a b s t r a c t The ABO histo-blood group system is one of the most clinically important antigen families. As part of our overall goal to prepare the entire set of the A, B and H type I–VI antigens for a range of biochemical investigations, we report herein the synthesis of the type I and II antigens with a 7-octen-1-yl aglycone. This linker was chosen to facilitate not only the future conjugation of the antigens to a protein or solid support but also the synthesis of the H type I and II octyl glycosides for enzyme kinetic studies.

1. Introduction The ABO histo-blood group system has long been of interest to the biological and medical sciences as these antigens are one of the most important clinical considerations for both transfusion and transplantation.1,2 This family of antigens consists of three oligosaccharide epitopes (1–3, Fig. 1), the structures of which were elucidated by Morgan and Watkins in 1957.3 The H(O) antigen was shown to be a disaccharide consisting of L-fucose and D-galactose (3, Fig. 1), while the A and the B antigens (1 and 2) were shown to be trisaccharides containing the disaccharide H antigen with an additional N-acetyl-galactosamine or a galactose residue, respectively. It was later shown by Tuppy and Staudenbauer that individuals who are of the A histo-blood group possess an N-acetyl-galactosaminyl transferase (GTA) capable of adding N-acetyl galactosamine to the 3-OH group of the H antigen galactose moiety.4 On the other hand, individuals of the B histo-blood group possess a galactosyl transferase (GTB) that adds galactose to this hydroxyl group. The genetic basis of the ABO histo-blood group system was discovered in the 1990s, when the genes responsible for coding GTA and GTB were identified.5–7 The ABO antigens can be further divided into six subtypes, type I–VI (Table 1).8 The type I–IV and VI antigens are present either as glycoproteins, glycolipids, or as free oligosaccharides in humans.1 After the publication of our synthesis of the ABO type V and VI histo-blood group antigens,9 it came to our attention that the origin of

the nomenclature of the type V and VI antigens was not clear.10 Although a bit tangential to the main goal of this paper, we describe briefly this ambiguity, as a concise description does not appear to be present elsewhere in the literature. The first report of a type VI antigen structure from human sources was achieved in 1956 by Kuhn and co-workers, who isolated the H type VI antigen as the free oligosaccharide in appreciable quantities from human milk.11 Subsequently, a type VI antigen from tissue samples was reported by Briemer and co-workers in 1982.12 This glycolipid, named A-4 by Briemer, contained what was in the future termed the A type VI antigen, linked to ceramide. The origin of the type V antigen proved more difficult to uncover. The first mention of this structure was by Mollicone and co-workers in 1990.8 The authors obtained synthetic samples of the type V and VI antigens from Chembiomed, a now defunct commercial entity, and this is presumably the origin of this nomenclature. To the best of our knowledge, no ABH type V structure has been isolated from a mammalian source. A recent review by Yamamoto on the ABO histo-blood group system makes reference to the type I–IV and type VI antigens, excluding the type V antigen.1 This exclusion of the type V antigen was likely based on the lack of evidence for existence of ABH type V structures in humans. This is surprising because Hakomori and Stellner reported the isolation of a glycolipid from human erythrocytes that contained the type V (b-D-Galp-(1?3)-b-D-Gal) backbone at the terminal end.13 This structure could easily be converted into the H type V antigen using the same fucosyl transferase responsible for the biosynthesis of the H type I–IV antigens present on erythrocytes. Based on this chronology, the nomenclature assignment of the type V and VI antigens should be reversed; however, as the nomenclature is well

established in multiple sources we have adhered to the conventional naming of the type I–VI antigens. The overall goal of our synthetic endeavour is to prepare all known ABO type I–VI histo-blood group antigens. We hope that with all of the antigens in hand, we will be able to conduct a range of studies on the biological importance of these sub-types. An example of such an investigation is quantitatively determining the difference between the A1 and A2 blood groups.  It has been shown that individuals of the A1 subtype have a higher density of A antigen on their erythrocytes than individuals of the A2 subtype.14 Further work by Clausen and co-workers has demonstrated that this difference can be attributed to the fact that GTA1 is able to transfer N-acetyl-galactosamine onto the H type I–IV structures present on erythrocytes, while GTA2 is only able to affect transfer onto the H type I and type II structures.15 These pioneering studies were conducted in a qualitative manner via immunostaining. Access to synthetic samples of these antigens would enable more detailed quantitative kinetics assays to be conducted. Herein we report the synthesis of the ABO type I and II histoblood group antigens (4–9, Fig. 2) attached to an octen-1-yl aglycone. To date, the synthesis of the ABO type I and II antigens has received more interest than the type III–VI structures. The chemical synthesis of all three type I antigens has been reported by Paulsen and Kolárˇ16 as well as by Bovin and co-workers.17,18 The chemoenzymatic synthesis of the A type I and II tetrasaccharides was reported by Palcic and co-workers,19 and more recently Wang and co-workers have developed a chemoenzymatic synthesis of the B type I antigen.20 Interestingly, the latter study did not use the human glycosyltransferases, but rather three enzymes present in Escherichia coli O86, which produces a B type III mimetic in its lipopolysaccharide O-chain. The synthesis of the type II antigens has been more limited, most notably the chemical synthesis of the ABO type II structures was achieved by Paulsen and co-workers21,22 as well as by Bovin and co-workers.23

  The A1 and A2 blood groups should not be confused with the A type I and type II structures. The latter refers to distinct chemical entities while the former refers to subclasses of the A blood type, which are characterized by different densities of the antigen on erythrocytes.

2. Results and discussion To prepare 4–9 we chose a linear chemical synthesis, similar to the strategy employed in our recently reported synthesis of the type V and VI antigens.9 This strategy would enable an expedited synthesis of all three of the type I and II antigens in sufficient quantities for a range of investigations. A block synthesis, such as that reported by Bovin and co-workers,17 would not enable access to the H structures. We chose to employ a 7-octen-1-yl aglycone for two reasons. Firstly, it would enable ready access to the octyl glycoside, via catalytic hydrogenation, for enzyme kinetics studies.24 Secondly, it would enable facile preparation of glycoconjugates. We have demonstrated that a thiol-ene ‘click reaction’25 can be used to introduce a reactive linker that allows direct conjugation of carbohydrates to silica-based surfaces.26 2.1. Synthesis of type I antigens The synthesis of the type I ABO histo-blood group antigens commenced from the known27 and easily prepared trichloroacetimidate donor 10 (Scheme 1). Glycosylation with the 7-octen-1-ol acceptor afforded the 7-octen-1-yl glycoside 11 as a mixture of anomers (a/b, 11:41). In the absence of a C2 participating group, the stereochemical outcome for this glycosylation was dependent on the anomeric configuration of the trichloroacetimidate. To ensure a high ratio of the desired b-anomer, a trichloroacetimidate donor with predominately the a stereochemistry was required. Presumably, the mechanism for the formation of the b-glycoside involves an SN2-type process.28 Introduction of the aglycone in the presence of an azido protecting group was not trivial when compared to other amine protecting groups such as N-phthalimide; however, the azido group can be converted into an amine under milder conditions than the phthalimide. Deacetylation with sodium methoxide, followed by introduction of a benzylidene acetal, enabled isolation of the corresponding b and a glycosides, 13 and 14, respectively, in moderate yield, with the desired b anomer being the predominant product. The 1H NMR spectrum of the a anomer 13 showed an anomeric proton signal appearing at 4.90 ppm as a doublet with a coupling of 3.6 Hz, while the spectrum of the b anomer 14 had an anomeric proton signal at 4.42 ppm as a doublet with a coupling of 8.0 Hz. Introduction of the galactose core residue was achieved by glycosylation of 13 with trichloroacetimidate 15 affording disaccharide 16 (Scheme 2). To facilitate removal of trichloroacetimidate-related impurities, a deacetylation was conducted under Zemplén conditions to afford diol 17 in moderate yield (63%) over two steps. Introduction of the pivaloyl ester selectively at the 30 position of 17 was achieved with complete regioselectivity using trimethylacetyl chloride in pyridine in excellent yield (89%). Next, introduction of the a-L-fucopyranosyl moiety was achieved through the use of b-L-fucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate 19

following the methodology of Schmidt and co-workers.29 Treatment of 18 with trichloroacetimidate 19 under standard glycosylation conditions afforded trisaccharide 20 in good yield (80%) and with excellent stereoselectivity. The anomeric proton of the fucopyranoside of 20 showed an anomeric signal at 5.41 ppm as a doublet with a coupling constant of 1.5 Hz. Removal of the pivaloate ester from 20 required forcing conditions (lithium methoxide in methanol at reflux) and prolonged reaction times (seven days); however, the reaction afforded alcohol 21 in good yield. A similar observation was made in our synthesis of the type V and VI antigens. The decision to continue using this protecting group as op-

posed to others that might be removed more efficiently was based on the fact that the pivaloate ester could be installed and removed in good yield and with minimal by-products.9 Access to the H type I antigen was achieved first by conversion of the azide moiety into an N-acetyl group using thiolacetic acid in pyridine to afford 22 (Scheme 3). Surprisingly, some acetylation of the alcohol in 22 was observed during this reaction. The formation of this by-product was not, however, problematic as Zemplén deacetylation easily converted the O-acetylated compound into 22. Next, global deprotection was achieved using a Birch reduction resulting in the conversion of 22 into 6 in 92% yield. For investiga-

tions involving conjugation of the H type I antigen to a support, the 7-octen-1-yl glycoside 6 was desired; however, other studies, such as the examination of GTA and GTB kinetics, required the octyl glycoside. To this end, catalytic reduction of the alkene moiety of 6 afforded octyl glycoside 23 in 83% yield. Access to the A type I antigen was achieved first by glycosylation of 21 with trichloroacetimidate 24 to afford tetrasaccharide 25 in good (92%) yield (Scheme 4). The stereochemistry of the newly formed glycosidic linkage was confirmed using 1H NMR

spectroscopy; the anomeric proton of the 2-azido-2-deoxy-a-Dgalactopyranoside appeared at 5.88 ppm as a doublet with a coupling of 3.2 Hz. Conversion of the two azides into N-acetyl groups using thiolacetic acid in pyridine afforded 26. Deacetylation under Zemplén conditions afforded 27 and subsequent complete deprotection using dissolving metal reduction afforded 5. Overall, tetrasaccharide 5 was obtained in 69% yield from 25. The B type I antigen could be obtained first by glycosylation of 21 with trichloroacetimidate 28 affording tetrasaccharide 29 in

moderate yield (Scheme 5). Conversion of the azide into an N-acetyl group using thiolacetic acid in pyridine afforded 30, under conditions analogous to those used in the preparation of 22. Other

techniques do exist to convert an azide into an N-acetyl group, and several were explored including a Staudinger reaction followed by acetylation;30 however, none were found to be as

type II antigen 7 with the 7-octen-1-yl glycoside moiety intact. Reduction of part of this material by hydrogenation afforded, in 96% yield, the octyl glycoside 40 for use in enzymatic studies. The B type II antigen was accessed first by treatment of 38 with the trichloroacetimidate donor 28 under standard conditions (Scheme 9). Unfortunately, complete purification of 41 was not possible; therefore, the unequivocal confirmation of the stereochemistry was not possible until after the conversion of 41 into 42 using thiolacetic acid in pyridine. In 1H NMR spectrum of 42, the anomeric signal for the a-galactopyranosyl linkage appeared at 5.36 ppm as a doublet with a coupling constant of 3.6 Hz, as expected for this stereochemistry. Final global deprotection of 42 upon treatment with sodium and liquid ammonia in THF afforded 8 in high yield (96%). Finally, access to the A type II antigen was achieved in an analogous manner to its A type I counterpart (Scheme 10). Glycosylation of 38 with trichloroacetimidate 24 afforded tetrasaccharide 43; subsequent reduction–acetylation of the two azides using thiolacetic acid in pyridine afforded 44. Confirmation of the stereochemistry of the glycosidic linkage was achieved using 1H NMR spectroscopy. The anomeric proton of the newly formed glycosidic linkage appeared as a doublet at 5.09 ppm with a 3.7 Hz coupling constant. Deacetylation of 44 to provide 45 followed by complete deprotection resulted in the preparation of the A type II antigen 9 in excellent yield (88% yield over the two steps).

efficient as the tandem reduction–acetylation process induced by treatment with thiolacetic acid. Final deprotection of 30 using a Birch reduction afforded the B type I antigen 4 in 94% yield. In our synthesis of the type V and VI antigens,9 the yield for deprotection reactions of this type on similar substrates was at times low (60–70%). These lower yields were caused by precipitation of the starting material in liquid ammonia, leading to incomplete removal of the protecting groups. In the course of the synthesis of the targets reported here, we found that increasing the volume of the THF used to dissolve the starting material successfully circumvented this problem. 2.2. Synthesis of type II antigens The type I and II antigens are quite similar in structure. The only difference is that the galactose core residue is linked to the reducing-end GlcNAc moiety by either a b-(1?3) or b-(1?4) linkage in the type I and II antigens, respectively. This led us to exploit the reducing end acceptor 13, which was used in the type I synthesis, and putting it to use in the preparation of the type II antigens (Scheme 6). Protection of 13 using standard benzylation conditions afforded 31 in excellent yield, and then selective ring opening of the benzylidene acetal using trifluoroacetic acid and triethylsilane resulted in formation of the 4-OH derivative 32. Confirmation of the regiochemistry of the ring opening was achieved by acetylation (acetic anhydride and DMAP in pyridine) and observance of a downfield shift of H-4 in the 1H NMR spectrum from 3.63 ppm in 32 to 5.05–4.91 ppm in 33. Next, treatment of glycosyl acceptor 32 with trichloroacetimidate 15 using a TMSOTf promoter system yielded an impure disaccharide 34. Contamination of 34 with trichloroacetimidate-derived by-products necessitated the conversion of diacetate 34 into diol 35 to facilitate purification (Scheme 7). Protection of the 30 position of the galactose core was again achieved using trimethylacetyl chloride in pyridine to yield 36. Glycosylation using the b-L-fucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate 19 afforded the trisaccharide in excellent yield (94%) and with complete stereoselectivity. The anomeric proton of the a-fucopyranoside of 20 showed an anomeric signal at 5.41 ppm as a doublet with a coupling constant of 3.8 Hz, consistent with a stereochemistry. Removal of the pivaloate ester was achieved using refluxing lithium methoxide in methanol; again, forcing conditions were needed, similar to those required to prepare 21. Given the structural similarities between the type I and II antigens, the deprotection strategies would be expected to be analogous and this was indeed the case. The conversion of the azido group in 38 to an N-acetyl functionality using thiolacetic acid afforded 39 in good (88%) yield (Scheme 8). Interestingly, in contrast to the preparation of the type I counterpart 22 (see Scheme 3 above), no acetylation of the alcohol on 39 was observed. Exhaustive deprotection was achieved in an analogous manner to the type I counterpart: Birch reduction of 39 afforded a 75% yield of the H

2.3. NMR analysis of 4–9 With the ABO type I and II antigens 4–9 in hand, we conducted detailed NMR studies to probe if there are any conformational differences between the structures. Unequivocally assigning proton resonances in deprotected oligosaccharides using traditional 1D and 2D techniques is difficult due to spectral overlap. To overcome this problem for the ring protons in 4–9, a gradient-enhanced chemical shift selective filtering (ge-CSSF) technique was used. In particular, 1D-ge-CSSF-TOCSY experiments were carried out to provide coupling constants and to assign chemical shifts.31,32 The use of this experiment enables the straightforward analysis of the 1H NMR spectra of each ring individually. In addition to analyzing any differences between the type I and II structures, the measurement of 1D-ge-CSSF-TOCSY enabled complete assignment of all 1H NMR chemical shifts for 4–9. The main limitation of this approach is that signal transfer throughout each ring is dependent on the size of the coupling constants. In the case of both galactose and fucose, when a ring is irradiated at H1, signal transfer from H3 to H4 is significantly reduced (due to 3JH3,H4 <3.5 Hz), and transfer to H5 and H6 does not occur. In most cases this problem could be circumvented by irradiation of the H5 or H6 resonance and then allowing the magnetization to transfer the opposite way around the spin system. The chemical shift data from these studies are shown in Table 2, and the associated coupling constants are shown in Table 3. The

residue assignments are shown in Figure 3. In all cases only the coupling constants for the ring protons were analysed. A signal is referred to as a multiplet only in instances where the coupling constant could not be determined, either due to second-order coupling or where inadequate signal transfer in the 1D-ge-CSSF-TOCSY (outlined above) resulted in individual proton resonances not being able to be identified. In cases where insufficient information was obtained using 1D-ge-CSSF-TOCSY, additional techniques such as 1 H–1H COSY, HSQC and HMBC were employed to aid in the identification of proton resonances. Not surprisingly, the NMR spectra of

all six structures showed significant similarity; little deviation was observed between the spectra of any of the compounds with respect to both chemical shift (Table 2) and coupling constants (Table 3). 2.4. Conclusions In summary, we report the linear syntheses of the A, B and H type I and II histo-blood group antigens (4–9) attached to either a 7-octen-1-yl or an octyl aglycone. Key to the synthesis was the

preparation of the two reducing-end disaccharides 13 and 32, which served as the core upon which the rest of the structures were built. In addition, approaches developed in the synthesis of the type V and VI antigen synthesis9 were adapted to the synthesis of the type I and II antigens. Use of these methods enabled the targets to be obtained with a high level of efficiency. Most notably, the preparation of the 7-octen-1-yl b-D-glucopyranoside 11 was efficiently prepared without anchimeric assistance. In addition, the installation of the a-L-fucopyranosyl linkage was entirely stereoselective, taking advantage of the excellent stereoselectivity of the trichloroacetimidate methodology.29 An NMR study was conducted on each of the type I and II ABO antigens (4–9). Based upon the chemical shift and coupling constant data, it was clear that the reducing-end residue has little to no impact on the conformation of the canonical di- and trisaccharide blood group antigens at the non-reducing end of the molecule. 3. Experimental

performed on Silica Gel 60 (40–60 lm). Iatrobeads refer to a beaded silica gel 6RS-8060, which is manufactured by Iatron Laboratories (Tokyo). C18 silica gel (35–70 lm) was manufactured by Toronto Research Chemicals. Optical rotations were measured at 22 ± 2 °C and are in units of deg dm1 cm3 g1; in all cases the concentrations are in the units g/100 mL. 1H NMR spectra were recorded at 400 and 500 MHz, and chemical shifts were referenced to the peak for TMS (0.0 ppm, CDCl3) or CD3OD (3.30 ppm, CD3OD). For final compounds, analysis was conducted using 1D-ge-CSSFTOCSY31,32 at 600 MHz, to identify individual proton resonances. Samples for 1D-ge-CSSF-TOCSY experiments were prepared in CD3OD at a concentration of 21 mg/mL, and the experiments were carried out at 300 K. 13C NMR (APT) spectra were recorded at 125 or 100 MHz, and 13C chemical shifts were referenced to the peak for internal CDCl3 (77.1 ppm, CDCl3) or CD3OD (49.0, CD3OD). All spectra were recorded in CDCl3 unless specified otherwise. Melting points were measured using a Perkin–Elmer Thermal Analysis. Electrospray-ionization mass spectra were recorded on samples suspended in mixtures of THF with CH3OH and added NaCl.

Reaction solvents were purchased and were used without purification; dry solvents were purified by successive passage through columns of alumina and copper under nitrogen. All reactions were carried out at room temperature under a positive pressure of argon, unless otherwise stated. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was performed on E. Merck Silica Gel 60 F254 aluminium-backed plates that were stained by heating (>200 °C) with either p-anisaldehyde in 5% sulfuric acid in EtOH or 10% ammonium molybdate in 10% sulfuric acid.

3.5. 7-Octen-1-yl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-4-O-(2-O-(a-Lfucopyranosyl)-b-D-galactopyranosyl)-b-D-glucopyranoside (7) Redistilled liquid ammonia (20 mL) was collected in a flask cooled to (78 °C) and treated with sodium until the blue colour persisted. A solution of trisaccharide 39 (185 mg, 0.157 mmol) in THF (4 mL) and CH3OH (38 lL, 0.94 mmol) was added dropwise, and the mixture was stirred (78 °C, 1 h).
