Popis: Hexa- to tridecasaccharides corresponding to the O-specific polysaccharide (O-SP) of the Gram-negative bacterium Shigella dysenteriae type 1 were synthesized in solution phase. The syntheses utilized tetra-, octa-, and dodecasaccharide intermediates that represent one to three contiguous tetrasaccharide repeating units of the O-SP [Synlett2003, 743]. These compounds were glycosylated with mono-, di-, and trisaccharide trichloroacetamidates, which were synthesized in this study. The excellent stereodirecting effect of 4,6-O-benzophenone ketals in glycosylation reactions of 2-azido-2-deoxy-glucopyranosyl donors was demonstrated. The free oligosaccharides were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and by high-resolution mass spectrometry. The oligosaccharides described herein contain the 5-(methoxycarbonyl)pentyl aglycon for eventual attachment to immunogenic carriers using a recently published protocol [J. Org. Chem.2005, 70, 6987].
