Abstract

The syntheses are reported for the first time of alpha-L-IdopA2SO(3)-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc4SO(3)-(1-->4)-alpha-L-IdopA2SO(3)-(1-->OMe), its disulfated analogue alpha-L-IdopA2SO(3)-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc-(1-->4)-alpha-L-IdopA2SO(3)-(1-->OMe), and of beta-D-GalpNAc4SO(3)-(1-->4)-alpha-L-IdopA2SO(3)-(1-->3)-beta-D-GalpNAc4SO(3)-(1-->OMe), which represent structural fragments of dermatan sulfate, unavailable directly by chemical or enzymatic degradation of the glycosaminoglycan polymer. These molecules were readily obtained from a pair of key disaccharide intermediates, in which the relative difference of stability of the D-GalNAc 4-hydroxy protecting groups (acetate or pivalate) toward saponification conditions allowed access to various sulfoforms from a common precursor. For the preparation of these blocks, the 4-O-pivaloyl-D-galacto moiety was readily obtained through a one-pot stereospecific intramolecular nucleophilic displacement on an easily available 3-O-pivaloyl-D-gluco precursor, and the L-IdoA moiety through selective radical oxidation at C-6 of a L-ido 4,6-diol derivative with oxoammonium salts.
