ChemInform Abstract: Oligosaccharide Synthesis via Electrophile-Induced Activation of Glycosyl-N-allylcarbamates.
Abstract Glycosyl-N-allyl carbamates, obtained by reaction of anomerically unprotected saccharides with allyl isocyanate, can be activated by an electrophile-induced cyclisation and reacted with glycosyl acceptors to form the corresponding oligosaccharides By this method the mucin core 2 trisaccharide2 has successfully been synthesized. Due to the mild glycosylation conditions even 1-O-acetyl protected glycosyl acceptors can be used. This was demonstrated in the synthesis of a 1,6-linked glucosyl trisaccharide whereby a reptitious glycosylation strategy could be applied. 1. Dedicated to the memory of Professor Akira Hasegawa.
Chemoselective Removal of Protecting Groups from O-Glycosyl Amino Acid and Peptide (Methoxyethoxy)ethyl Esters Using Lipases and Papain
The selective C-terminal deprotection of O-glycopeptide (methoxyethoxy)ethyl esters is achieved under mild conditions (pH 6.6, 37 degrees C) by enzymatic hydrolysis using papain or lipase M from Mucor javanicus to give building blocks useful for chain-extending glycopeptide synthesis. On the other hand, the selective removal of acetyl protecting groups from the saccharide portion of glycopeptides is accomplished by alternative enzymatic hydrolysis with lipase WG from wheat germ to furnish model substrates for enzymatic glycosyl transfer reactions in order to extend the carbohydrate side chain of these conjugates.
