title: Total synthesis of the modified ganglioside de-N-acetyl-GM3 and some analogs.
abstract: Methyl[methyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3,5- dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosid]onat e was used for the glycosylation of benzyl O-(2,6-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)- and benzyl O-(2,3-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1----4)-3,6-di-O-benzyl- 2-O-pivaloyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside to give benzyl O-[methyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)- 3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate]-(2-- --3)-O-(2,6-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(21) and benzyl O-[methyl 4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-3,5- dideoxy-D-glycero-alpha-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate]-(2----6) -O-(2,3-di- O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1----4)-3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-O-pivaloyl- beta-D-glucopyranoside (18), respectively, accompanied by the beta-linked isomers 22 and 19, respectively. Compounds 18, 21, and 22 were converted into the corresponding glycotriosyl donors which, upon coupling with (2S,3R,4E)-3-O-benzoyl-2-N-tetracosanoylsphingenine, afforded completely protected ganglioside analogs 39, 40, and 41, respectively. Deprotection of 40, 41, and 39 completed the synthesis of the modified ganglioside de-N-acetyl-GM3, a stereoisomer, and a regioisomer. The N-deprotected forms of 40 and 39, on successive treatment with methyl isocyanate and O-deprotection, gave the N-(N-methylcarbamoyl) analogs of GM3 and its regioisomer.
