As a result of recent studies on the biochemistry of oligosaccharides present at cell surfaces, many of them have been found to have branchedchain structures’ and to be linked to asparagine; and these may be classified into two types. For example, ollgosaccharide 1 (which was isolated from immnnoglobulin glycopeptide’) and o_hgosaccharide 2 (which was isolated from calf thyroglobnlin3 ) may respectively be classified as an N-acetyllactosamine type, or type A, and an oligo-D-mannosidic type, or type B, of oligosacchaCT-SA.-(2--6l-#l-Gal-(1--4)-p-GlcNAc-(1-2)_Cr-Man 1

ride4. Not only their biological functions’ but also their unique, branched-chain structures have stimulated efforts directed toward their chemical synthesis6 . As part of a project on the chemical transformation of carbohydrates through trialkylstannyiation, we report here a synthesis of core pentasaccharides, both of type A (22) and type B (17). The reaction of tributyitin a&oxide’ (4) with 2,3,4,6-tetra_O-acetyi-a-D -mannopyranosyi bromide (3) was reported’ to afford a high yield of orthoester 5. Moreover, a regioseiective enhancement of the nucieophilicity of the hydroxyi groups of methyl Or-Dmannopyranoside (6) by tributyistannyiation and subsequent treatment with such eiectrophilic reagents as an acyl halide9 or an alkyl halideI was reported to give a high yieici of methyl 3,6diGsubstituted a-D -mannopyranoside (7). Consequently, if a giycosyi halide such as 9 is used as an eiectrophik reagent, instead of a simple alkyl halide, for the reaction with 6, a re$ocontrolled introduction of two D-mannosyi residues might be expected to occur at O-3 and O-6, via orthoesters.

The (r stereochemistry was assigned to the two newly introduced D-mannosidic linkages in 13 by measuring the r3C-n.m.r. data (Da 0 ) for methyl 3,6-d&O-o-D-mannopyranosyla-D-mannopyranoside (14) {[o]D +96.7’ (c 0.45, MeOH);RF 02 (1:3:1 CHCLMeOH-cont.

Reaction of 13 with 9 in the presence of silver triflate and tetramethyIurea14 in dichloromethane under N2 afforded a 78.8% yield of the protected penta-D-mannoside 15 { [o]D +34.7’ (c 0.5 1, CHCls); RF 0.67 (4: 1 toluene-ethyl acetate) ).

The key intermediate 13 could also be transformed into the core saccharide 22 (a type A oligosaccharide). Thus, the reaction of 3,4,6-t&U-acetyl-2deoxy-2-phthalimido@-D-ghrcopyranosyl chloride’* (18) with 13 in the pres ence of silver triflate and s-collidine in nitromethane afforded a 43.7% yield of protected pentasaccharide 19 {[o]D f12.0’ (c 0.59, CHCIJ);RF 0.4 (2: 1 toluene-ethyl acetate) 3. Treatment of 19 with boiling ethanolic hydrazine hydrate” under reflux-in an atmosphere of argon afforded 20. Acetylation of 20 with acetic anhydride in methanol gave a 45.8% yield of the IV-acetylated pentasaccharide 21 {[a] D +21.3O (c 0.47, CH&); RF 0.43 (4: 1) CHCls-MeOH)) . Hydrogenolysis of 21 in the presence of 10% Pd-C in aq. ethanol afforded methyl 3,6di-O[2-0(2-acetamido-2deoxyPD-glucopyranosyl)-or-D-mumopyranosyl] -a-D-mannopyranoside (22) {[a] D i-44.2” (c 0.5 1, MeOH); RF 0.27 (4: 1 MeOH-conc. NH.J OH)) The assigned stereochemistry was confirmed by the following ‘3C-n.m.r. data (DaO): 6 97.5 (‘fa 169.9 Hz, C-la), 100.4 (‘J CD 160.0 Hz, C-1c and C-ld), 100.4 (‘Ja 168.0 Hz, C-lb), and 101.8 (‘JCH 172.9 Hz, C-l) (see Fig. 3). In conclusion, regiocontrolled activation of the hydroxyl groups of methyl a-Drnannopyranoside through tributylstannylation was successfully applied to the synthesis of the core pentasaccharides of glycoproteins.
