Abstract

It has been shown that O-chloroacetyl protecting groups enhance significantly sialylating activity of 2-thioethyl sialosides in model reactions of α(2-8)-sialylation. Ethyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-chloroacetyl-3,5-dideoxy-2-thio-5-trifluoroacetamido-d-glycero-α-d-galacto-non-2-ulopyranoside that combines electron-withdrawing O-chloroacetyl and N-trifluoroacetyl protecting groups displayed the best reactivity and enabled the most efficient synthesis of the Neu5Acα(2-8)Neu5Ac dimer. The GD₃ tetrasaccharide was synthesized in stepwise manner using this sialyl donor in the key (2-8)-coupling, albeit the yield was noticeably lower than in the model sialylation of monosaccharide acceptors.

Key words

chloroacetyl protecting group - 2-thioethyl sialoside - glycosylation - reactivity - GD₃ oligosaccharide

General Procedure for Model Sialylation.
A mixture of sialyl donor (0.33 mmol), sialyl acceptor (0.165 mmol) and powdered molecular sieves 3 Å (1.5 g) in MeCN (4 mL) was stirred at r.t. for 2 h, then cooled to -40 °C. Then, NIS (149 mg, 0.66 mmol) and TfOH (6 µL, 0.07 mmol) were added and the resulting mixture was stirred at -40 °C for 1.5 h. A drop of pyridine was added, the mixture was diluted with CHCl₃ and filtered through Celite. The solids were washed with CHCl₃, combined filtrates were washed with 1 M Na₂S₂O₃ solution, H₂O, and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of MeOH (3 mL) and HOAc (1 mL) and thiourea (20 mg) was added. After being stirred for 7-8 min, the mixture was diluted with CHCl₃, thoroughly washed with H₂O, and the solvent was evaporated. The residue was subjected to gel permeation chromatography on a column with Bio Beads S-X3 (Bio-Rad) in toluene. Disaccharide fractions were pooled and concentrated to give a mixture of 18 and 19. Pure anomers were isolated by preparative HPLC (LiChrosorb Si-60 column, K-2401 RI detector, both from Knauer) using toluene-acetone mixtures as eluents.
