Synthesis of beta-D-glucose oligosaccharides from Phytophthora parasitica.
The glucohexaose, beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-[beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->6)]-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->3)-D-Glcp, was synthesized as its allyl glycoside via 3+3 strategy. The trisaccharide donor, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (11), was obtained by 3-selective coupling of isopropyl 4,6-O-benzylidene-1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2-O-acetyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (6), followed by hydrolysis, acetylation, dethiolation, and trichloroacetimidation. Meanwhile, the trisaccharide acceptor, allyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (14), was prepared by coupling of allyl 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (12) with 6, followed by debenzylidenation. Condensation of 14 with 11, followed by deacylation, gave the target hexaoside. A beta-(1-->3)-linked tetrasaccharide 29 was also synthesized with methyl 2-O-benzoyl-4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (25) as the acceptor and acylated beta-(1-->3)-linked disaccharide 21 as the donor.
