regioselectivity of glycosidase-catalysed formation of disaccharides can be changed by using alpha- or beta-glycosyl acceptors with various aglycons. The preponderant formation of other than (1----6) linkages can be effected with glycosidases which normally give (1----6) linkages. Thus, an alpha-D-galactosidase can be induced to catalyse the formation mainly of alpha-(1----2)-, alpha-(1----3), or alpha-(1----6)-linked digalactosides. Both the structure of the aglycon and the configuration of the glycosidic linkage can have a pronounced influence on the regioselectivity of disaccharide formation. Enzymic syntheses, in yields of 20-30%, are described of alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-Galp-OMe, beta-D-Galp-(1----3)-beta-D-Galp-OMe, beta-D-Galp-(1----6)-alpha-D-Galp-OMe, alpha-D-Manp-(1----2)-alpha-D-Manp-OMe, alpha-D-Manp-(1----6)-alpha-D-Manp-OMe, alpha-D-Galp-(1----2)-alpha-D-Galp-OPhNO2-o, alpha-D-Galp-(1----3)-alpha-D-Galp-OPhNO2-p, alpha-D-Manp-(1----2)-alpha-D-Manp-OPhNO2-p, and alpha-D-Manp-(1----2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1----2)-alpha-D-Manp+ ++-OMe. Soluble and immobilised enzymes have been used.

Synthesis of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-methyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)- D-glucopyranose (N-acetyl-2'-O-methyllactosamine).

1,3,4,6-Tetra-O-acetyl-2-O-methyl-D-galactopyranose, prepared from known methyl 6-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-galactopyranoside, was treated with hydrogen bromide in dichloromethane to afford 3,4,6-tri-O-acetl-2-O-methyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide. Condensation with benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside in acetonitrile in the presence of mercuric cyanide gave an approximately 1:1 mixture of benzyl 2-acetamido-3, 6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-methyl-beta- (8) and -alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside. O-Deacetylation and catalytic hydrogenolysis of the benzyl group furnished 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-methyl-beta- and alpha-D-galactopyranosyl)-D-glucopyranose. Alternatively, benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-beta-D- galactopyranosyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside was treated with tert-butyldiphenyl-chlorosilane in N,N-dimethylformamide, in the presence of imidazole, to give a 6'-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl intermediate that was in turn converted into its 3',4'-O-isopropylidene acetal. Methylation with methyl iodide-silver oxide in N,N-dimethylformamide, followed by removal of the silyl and isopropylidene groups gave benzyl 2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-methyl-beta-D- galactopyranosyl)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside, which was further characterized as its triacetate 8.
