Abstract

A 3,5-didocosyloxybenzyl alcohol tag that was introduced at the anomeric position of the carbohydrate acceptor was applied in the assembly of a pentasaccharide. The intrinsic high solubility in nonpolar solvent and precipitation properties in polar solvent are crucial features of this tag. Thus, rapid and simple precipitation-centrifugation can be conducted throughout the synthetic route at each step to ease work-up and purification processes, and reduce the amount of solvent required. This method provides an efficient, environmental-friendly, and economical approach to synthesize complex oligosaccharides.

Key words

oligosaccharides - glycosylation - precipitation-centrifugation - liquid-phase - tags

12 General Procedure for Precipitation-Centrifugation Separation (0.08 mmol scale): After addition of MeCN (0.5 mL) to the concentrated reaction mixture, the product was precipitated, which was centrifuged for 2 min to remove the supernatant liquor. This precipitation-centrifugation process was repeated four to five times.
13 General Procedure of Glycosylation for 3a–e: A mixture of donor 2 (2.0 equiv), acceptor (1.0 equiv) and flame-dried 4Å powdered molecular sieves (MS, 36 mg per 30 mg donor) was stirred in anhydrous DCM (1.0 mL per 30 mg donor) for 30 min at 25 °C under Ar. TMSOTf (0.3 equiv) was added dropwise at 0 °C, and the reaction was stirred for 2 h at 25 °C. Once the reaction was completed (monitored by TLC), it was neutralized with triethylamine, followed by filtration to remove MS. The filtrate was concentrated in an Eppendorf tube, and then precipitation-centrifugation separation was performed. Compound 3a: White solid; 88% yield through precipitation-centrifugation isolation. ¹H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 7.91 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 2 H), 7.83 (t, J = 8.8 Hz, 4 H), 7.71 (d, J = 6.8 Hz, 2 H), 7.61 (d, J = 6.4 Hz, 2 H), 7.50 (q, J = 7.6 Hz, 2 H), 7.45–7.28 (m, 10 H), 7.25–7.19 (m, 3 H), 6.34 (s, 3 H), 5.79 (t, J = 9.5 Hz, 1 H), 5.62 (t, J = 9.5 Hz, 1 H), 5.56 (dd, J = 9.5, 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 4.86, 4.62 (2d, J_gem = 12.0 Hz, 2 H), 4.83 (d, J = 7.6 Hz, 1 H), 3.91–3.79 (m, 3 H), 3.73 (dt, J = 8.9, 6.5 Hz, 2 H), 3.64 (dt, J = 8.9, 6.4 Hz, 2 H), 1.68–1.60 (m, 4 H), 1.37–1.25 (m, 76 H), 1.06 (s, 9 H), 0.88 (t, J = 6.6 Hz, 6 H). ¹³C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl₃): δ = 166.02, 165.28, 165.14, 160.51, 138.94, 135.80, 135.65, 133.32, 133.20, 129.97, 129.90, 129.81, 129.52, 129.33, 129.12, 128.44, 128.37, 127.79, 106.01, 101.12, 98.97, 75.36, 73.49, 72.17, 70.11, 69.50, 67.98, 62.96, 32.08, 29.86, 29.60, 29.51, 29.41, 26.82, 26.20, 19.35, 14.27.
