title: Silyl protection in the solid-phase synthesis of N-linked glycopeptides. Preparation of glycosylated fluorogenic substrates for subtilisins.
abstract: The trimethylsilyl (TMS) group was used for protection of the hydroxy groups of three disaccharide 1-amino-alditols and of the glycosylamines of glucose, maltotriose and maltoheptose. The per-O-trimethylsilylated derivatives were coupled with N alpha-Fmoc-Asp(Cl)-OPfp 7 to give six glycosylated building blocks for the solid-phase synthesis of N-linked glycopeptides. Building block 8 was used in the synthesis of five internally quenched fluorescent substrates which were studied by enzymatic hydrolysis with savinase, a subtilisin-type enzyme.
