Abstract

We have established an innovative protective approach that disrupts intermolecular interactions to enhance substrate reactivity. Specifically, diacetylimide protection of acetamide prevents the formation of hydrogen bonds, while the incorporation of tert-butyl groups on the aromatic protecting group disrupts π-stacking interactions, both of which culminate in heightened reactivity in glycosylations. We explored the synergistic implementation of these protective measures and applied them to the synthesis of 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis X.

Key words

protecting groups - intermolecular interactions - glycan synthesis - 6-sulfo sialyl Lewis X - sialic acid

17 Synthesis of 16: To a mixture of freeze-dried donor 11 (38.9 mg, 0.0315 mmol), acceptor 12 (30.0 mg, 0.0315 mmol), and freshly activated powder MS 4Å (70.0 mg) was added anhydrous Et₂O (0.32 mL) at r.t. To the donor and acceptor solution was then added TMSOTf (5.7 μL, 32.0 μmol) at –40 °C. After stirring for 1 h at –40 °C, the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ and the organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (toluene/EtOAc, 3:1 to EtOAc) to give 16 (54.4 mg, 86%) as a white powder. The stereoselectivity of the glycosylation was verified by the large coupling constant observed between Gal-H1 and Gal-H2 (J = 8.2 Hz). ¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 8.22 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H, aromatic), 8.02 (d, J = 8.3 Hz, 2 H, aromatic), 7.99 (d, J = 7.5 Hz, 2 H, aromatic), 7.82 (s, 1 H, aromatic), 7.79–7.73 (m, 3 H, aromatic), 7.56 (t, J = 7.5 Hz, 1 H, aromatic), 7.51–7.46 (m, 6 H, aromatic), 7.38–7.29 (m, 7 H, aromatic), 7.22–7.18 (m, 12 H, aromatic), 6.10 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1 H, -NH-Troc), 5.67–5.60 (m, 2 H, Sia-H8, -CH₂CH=CH₂), 5.49–5.36 (m, 4 H, Sia-H4, Fuc-H1, Gal-H2, Gal-H4), 5.11 (d, J = 8.2 Hz, 1 H, Gal-H1), 5.07 (d, J = 17.2 Hz, 1 H, -CH₂CH=CH₂), 5.02–4.99 (m, 2 H, Sia-H7, -CH₂CH=CH₂), 4.93–4.86 (m, 4 H, GlcN-H1, Gal-H3), 4.76–4.70 (m, 5 H), 4.58 (dd, J = 10.2, 2.4 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H6), 4.54 (d, J = 11.6 Hz, 1 H), 4.47 (q, J = 6.4 Hz, 1 H, Fuc-H5), 4.32–4.24 (m, 4 H, Gal-H6a, Gal-H6b), 4.19 (dd, J = 12.5, 2.3 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H9a), 4.12 (t, J = 9.2 Hz, 1 H, GlcN-H4), 4.07–4.03 (m, 4 H, GlcN-H3, Fuc-H2, Fuc-H3, Gal-H5), 4.00–3.90 (m, 4 H, Sia-H5, Sia-H9b, GlcN-H6b, CH₂CH=CH₂), 3.89–3.76 (m, 6 H, GlcN-H2, GlcN-H6a, CH₂CH=CH₂, OCOCH₃), 3.59–3.57 (m, 2 H, GlcN-H5, Fuc-H4), 2.49 (dd, J = 12.4, 5.0 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H3_eq), 2.29 (s, 3 H, Ac), 2.14 (s, 3 H, Ac), 2.13 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.96 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.86 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.59 (t, J = 12.4 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H3_aq), 1.44 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.31 (d, J = 6.4 Hz, 3 H, -CH₃), 1.22 (s, 9 H, t-BuBz). ¹³C{¹H} NMR (125 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 174.1, 173.6, 170.7, 170.5, 170.0, 169.8, 168.0, 166.2, 165.6, 164.9, 157.0, 154.2, 139.0, 138.2, 135.9, 133.6, 133.2, 133.04, 132.98, 132.85, 130.5, 130.0, 129.9, 129.8, 128.5, 128.3, 128.2, 128.12, 128.06, 127.9, 127.8, 127.6, 127.4, 127.2, 127.1, 127.0, 126.9, 126.0, 125.8, 125.6, 125.54, 125.51, 117.8, 100.1, 97.8, 96.9, 95.6, 95.5, 79.1, 78.8, 77.6, 74.9, 74.4, 73.5, 73.4, 72.9, 72.7, 72.1, 72.0, 71.4, 70.7, 69.2, 68.7, 68.5, 68.4, 67.2, 66.9, 66.8, 66.5, 62.1, 61.7, 56.1, 55.9, 53.1, 38.4, 35.0, 31.0, 28.0, 26.4, 21.4, 20.71, 20.66, 20.5, 17.0.

18 Synthesis of 17: To a solution of 16 (50.0 mg, 25.0 μmol) in anhydrous THF (0.80 mL) was added [Ir(cod)(PPh₂Me)₂]PF₆ (1.1 mg, 1.3 μmol) in anhydrous THF (0.45 mL) at r.t., which was activated by H₂. After the reaction mixture was stirred for 18 h at r.t., to the reaction mixture were added H₂O (0.63 mL) and I₂ (10.1 mg, 40.0 μmol) at r.t. After stirring for 50 min at r.t., the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous Na₂S₂O₃. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc and the organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was roughly purified by silica-gel column chromatography (toluene/EtOAc = 1:0 to 3:2) to give hemiacetal (45.6 mg, 93%) as a white powder. This α/β mixture was used for the next reaction without further purification. To a solution of the obtained hemiacetal (45.6 mg, 23.3 μmol) in anhydrous acetone (1.2 mL) were added N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl chloride (10.7 mg, 52.0 μmol) and K₂CO₃ (10.2 mg, 74.0 μmol) at r.t. After stirring the reaction mixture for 4 h at r.t., to the reaction mixture were added acetone (1.2 mL), N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl chloride (11.2 mg, 53.9 μmol), and K₂CO₃ (10.9 mg, 78.9 μmol) at r.t. After stirring the reaction mixture for 2 h at r.t., insoluble materials were filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (toluene/EtOAc = 1:0 to 3:2) to give the donor (39.7 mg, 82%) as a white powder. This α/β mixture was used for the next reaction without further purification. A mixture of freeze-dried obtained donor (35.6 mg, 16.3 μmol), 2-(benzyloxycarbonylamino)-1-ethanol (12.8 mg, 65.3 μmol), and freshly activated powder MS 4Å (48 mg) was dissolved in anhydrous CH₂Cl₂ (1.6 mL). To the donor and acceptor solution were added TMSOTf (3.0 μL, 16.0 μmol) at –78 °C. After stirring for 2 h at –78 °C, the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ and the organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (toluene/EtOAc = 1:0 to 2:1) to give 17 (34.8 mg, quant) as a white powder. ¹H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 8.21 (d, J = 7.2 Hz, 2 H, aromatic), 8.02 (d, J = 8.6 Hz, 2 H, aromatic), 7.95 (d, J = 7.3 Hz, 2 H, aromatic), 7.76–7.70 (m, 4 H, aromatic), 7.55–7.37 (m, 10 H, aromatic), 7.31–7.25 (m, 12 H, aromatic), 7.24–7.17 (m, 9 H, aromatic), 5.79 (d, J = 7.0 Hz, 1 H), 5.66–5.62 (m, 1 H, Sia-H8), 5.50–5.40 (m, 4 H, Sia-H4), 5.12 (s, 1 H), 5.05–5.01 (m, 4 H, Sia-H7), 4.97 (dd, J = 10.1, 3.7 Hz, 1 H), 4.75–4.71 (m, 4 H), 4.65–4.63 (m, 2 H), 4.61 (dd, J = 10.2, 2.5 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H6), 4.55–4.53 (m, 2 H), 4.46 (d, J = 11.8 Hz, 1 H), 4.33–4.24 (m, 5 H, Fuc-H4, Sia-H9a), 4.13–4.10 (m, 2 H, Fuc-H5), 4.06–3.93 (m, 5 H, Sia-H5, Sia-H9b), 3.87 (s, 3 H, OCOCH₃), 3.82–3.75 (m, 3 H), 3.59–3.54 (m, 2 H), 3.43 (d, J = 5.7 Hz, 1 H), 3.31 (d, J = 1.9 Hz, 1 H), 3.23–3.21 (m, 3 H), 2.51 (dd, J = 12.4, 5.4 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H3_eq), 2.29 (s, 3 H, Ac), 2.16 (s, 3 H, Ac), 2.15 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.96 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.86 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.60 (t, J = 12.4 Hz, 1 H, Sia-H3_aq), 1.47 (s, 3 H, Ac), 1.28 (s, 9 H, t-BuBz), 1.17 (d, J = 6.4 Hz, 3 H, -CH₃). ¹³C{¹H} NMR (125 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 174.1, 173.6, 170.7, 170.6, 170.0, 169.8, 168.0, 166.1, 165.6, 165.4, 157.1, 156.5, 154.1, 138.9, 138.8, 138.4, 136.7, 135.8, 133.3, 133.2, 133.0, 132.9, 130.2, 130.1, 129.9, 129.8, 129.7, 128.6, 128.5, 128.3, 128.24, 128.23, 128.19, 128.11, 128.04, 128.00, 127.9, 127.75, 127.70, 127.6, 127.4, 127.2, 127.1, 126.7, 126.1, 126.0, 125.8, 125.6, 125.5, 100.7, 100.0, 96.9, 95.5, 79.0, 78.3, 76.5, 75.1, 75.0, 74.4, 73.3, 73.0, 72.5, 71.52, 71.47, 69.3, 68.7, 68.4, 67.08, 66.98, 66.94, 66.6, 62.1, 62.0, 56.0, 53.1, 40.9, 38.3, 35.1, 31.1, 28.0, 26.5, 21.5, 20.68, 20.67, 20.5, 16.7.

19 Synthesis of 18: To a solution of 17 (31.0 mg, 14.5 μmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (0.58 mL) and MeOH (0.15 mL) was added DDQ (16.5 mg, 73.0 μmol) at r.t. After stirring for 3 h at r.t., the reaction was quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO₃. The aqueous layer was extracted with CH₂Cl₂ and the organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica-gel column chromatography (1st: toluene/EtOAc = 2:3, 2nd: toluene/EtOAc = 1:1) to give the crude product (16.3 mg) as an inseparable mixture. This crude mixture was used for the next reaction without further purification. To a solution of crude product (16.3 mg, 8.17 μmol) in anhydrous DMF (0.82 mL) was added SO₃·Py (13.0 mg, 81.7 μmol) at r.t. After stirring the reaction mixture for 10 h at r.t., SO₃·Py (65.0 mg, 0.409 mmol) was added at r.t.. After stirring for 17 h at r.t., the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The pyridinium salt was exchanged to the sodium salt by eluting over Dowex^®(Na⁺) ion-exchange resin, and the eluent was concentrated in vacuo.
