Aqueous Glycosylation of Unprotected Sucrose Employing Glycosyl Fluorides in the Presence of Calcium Ion and Trimethylamine.

ABSTRACT: We report a synthetic glycosylation reaction between sucrosyl acceptors and glycosyl fluoride donors to yield the derived trisaccharides. This reaction proceeds at room temperature in an aqueous solvent mixture. Calcium salts and a tertiary amine base promote the reaction with high site-selectivity for either the 3'-position or 1'-position of the fructofuranoside unit. Because nonenzymatic aqueous oligosaccharide syntheses are underdeveloped, mechanistic studies were carried out in order to identify the origin of the selectivity, which we hypothesized was related to the structure of the hydroxyl group array in sucrose. The solution conformation of various monodeoxysucrose analogs revealed the co-operative nature of the hydroxyl groups in mediating both this aqueous glycosyl bond-forming reaction and the site-selectivity at the same time.

Metal-free glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides in liquid SO<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Liquid SO2 is a polar solvent that dissolves both covalent and ionic compounds. Sulfur dioxide possesses also Lewis acid properties, including the ability to covalently bind Lewis basic fluoride ions in a relatively stable fluorosulfite anion (FSO2 -). Herein we report the application of liquid SO2 as a promoting solvent for glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides without any external additive. By using various temperature regimes, the method is applied for both armed and disarmed glucose and mannose-derived glycosyl fluorides in moderate to excellent yields. A series of pivaloyl-protected O- and S-mannosides, as well as one example of a C-mannoside, are synthesized to demonstrate the scope of the glycosyl acceptors. The formation of the fluorosulfite species during the glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides in liquid SO2 is proved by 19F NMR spectroscopy. A sulfur dioxide-assisted glycosylation mechanism that proceeds via solvent separated ion pairs is proposed, whereas the observed α,β-selectivity is substrate-controlled and depends on the thermodynamic equilibrium.

Rapid phenolic O-glycosylation of small molecules and complex unprotected peptides in aqueous solvent.

Project description:Glycosylated natural products and synthetic glycopeptides represent a significant and growing source of biochemical probes and therapeutic agents. However, methods that enable the aqueous glycosylation of endogenous amino acid functionality in peptides without the use of protecting groups are scarce. Here, we report a transformation that facilitates the efficient aqueous O-glycosylation of phenolic functionality in a wide range of small molecules, unprotected tyrosine, and tyrosine residues embedded within a range of complex, fully unprotected peptides. The transformation, which uses glycosyl fluoride donors and is promoted by Ca(OH)2, proceeds rapidly at room temperature in water, with good yields and selective formation of unique anomeric products depending on the stereochemistry of the glycosyl donor. High functional group tolerance is observed, and the phenol glycosylation occurs selectively in the presence of virtually all side chains of the proteinogenic amino acids with the singular exception of Cys. This method offers a highly selective, efficient, and operationally simple approach for the protecting-group-free synthesis of O-aryl glycosides and Tyr-O-glycosylated peptides in water.

The hydrolysis of glycosyl fluorides by glycosidases.

Project description:1. alpha-d- and beta-d-Glucopyranosyl, alpha-d- and beta-d-galactopyranosyl, alpha-d-mannopyranosyl and alpha-d-xylopyranosyl fluorides were hydrolysed specifically by the respective glycosidases from several sources. 2. Use of specific inhibitors with a mixture of glycosidases from Helix pomatia intestinal juice showed that each glycosyl fluoride was hydrolysed only by the respective glycosidase. alpha-d-Glucopyranosidase and alpha-d-xylopyranosidase activities were shown to be due to different enzymes. 3. Partially purified enzyme preparations containing only one of the glycosidase activities hydrolysed only the corresponding glycosyl fluoride. 4. The configuration at C-1 of alpha-d-mannopyranosyl fluoride was confirmed since it was hydrolysed by an alpha-d-mannosidase preparation that contained no detectable beta-d-mannosidase activity. 5. An attempt to prepare o-nitrophenyl beta-d-mannopyranoside led only to o-nitrophenyl alpha-d-mannopyranoside.

Synthesis of Glycosyl Fluorides by Photochemical Fluorination with Sulfur(VI) Hexafluoride.

Project description:This study describes a new convenient method for the photocatalytic generation of glycosyl fluorides using sulfur(VI) hexafluoride as an inexpensive and safe fluorinating agent and 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone as a readily available organic photocatalyst. This mild method was employed to generate 16 different glycosyl fluorides, including the substrates with acid and base labile functionalities, in yields of 43%-97%, and it was applied in continuous flow to accomplish fluorination on an 7.7 g scale and 93% yield.

Electrochemical Synthesis of Glycosyl Fluorides Using Sulfur(VI) Hexafluoride as the Fluorinating Agent.

Project description:This manuscript describes the electrochemical synthesis of 17 different glycosyl fluorides in 73-98% yields on up to a 5 g scale that relies on the use of SF6 as an inexpensive and safe fluorinating agent. Cyclic voltammetry and related mechanistic studies carried out subsequently suggest that the active fluorinating species generated through the cathodic reduction of SF6 are transient under these reductive conditions and that the sulfur and fluoride byproducts are effectively scavenged by Zn(II) to generate benign salts.

Energetics of the Glycosyl Transfer Reactions of Sucrose Phosphorylase.

Project description:From its structure and mechanism, sucrose phosphorylase is a specialized glycoside hydrolase that uses phosphate ions instead of water as the nucleophile of the reaction. Unlike the hydrolysis reaction, the phosphate reaction is readily reversible and, here, this has enabled the study of temperature effects on kinetic parameters to map the energetic profile of the complete catalytic process via a covalent glycosyl enzyme intermediate. Enzyme glycosylation from sucrose and α-glucose 1-phosphate (Glc1P) is rate-limiting in the forward (kcat = 84 s-1) and reverse direction (kcat = 22 s-1) of reaction at 30 °C. Enzyme-substrate association is driven by entropy (TΔSb ≥ +23 kJ/mol), likely arising from enzyme desolvation at the binding site for the leaving group. Approach from the ES complex to the transition state involves uptake of heat (ΔH⧧ = 72 ± 5.2 kJ/mol) with little further change in entropy. The free energy barrier for the enzyme-catalyzed glycoside bond cleavage in the substrate is much lower than that for the non-enzymatic reaction (knon), ΔΔG⧧ = ΔGnon⧧ - ΔGenzyme⧧ = +72 kJ/mol; sucrose. This ΔΔG⧧, which also describes the virtual binding affinity of the enzyme for the activated substrate in the transition state (∼1014 M-1), is almost entirely enthalpic in origin. The enzymatic rate acceleration (kcat/knon) is ∼1012-fold and similar for reactions of sucrose and Glc1P. The 103-fold lower reactivity (kcat/Km) of glycerol than fructose in enzyme deglycosylation reflects major losses in the activation entropy, suggesting a role of nucleophile/leaving group recognition by the enzyme in inducing the active-site preorganization required for optimum transition state stabilization by enthalpic forces.

Colorimetric quantification of sucrose in presence of thermo-sensitive polymers present in aqueous two-phase systems.

Project description:The use of biodegradable material such as simple carbohydrates and recyclable material such as thermo-sensitive polymers is in need to develop a sustainable aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) for the purification of biomolecules. Accurate determination of sucrose concentration is important in liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) study of carbohydrate-based ATPS. The well-established phenol-sulfuric acid method has been widely employed in the measurement of carbohydrate concentration. However, the presence of thermo-sensitive polymers, which has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) below room temperature, in carbohydrate samples could hamper the precision of spectrophotometric analysis due to the formation of two phases or cloudiness in the sample. Thus, the following modifications were made in an attempt to eliminate the interference occurred during conventional phenol-sulfuric acid assay.•The modified assay for sucrose quantification was performed at an ice-cold temperature throughout the reaction in order to avoid the interference from thermo-sensitive polymers.•This method required a sample volume of 3 μL and hence the volume of other reagents employed was also considerably reduced.•The absorbance was measured at 520 nm which allowed a longer linearity range (0.05-7.5%, w/v).

Versatile Glycosyl Sulfonates in β-Selective C-Glycosylation.

Project description:C-Glycosides are both a common motif in many bioactive natural products and important glycoside mimetics. We demonstrate that activating a hemiacetal with a sulfonyl chloride, followed by treating the resultant glycosyl sulfonate with an enolate results in the stereospecific construction of β-linked C-glycosides. This reaction tolerates a range of acceptors and donors, including disaccharides. The resulting products can be readily derivatized into C-glycoside analogues of β-glycoconjugates, including C-disaccharide mimetics.

A minimalist approach to stereoselective glycosylation with unprotected donors.

Project description:Mechanistic study of carbohydrate interactions in biological systems calls for the chemical synthesis of these complex structures. Owing to the specific stereo-configuration at each anomeric linkage and diversity in branching, significant breakthroughs in recent years have focused on either stereoselective glycosylation methods or facile assembly of glycan chains. Here, we introduce the unification approach that offers both stereoselective glycosidic bond formation and removal of protection/deprotection steps required for further elongation. Using dialkylboryl triflate as an in situ masking reagent, a wide array of glycosyl donors carrying one to three unprotected hydroxyl groups reacts with various glycosyl acceptors to furnish the desired products with good control over regioselectivity and stereoselectivity. This approach demonstrates the feasibility of straightforward access to important structural scaffolds for complex glycoconjugate synthesis.

OFox imidates as versatile glycosyl donors for chemical glycosylation.

Project description:Previously we communicated 3,3-difluoroxindole (HOFox) - mediated glycosylations wherein 3,3-difluoro-3H-indol-2-yl (OFox) imidates were found to be key intermediates. Both the in situ synthesis from the corresponding glycosyl bromides and activation of the OFox imidates could be conducted in a regenerative fashion. Herein, we extend this study with the main focus on the synthesis of various OFox imidates and their investigation as glycosyl donors for chemical 1,2-cis and 1,2-trans glycosylation.
