Synthesis of Novel Pseudodisaccharides and Neoglycoconjugates Containing an N-Glycosyl Carbamate Backbone

Abstract

A new class of pseudodisaccharides is presented in which a N-glycosyl carbamate is connected to a monosaccharide unit, using a mild and stereo-controlled isocyanide approach. The methodology was extended to the case of neoglycoconjugates ­useful as synthons for the construction of molecules with potential therapeutic interest.

Key words

carbohydrates - glycosyl carbamates - oligosaccharides - isocyanate - glycoconjugates

  Procedure for the Deprotection of 1a: Compound 1a (90 mg, 0.11 mmol) was hydrogenated in MeOH (2 mL) in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd/C; the crude product was deacetylated in methanolic NaOMe (0.02 mmol), giving 44 mg of 4a, with a 100% overall yield.

  Deprotection of 1d: To a solution of compound 1d (109 mg, 0.13 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (2 mL), 90% aq TFA (620 µL) was added; after 1.5 h, the mixture was diluted with CH₂Cl₂ (15 mL) and washed with a sat. solution of NaHCO₃ (10 mL). The organic layer was dried over Na₂SO₄ and the solvent was evaporated. The crude product was dissolved in dry MeOH (4 mL) and 70 µL of a 1 M solution of NaOMe (0.07 mmol) were added, furnishing 60 mg of 4d (92%) as a white solid after flash chromatography.
