Stereoselective synthesis of glycosides and anomeric azides of glucosamine

The β-azide of O-acetyl protected N-acetyl glucosamine is efficiently accessible via a phasetransfer-catalyzed reaction of the corresponding glycosyl chloride with sodium azide. The azido group revealed to be a useful anomeric protection for modifications of the protecting group pattern of the glucosamine unit. Exchange of the O-acyl groups by 4-methoxybenzylidene and 4-methoxybenzyl (Mpm) protection delivered regioselectively blocked glucosaminyl azide derivatives. In contrast, the N-phthaloyl protected glucosaminyl azide was obtained quantitatively from the corresponding glycosyl fluoride via a boron trifluoride-promoted reaction with trimethylsilyl azide. N-Phthaloyl glucosaminyl fluorid…

Synthesis of ?-fucosyl glycosides and disaccharides using 4-methoxybenzyl (Mpm) protected fucosyl donors

The 4-methoxybenzyl (Mpm) group removable by selective oxidation was applied as a nonneighbouring-group-active protection of fucose hydroxy functions in the stereoselective synthesis of α-fucosides of acceptors containing double bonds sensitive to hydrogenation. With this aim, the synthesis of the α-fucosyl chloride (4) carrying the acidsensitive Mpm protection was elaborated.

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Glycopeptide Partial Structures of Virus Coat Glycoproteins

Synthesis of glycopeptides and neoglycoproteins containing the fucosylated linkage region of N-glycoproteins.

Abstract N-Glycoproteins fucosylated in the core region occur in tumor membranes and virus envelopes. Partial structures of such N-glycoproteins containing fucosylated chitobiosyl asparagine conjugates were synthesized using the allyloxycarbonyl (Aloc) and the tert-butyl ester protecting groups in the peptide portion. As the α-fucosidic bond of the conjugates revealed to be very sensitive to acids when carrying ether-type protecting groups, a method for exchanging the protecting groups of the fucose portion of saccharides was developed. Conjugates containing O-acetyl protected fucose proved to be stable against acids used in glycopeptide syntheses. These methods were applied in the synthesi…
