α-Selective Sialylations with N-Acetyl-5-N,4-O-Oxazolidinone-Protected p-Toluenethiosialoside

Abstract

A novel N-acetyl-5-N,4-O-oxazolidinone-protected p-toluenethiosialoside was readily prepared from sialic acid and p-toluenethiol. It was demonstrated that the p-toluenethiosialoside could be successfully applied to the α-selective sialylations with various glycosyl acceptors in good yields. In the coupling of N-acetyl-5-N,4-O-oxazolidinone-protected p-toluenethiosialoside and gluco alcohol, a quantitative reaction yield and high α-selectivity were obtained in dichloromethane-acetonitrile (2:1) at -40 ˚C.

General Sialylation Procedure (with the Coupling Between 1 and 6 as Example)
To a mixture of donor 1 (40.0 mg, 0.07 mmol, 1.0 equiv), acceptor 6 (38.4 mg, 0.08 mmol, 1.2 equiv), and activated 4 Å powdered MS, was added anhyd CH₂Cl₂-MeCN (2:1, 3 mL). The resulted solution was stirred for 0.5 h at r.t. under Ar, and then cooled to -40 ˚C followed by addition of NIS (37.7 mg, 0.17 mmol, 2.4 equiv) and TfOH (6.0 µL, 0.07 mmol, 1.0 equiv). The reaction was stirred at -40 ˚C for 1 h. After quenched with Et₃N (0.1 mL), the mixture was diluted with CH₂Cl₂, filtered through Celite, washed with 20% aq Na₂S₂O₃ solution, dried over Na₂SO₄, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on SiO₂ eluting with hexane-EtOAc system to give the coupling product.
