Abstract: Total chemical synthesis of the linear tetrasaccharide repeating unit β-D-Glc-(1→2)-α-LRha-(1→3)-α-L-Rha-(1→2)-α-L-Rha-CH2CH2NH2 of the O-antigen from Azospirillum brasilense Jm125A2 is accomplished through rational protecting group manipulations of commercially available monosaccharides and stereoselective glycosylations. The target tetrasaccharide in the form of its 2aminoethyl glycoside is obtained in ~24% yield over 10 steps following a linear strategy. The structure is particularly suitable for further glycoconjugate formation through the terminal free amine without hampering the reducing end stereochemistry.

Bacterial O-polysaccharides (OPSs), constituents of the lipopolysaccharides are

located in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. They are responsible for determining and regulating various biological functions of the organism. The Opolysaccharide chains are composed of oligosaccharide repeating units containing Lrhamnose as a major constituent. Owing to their exposure in the outer surface, these Opolysaccharides are responsible for binding with the receptors of the host cells and play a pivotal role in the bacterial adhesion.1 Presence of different sugar residues in their structure provides these O-polysaccharides varied character in the host specific interactions. Various microorganisms use the roots of the crop plants as host for their living and in turn help the plants to grow better due to their adaptation to the soil and climate of the environment of the 1

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT area they inhabit. Increasing interest in aboriginal microorganisms as promising biofertilizers has prompted researchers to elucidate the specific pathway of recognition and attachment of various microorganisms to the host plants.

In the family of Rhodospirillaceae, Azospirillum is a genus initially comprised of two

RI PT

species namely Azospirillum brasilense and Azospirillum lipoferum.2 However, currently the genus Azospirillum includes 16 species, most of which have been found in the rhizosphere of important crops and forage cereals in various climatic zones.3 The lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and the capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) of these organisms are responsible for the

SC

initial association with the host plants.4 Depending on the serological specificity and the structure of the O-polysaccharides (OPSs), strains of A. brasilense and A. lipoferum have been classified into three serogroups.5 The OPSs of serogroups I and III are linear

M AN U

homopolymers of D-rhamnose or branched polysaccharides having an L-rhamnan backbone and side chain glucose residues, respectively. Whereas, in the majority of the strains of serogroup II, two or more structurally different OPSs coexist, and the same OPS structures are shared by serologically heterogeneous strains.6

Recently, Sigida et al.7 reported the structure of the OPS related to the A. brasilense

TE D

Jm125A2 isolated from the rhizosphere of pearl millet (Pennisetum americanum) in the USA.8 The same OPS structure was also previously reported for A. brasilense S17.9 Although discreet fragments have previously been synthesised,10 in this paper for the first time, we have demonstrated a concise strategy for the synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of

the OPS related to A. brasilense Jm125A2 in the form of its 2-aminoethyl glycoside.

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Retrosynthetic analysis indicated that a sequential glycosylation strategy with differentially protected monosaccharides will be the most suitable approach to furnish the target tetrasaccharide 1. The choice of aglycone at the reducing end is always very important to form suitable glyconjugates, for that we have chosen masked aminoethyl glycoside as the linker. Although azidoethyl moiety could have served the purpose, instead 2-

RI PT

(benzyloxycarbonyl)-aminoethyl11 moiety was used as it would be a more general aglycone for any glycoside. Additionally, conversion of 2-(benzyloxycarbonyl)-aminoethyl moiety to free amine does not require any harsh reaction condition.

The total synthesis of the tetrasaccharide began with furnishing the suitability

SC

protected rhamnosyl acceptor. Thus, the known rhamnose derivative 2 was subjected to Zemplén de-O-acetylation12 and the product obtained was directly treated with 2,2-dimethoxy

M AN U

propane in the presence of a catalytic amount of CSA13 to afford the derivative 3 in 91% yield with one free hydroxyl group. The free 4-OH was protected as benzoyl ester using BzCl in pyridine to generate the provisionally protected compound 4 in 94% yield. Further, the isopropylidene ketal was hydrolyzed by 80% AcOH at 80 °C14 to generate the rhamnosyl diol 5 in 85%. Finally, the equatorial 3-OH was selectively protected as benzyl ether by using stannylene chemistry15 to furnish the desired rhamnosyl acceptor 6 in 82% yield.

TE D

The glycosylation between the acceptor 6 and the known donor 716 was accomplished through activation of the thioglycoside using combination of NIS and H2SO4-silica17 to form the desired 1,2-trans disaccharide 8 in 89% yield. The structure of the synthesized

EP

disaccharide was confirmed by the NMR spectroscopy which showed two anomeric protons at δ 4.85 (d, J1,2<1.0 Hz, H-1) and δ 5.14 (d, J1,2=1.5 Hz, H-1′). Moreover the anomeric

AC C

carbon peaks at δ 98.9 (C-1) and δ 98.5 (C-1′) along with the 2D spectra unambiguously established the structure.

Removal of the orthogonal chloroacetate protection at the terminal rhamnosyl moiety

using thiourea in the presence of collidine18 furnished the disaccharide acceptor 9 in 92% yield. Glycosylation of the acceptor 9 with the known rhamnose donor 1019 through similar thioglycoside activation using NIS and H2SO4-silica afforded the desired trisaccharide 11 in 90% yield which was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy showing three anomeric protons at δ 5.22 (d, J1ʺ,2ʺ 1.0 Hz, H-1ʺ), 5.12 (d, J1ʺ,2ʺ 1.5 Hz, H-1′) and 4.82 (d, 1H, J1,2<1.0 Hz, H-1). Respective signals for the anomeric carbons appeared at δ 99.1 (C-1′), 99.0 (C-1) and 98.7 (C-1ʺ). Subsequent removal of the chloroacetate group from the C-2 position of the terminal 3

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT rhamnose moiety using thiourea in the presence of collidine produced the desired trisaccharide acceptor 12 in 87% yield. Attachment of the final glucosyl moiety in 1,2-trans fashion was found to be far more complicated than expected. A number of glucosyl donors were tried but failed to produce the desired tetrasaccharide (Table 1). The glycosylation reactions either resulted in the formation

of the donor hemiacetal or produced complex inseparable mixture.

Finally, the donor V,25 in a NIS, H2SO4-silica promoted glycosylation furnished the

desired protected tetrasaccharide 13 in 82% yield. The proton NMR spectroscopy showed four distinct peaks at δ 4.81 (J1,2<1.0 Hz, H-1), δ 5.12 (J1′,2′<1.0 Hz, H-1′), δ 5.24 (H-1ʺ), and δ 4.70 (H-1‴) which corresponds to the four anomeric protons. The relevant anomeric carbon signals which appeared at δ 99.0 (C-1), δ 98.9 (C-1′), δ 100.4 (C-1ʺ) and δ 101.9 (C-1‴) along with the COSY and HSQC spectra undoubtedly confirmed the structure of the tetrasaccharide with proper configuration of the newly formed glycosidic linkage. Once the fully protected tetrasaccharide is in hand, global de-protection of the tetrasaccharide 15 was initiated with the hydrolysis of the benzylidene acetal using 80% aq. AcOH at 80 °C. Further, Zemplén de-O-acetylation using NaOMe in MeOH followed by hydrogenolysis using Pd-C 5
