Versatile set of orthogonal protecting groups for the preparation of highly branched oligosaccharides.

ABSTRACT: A new set of orthogonal protecting groups has been developed based on the use of a diethylisopropylsilyl (DEIPS), methylnaphthyl (Nap), allyl ether, and levulinoyl (Lev) ester. The protecting groups are ideally suited for the preparation of highly branched oligosaccharides and their usefulness has been demonstrated by the chemical synthesis of a ?-D-Man-(1?4)-D-Man disaccharide, which is appropriately protected for making a range of part-structures of the unusual core region of the lipopolysaccharide of Francisella tularensis.

A new set of orthogonal protecting groups has been developed based on the use of a diethylisopropylsilyl (DEIPS), methylnaphthyl (Nap), allyl ether, and levulinoyl (Lev) ester. The protecting groups are ideally suited for the preparation of highly branched oligosaccharides and their usefulness has been demonstrated by the chemical synthesis of a β-D-Man-(1→4)-D-Man disaccharide, which is appropriately protected for making a range of part-structures of the unusual core region of the lipopolysacch ...[more]

Preparation of a Molecular Library of Branched β-Glucan Oligosaccharides Derived from Laminarin.

Project description:To study the structure of β-glucans, we developed a separation method and molecular library of β-glucan oligosaccharides. The oligosaccharides were prepared by partial acid hydrolysis from laminarin, which is a β-glucan of Laminaria digitata. They were labeled with the 2-aminopyridine fluorophore and separated to homogeneity by size-fractionation and reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Branching structures of all isomeric oligosaccharides from trimers to pentamers were determined, and a two-dimensional (2D)-HPLC map of the β-glucan oligosaccharides was made based on the data. Next, structural analysis of the longer β-glucan oligosaccharide was performed using the 2D-HPLC map. A branched decamer oligosaccharide was isolated from the β-glucan and cleaved to smaller oligosaccharides by partial acid hydrolysis. The structure of the longer oligosaccharide was successfully elucidated from the fragment structures determined by the 2D-HPLC map. The molecular library and the 2D-HPLC map described in this study will be useful for the structural analysis of β-glucans.

Versatile Strategy for the Preparation of Woody Biochar with Oxygen-Rich Groups and Enhanced Porosity for Highly Efficient Cr(VI) Removal.

Project description:Biochar is widely used to remove hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] from wastewater through adsorption, which is recognized as a facile, cost-efficient, and high-selectivity approach. In this study, a versatile strategy that combines delignification with subsequent carbonization and KOH activation is proposed to prepare a novel woody biochar from waste poplar sawdust. By virtue of the unique multilayered and honeycomb porous structure induced by delignification and activation processes, the resultant activated carbonized delignified wood (ACDW) exhibits a high specific surface area of 970.52 m2 g-1 with increasing meso- and micropores and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. As a benign adsorbent for the uptake of Cr(VI) in wastewater, ACDW delivers a remarkable adsorption capacity of 294.86 mg g-1 in maximum, which is significantly superior to that of unmodified counterparts and other reported biochars. Besides, the adsorption behaviors fit better with the Langmuir isotherm, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption diffusion model in batch experiments. Based on the results, we put forward the conceivable adsorption mechanism that the synergistic contributions of the capillary force, electrostatic attraction, chemical complexation, and reduction action facilitate the Cr(VI) capture by ACDW.

De novo asymmetric synthesis of all-D-, all-L-, and D-/L-oligosaccharides using atom-less protecting groups.

Project description:Oligosaccharide synthesis is hindered by the need for multiple steps as well as numerous selective protections and deprotections. Herein we report a highly efficient de novo route to various oligosaccharide motifs, of use for biological and medicinal structure activity studies. The key to the overall efficiency is the judicious use of asymmetric catalysis and synthetic design. These green principles include the bidirectional use of highly stereoselective catalysis (Pd(0)-catalyzed glycosylation/post-glycosylation). In addition, the chemoselective use of C-C and C-O π-bond functionality, as atom-less protecting groups as well as an anomeric directing group (via a Pd-π-allyl), highlights the atom-economical aspects of the route to a divergent set of natural and unnatural oligosaccharides (i.e., various d-/l-diastereomers of oligosaccharides as well as deoxysugars which lack C-2 anomeric directing groups). For example, in only 12 steps, the construction of a highly branched heptasaccharide with 35 stereocenters was accomplished from an achiral acylfuran.

A Convergent Synthesis of 6-O-Branched ?-Glucan Oligosaccharides.

Project description:?-Glucans are important carbohydrate antigens on the surface of fungal cells useful for antifungal vaccine development. This paper has described a highly convergent and efficient strategy for the synthesis of structurally defined branched ?-glucan oligosaccharides that can be used for detailed studies of ?-glucans and for the design of ?-glucan-based vaccines. The strategy was highlighted by assembling the title compounds via preactivation-based glycosylation with thioglycosides as glycosyl donors. It was used to successfully prepare ?-glucan oligosaccharides that had a ?-1,3-linked nonaglucan backbone with ?-1,6-glucotetraose, ?-1,3-glucodiose and ?-1,3-glucotetraose branches at the 6-O-position of the nonaglucan central sugar unit. The structure and size of the glycosyl donors and acceptors used in the syntheses did not significantly affect the glycosylation efficiency, suggesting that the strategy can be generally useful for the synthesis of more complex structures.

Orthogonal dipolar interactions between amide carbonyl groups.

Project description:Orthogonal dipolar interactions between amide C=O bond dipoles are commonly found in crystal structures of small molecules, proteins, and protein-ligand complexes. We herein present the experimental quantification of such interactions by employing a model system based on a molecular torsion balance. Application of a thermodynamic double-mutant cycle allows for the determination of the incremental energetic contributions attributed to the dipolar contact between 2 amide C=O groups. The stabilizing free interaction enthalpies in various apolar and polar solvents amount to -2.73 kJ mol(-1) and lie in the same range as aromatic-aromatic C-H...pi and pi-pi interactions. High-level intermolecular perturbation theory (IMPT) calculations on an orthogonal acetamide/N-acetylpyrrole complex in the gas phase at optimized contact distance predict a favorable interaction energy of -9.71 kJ mol(-1). The attractive dipolar contacts reported herein provide a promising tool for small-molecule crystal design and the enhancement of ligand-protein interactions during lead optimization in medicinal chemistry.

7-[<sup>18</sup>F]Fluoro-8-azaisatoic Anhydrides: Versatile Prosthetic Groups for the Preparation of PET Tracers.

Project description:18F-Fluorination of sensitive molecules is often challenging, but can be accomplished under suitably mild conditions using radiofluorinated prosthetic groups (PGs). Herein, 1-alkylamino-7-[18F]fluoro-8-azaisatoic anhydrides ([18F]AFAs) are introduced as versatile 18F-labeled building blocks that can be used as amine-reactive or "click chemistry" PGs. [18F]AFAs were efficiently prepared within 15 min by "on cartridge" radiolabeling of readily accessible trimethylammonium precursors. Conjugation with a range of amines afforded the corresponding 2-alkylamino-6-[18F]fluoronicotinamides in radiochemical conversions (RCCs) of 15-98%. In addition, radiolabeling of alkyne- or azide-functionalized precursors with azidopropyl- or propargyl-substituted [18F]AFAs using Cu-catalyzed click cycloaddition afforded the corresponding conjugates in RCCs of 44-88%. The practical utility of the PGs was confirmed by the preparation of three 18F-labeled PSMA ligands in radiochemical yields of 28-42%. Biological evaluation in rats demonstrated excellent in vivo stability of all three conjugates. In addition, one conjugate ([18F]JK-PSMA-15) showed favorable imaging properties for high-contrast visualization of small PSMA-positive lesions.

Synthesis of branched Man5 oligosaccharides and an unusual stereochemical observation.

Project description:Branched mannopentaoses were synthesized through two routes. While assembly from the nonreducing end to the reducing end was more convergent with fewer intermediate steps, two diastereomers were obtained. On the other hand, synthesis from the reducing end to the nonreducing end yielded the mannopentaose with the desired stereochemistry as a single isomer. Our results suggest that it is still challenging to reliably predict stereochemical outcome of a glycosylation reaction. It is necessary to thoroughly characterize anomeric configurations of newly formed glycosidic linkages in complex oligosaccharide synthesis.

Versatile Preparation of Branched Polylactides by Low-Temperature, Organocatalytic Ring-Opening Polymerization in <i>N</i>-Methylpyrrolidone and Their Surface Degradation Behavior.

Project description:We describe how the organocatalytic, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-based lactide ring-opening polymerization can be effectively performed in a very polar solvent, N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). Due to a low ceiling temperature, this "living" mechanism has been unreported to date, but we here demonstrate that through a combination of low temperature and repeated monomer additions (starve-fed process), this mechanism enables the generation of a plethora of multifunctional homo- and (stereo)block-poly(lactide)s (PLAs) with exquisite control of the molecular weight dispersity (typically Đ < 1.1) and topology (from linear through 4-, 6-, or 8-armed stars and up to ∼140 armed combs). They are scarcely obtainable or inaccessible through more classical synthetic methods due to the poor solubility of multifunctional initiators (polyols) in most organic solvents and monomer melts. In these precisely designed structures, branching significantly altered the nature of the materials' hydrolytic degradation, allowing them to acquire a pronounced surface character (as opposed to the bulk degradation of linear polymers). Finally, we have assessed the amenability of this method to in situ block copolymerization by using the tacticity of PLLA blocks in PLLA-b-PDLLA versus PDLLA-b-PLLA (L-LA polymerized before or after DL-LA) as a sensitive method to detect (stereochemical) defects.

Combinatorial discovery of two-photon photoremovable protecting groups.

Project description:A design principle for a two-photon photochemically removable protecting group based on sequential one-photon processes has been established. The expected performance of such groups in spatially directed photoactivation/photodeprotection has been shown by a kinetic analysis. One particular molecular class fitting into this design, the nitrobenzyl ethers of o-hydroxycinnamates, has been presented. An initial demonstration of two-photon deprotection of one such group prompted further optimization with respect to photochemical deprotection rate. This was accomplished by the preparation and screening of a 135-member indexed combinatorial library. Optimum performance for lambda >350 nm deprotection in organic solvent was found with 4,5-dialkoxy and -cyano substitution in the nitrobenzyl group and 4-methoxy substitution in the cinnamate.
