title: Syntheses of model compounds related to an antigenic epitope in pectic polysaccharides from Bupleurum falcatum L.
abstract: Stereocontrolled syntheses of model compounds related to a category of the major antigenic epitope against anti-bupleurum 2IIc/PG-1-IgG from an anti-ulcer pectic polysaccharide are described. Glycosylation of the glucuronic acid donors methyl(2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate)uronate and methyl (2,3-di-O-benzoyl-4-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)uronate-(1-->6)-2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate with the common acceptor 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside in the presence of trimethylsilyl triflate (TMSOTf) gave the desired di- and trisaccharide derivatives. Furthermore the products were transformed into the oligo-valent clustering saccharides, N,N',N"-tri-(5-[4-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid-(1-->6)-beta-D-galactopyranosyloxy]pentylcarbonylaminoethyl)-1,3,5-benzenetriamide and N,N',N"-tri-(5-[4-O-methyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid (1-->6)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-galactopyranosyloxy]pentylcarbonylaminoethyl)-1,3,5-benzenetriamide.
