Solid-Phase Synthesis of a Phytoalexin Elicitor-Active Tetraglucosyl Glucitol

Abstract

A solid-phase synthesis of pentasaccharide 1 that has phytoalexin elicitor activity for rice is described. Efficient block-type synthesis by β-selective glycosylation with thioglycosides A ₃ and B ₂ at the 3-position of the polymer-supported glycosyl acceptor has been demonstrated.

Key words

glycosylations - oligosaccharides - phytoalexin elicitor activity - solid-phase synthesis - thioglycosides

  Spectral data of all compounds shown in this manuscript are in good agreement. β-Orientation of the glycosyl linkage was assisted by anchoring effect of the benzoate group at the 2-position and was determined by the chemical shifts of ¹³C NMR of anomeric carbons.

Compound 7 was prepared from 2 by deprotection of TBS (see ref. [3b] ) and glycosidation of the corresponding 3,6-hydroxy free phenyl thioglucoside with excess benzyl alcohol (NIS-TfOH, CH₂Cl₂, MS 4 Å, 0 °C, 52%).
