    Abstract:
    Sialyl Lewis X ganglioside analogues modified at C-6 of the galactose residue, having 6-O-methoxy, 6-acetamido and 6-amino functional groups, have been synthesized. Treatment of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl (methyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5- dideoxy-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate)-(2-->3)- 2-O-benzoyl -beta-D-galactopyranoside with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate or Tf2O, followed by NaN3, gave the 6-O-methyl and 6-azido derivatives, respectively, which were converted into their respective methyl 1-thioglycoside derivatives. The glycosyl donors obtained were coupled with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2- acetamido-6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-3-O-(4-methoxybenzyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl - (1-->)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->4)-2,3,6-tri-O-be nzyl- beta-D-galactopyranoside in the presence of dimethyl(methylthio)sulfonium triflate (DMTST) to give their respective pentasaccharides. The glycosylation of the pentasaccharide acceptors derived from their precursors by removal of the 4-methoxybenzyl group, with phenyl 1-thioglycoside derivative of L-fucose using N-iodosuccinimide-TfOH afforded the corresponding hexasaccharides, which were transformed in good yield, via reductive removal of the benzyl group, the simultaneous transformation of azide to amine and acetamide, Omicron-deacylation and saponification of the methyl ester into the target compounds without the ceramide groups. On the other hand, the proper manipulation of the protecting group of the hexasaccharides, including a transformation of azide into acetamide and trifluoroacetamide, gave the hexasaccharide imidates, which were coupled with (2S,3R,4E)-2-azido-o-O-tert-butyldipenhylsilyl-4-o ctadecene-1,3-diol. Selective reduction of the azido group, N-acylation with octadecanoic acid, and the complete removal of the protecting groups gave the desired sialyl LeX ganglioside analogues.
