  • Title: Synthesis of two oligosaccharides, the GPI anchor glycans from S. cerevesiae and A. fumigatus.
    Author: Ma Z, Zhang J, Kong F.
    Journal: Carbohydr Res; 2004 Jan 02; 339(1):29-35. PubMed ID: 14659668.
    Abstract:
    Two oligosaccharides, alpha-D-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->6)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GlcpNAc (I) and alpha-D-Manp-(1-->3)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->2)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->6)-alpha-D-Manp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GlcpNAc (II), the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor glycans from S. cerevesiae and A. fumigatus were synthesized as their methyl glycosides in a regio- and stereoselective manner. The pentasaccharide I was obtained from 6-O-selective glycosylation of methyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2-acetamido-3,6-di-O-benzoyl-2-deoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (8) with 2-O-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->2)-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (9), followed by benzoylation, deacetylation, and mannosylation, and then by deprotection. The hexasaccharide (II) was obtained via condensation of allyl 3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->2)-3,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranoside (17) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (16), followed by deallylation, trichloroacetimidation, and coupling with acceptor (8), and finally by deprotection.
