Synthesis of a Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Derived from Leishmania donovani That Can Be Functionalized by Cu-Catalyzed Azide–Alkyne Cycloadditions

Abstract: A flexible assembly strategy has been developed for the synthesis of Leishmania donovani GPI anchors that bear a clickable alkyne tag. This strategy is based on the use of the 2-naphthylmethyl (Nap) ethers and levulinoyl (Lev) ester for permanent protection of hydroxyls. Removal of seven Nap ethers by 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone made it possible to prepare GPIs having an alkyne functionality that could be modified by Cu(I)-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloadditions to install tags for imaging studies.

“…It also ensured a minimal number of deprotection steps, using hydroxyl masking groups orthogonal to allyl, trichloroacetamide, and CA. A strategy still barely adopted in oligosaccharide synthesis, although it has met some success in the synthesis of demanding glycolipids bearing unsaturated lipid chains and is the subject of increasing interest, was favored. It involves a panel of protecting groups compatible with acid-mediated removal.…”

“…The synthesis of trilipidated pseudodisaccharide 4 required the synthesis of a modified pseudodisaccharide having an orthogonal group at the 2-O position of inositol. 38 The process started with the glycosylation of inositol 15 ( 38 ) with glycosyl imidate 14 by TMSOTf activation to obtain a pseudodisaccharide. Following deacetylation with sodium methoxide in methanol and etherification with 2-naphthylmethyl bromide delivered the protected pseudodisaccharide 16 in 61% yield over the three steps.…”
