title: Synthesis of globo- and isoglobotriosides bearing a cinnamoylphenyl tag as novel electrophilic thiol-specific carbohydrate reagents.
abstract: The galactosyl donor, 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2,3-di-O-benzyl-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate, was efficiently coupled with regioselectively benzylated lactoside acceptors under standard conditions to stereoselectively afford the corresponding globotrioside and isoglobotrioside derivatives in very good yields. These glycosides were smoothly functionalized with a 6-(p-cinnamoylphenoxy)-hexyl tether tag as novel electrophilic thiol-specific carbohydrate reagents. Immobilization of the globotrioside conjugate to Thiopropyl Sepharose 6B for purification of B-subunit of Shiga toxin (StxB) and coupling of a model cysteine-containing protein (StxB-Z(n)-Cys) to the isoglobotrioside conjugate were both performed with high efficiency.
