The present paper describes the synthesis and use of the hydrophobic squaric decyl ester glycosides in neoglycoconjugate chemistry. The 2-aminoethyl glycosides of alpha-D-mannopyranose, lactose, globotriose, globotetraose, GM3, and sialyl Lewis(x), as well as the 2-(2-aminoethylthio)ethyl glycoside of alpha-D-mannopyranose, beta-D-glucopyranose, and galabiose were reacted with squaric acid didecyl ester to afford the hydrophobic squaric decyl ester glycosides. These glycosides were efficient reagents for the conjugation to amino-functional microtiter plates, BSA and aminated Sepharose EAH 4B. The decyl ester moiety of the squaric decyl ester glycosides constitutes a traceless hydrophobic tag, which has the major advantage, as compared to the corresponding ethyl esters, that it enables easy purification of the glycosides with silica chromatography and that unreacted excesses glycosides from conjugation reaction mixtures can easily be recovered by means of C18 solid phase extraction.
A carbohydrate-derived optically active P-chiral dioxophenylphospholane-borane complex, C(27)H(32)BO(6)P, was prepared from bis(diethylamino)phenylphosphine and methyl 2,6-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside. The phosphinite was prepared with high diastereoselectivity and in good yield. The absolute configuration (R) at the P atom was deduced from the known configuration of the sugar moiety. Weak intermolecular interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
