Abstract

An integrated microfluidic/batch system was applied to the chemical N-glycosylation by the asparagine amide group, a key glycosyl bond-formation reaction in the synthesis of N-glycopeptides. By applying the advantageous features of microfluidic conditions, that is, efficient mixing and rapid heat transfer, the GlcNTrocβAsn and the Fucα(1-6)GlcNTrocβAsn fragments were efficiently prepared.

Key words

N-glycosylation - asparagine - microreactor - oligosaccharide - N-glycopeptide

Procedure of N-Glycosylation Using an Integrated Microfluidic/Batch System
A solution of TMSOTf (33 µL, 180 µmol, 43 mM) in CH2Cl2 (4.2 mL) was injected, in advance, into the micromixer by a syringe pump at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Then a solution of donor 1a (1.0 g, 1.1 mmol, 260 mM) and acceptor 2 (110 mg, 360 µmol, 86 mM) dissolved in CH2Cl2 (4.2 mL) was injected into the IMM micromixer by another syringe pump at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The reaction was mixed at r.t. After the reaction mixture was allowed to flow at r.t. for an additional 94 s through a Teflon tube reactor (Φ = 1.0 mm, l = 1.0 m), the mixture was introduced into a flask, and stirred for 12 h at this temperature. Then the mixture was quenched by an aq NaHCO3 solution. The resulting mixture was extracted with EtOAc, washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the
crude product. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (from 25-33% EtOAc in hexane) to give N-glycoside 3a as a white solid (376 mg, 85%).
