Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of the spacer-armed disaccharide α-d-Xyl-(1→3)-β-d-Glc-O-(CH2)3NH2 and trisaccharide α-d-Xyl-(1→3)-α-d-Xyl-(1→3)-β-d-Glc-O-(CH2)3NH2, as well as of their N-octanoyl derivatives, was performed for their subsequent use as acceptors and reference samples in xylosyltransferase assays. These structures are found as O-linked glycans on epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains of several blood-clotting factors and Notch. The target products were prepared by glycosylation with a 3-O-acetylated xylosyl donor that was previously found to be an effective α-xylosylating agent. However, in this paper we show that the structure of the glycosyl acceptor could influence the stereochemical results of the glycosylation and even lead to reversed stereoselectivity in the case of one acceptor.

Key words

carbohydrates - glycosylations - stereoselectivity - α-xylosylations - remote participation
