Abstract

The polymer-resin hybrid type capture-release purification strategy for oligosaccharide synthesis was renewed as more rapid and straightforward manner. The substrate for N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V trisaccharide was synthesized rapidly on PEG (poly (ethylene glycol) methyl ether) and purified by use of the strategy.

    Separation of β-mannoside and 3-O-alkylated regioisomer was difficult at this stage. For easier separation, the remained hydroxy groups were acetylated and the anomeric acetyl group of the regio isomer was removed by piperidine. The linkage of stereochemistry of anomeric position of 6 was confirmed by 1H NMR analysis (JCH = 156.6 Hz in C6D6) and NOE experiment between H-1 and H-5.

During the benzylation, the methyl group was changed to benzyl ether (7.9%) and carboxylic acid (9.5%). As the separation of methyl ester and benzyl ester was difficult, the mixture of the ester was hydrolyzed.

Previously, the average molecular weight 550 PEG was used as a polymer support and it works as ‘tag’ efficiently. However, in this case, its molecular weight is not sufficient for the ‘tag’ for the purification because of lack of enough polarity.

11

Although the characteristic ‘mountain’ like shape of the spectra of monosaccharide and disaccharide were not completely separated, the monitoring of progress of the reaction was possible. After the reaction, quite high purity of PEG-bound disaccharide was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy.

The ratio of α:β at the newly formed anomeric carbon is 1:9.9.

14

Compound 14 was prepared from Boc-β-Ala-Merrifield resin (0.66 mmol/g) in 2 steps. i) TFA, CH2Cl2, then Et3N; ii) Boc-S-tert-butylmercapto-l-cysteine, HOBt, N, N′-diisopropylcarbodiimide, DMF. After peptide bond formation, ninhydrin test showed >99% yield.

15

After releasing step, further purification of the released product was not necessary in the case of Boc group protected cysteine, compared to the Fmoc version.

16

The acetyl group of glucosamine was deprotected under esterification by use of(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane.
