    Abstract:
    Condensation of benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2- deoxy-3-O-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (2) and its 4-acetate (4) with L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine benzyl ester via the mixed anhydride method yielded N-(2-O-[benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D- glucopyranosyl)-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosid-3-yl]-(R)-lacto yl)-L- alanyl-D-isoglutamine benzyl ester (5) and its 4-acetate (6), respectively. Condensation by the dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide-N-hydroxysuccinimide method converted 2 into benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl- 2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-3-O-[(R)-1-carboxyethyl]-2-deoxy-alpha-D- glucopyranoside 1',4-lactone (7). In the presence of activating agents, 7 underwent aminolysis with the dipeptide ester to give 5. Zemplén O-deacetylation of 5 and 6 led to transesterification and alpha----gamma transamidation of the isoglutaminyl residue to give N-(2-O-[benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2- acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyr anosid-3- yl]-(R)-lactoyl)-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine methyl ester (8) and -glutamine methyl ester (9). Treatment of 6 with MgO-methanol caused deacetylation at the GlcNAc residue to give a mixture of N-(2-O-[benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-2- deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-4-O-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyra nosid-3- yl]-(R)-lactoyl)-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine methyl ester (11) and -glutamine methyl ester (12). Benzyl or methyl ester-protection of peptidoglycan-related structures is not compatible with any of the reactions requiring alkaline media. Condensation of 2 with L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine tert-butyl ester gave N-(2-O-[benzyl 2-acetamido- 6-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-2,3-d ideoxy- alpha-D-glucopyranosid-3-yl]-(R)-lactoyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine tert-butyl ester (16), deacetylation of which, under Zemplén conditions, proceeded without side-reactions to afford N-(2-O-[benzyl 2-acetamido-6-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D- glucopyranosyl)-2,3-dideoxy-alpha-D-glucopyranosid-3-yl]-(R)-la cotyl)-L- alanyl-D-isoglutamine tert-butyl ester (17).
