Source of materialStarting materials and solvents for synthesis were purchased commercially,e xceptf or N-acetylneuraminica cid( Neu5Ac) methyl ester methyl ketoside, which was prepared according to reference [6]. Amixture of Neu5Ac methyl ester methyl ketoside (6.0 g) and p-toluene-sulfonicacid(0.15 g, pH =1.0)indry anhydrousa cetone (100 mL)w as stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, then neutralized with TEA to pH =6-7. Thesolution was evaporated to dryness. The solid was triturated and washedwith ether, then purified by chromatography (CH 2 Cl 2 :CH 3 OH :TEA =95:5:0.1)toaffordthe productinthe yieldof62.5% as awhite powder. Colourless crystals were obtained by slow evaperation from the methanol solution containing the product.
ExperimentaldetailsAll Hatoms on Catoms were generated geometrically andrefined as riding atomswith d(C-H) =0.96-0.98 Å, and U iso (H) =1.2 U eq (C) for Catoms of CH 2 and CH groups and U iso (H) =1.5 U eq (C) for Catoms of CH 3 groups. This is also true for the hydrogen atom of hydroxyl groups. Theh ydrogen atom of N1 atom has been added on the basis of the Qpeak, the bond H-N has beenconstrained with 'dfix' command in adistance of 0.82 Å, with deviation 0.01. In addition, the 'PART' command has been usedtodeal the disorder of O9 atom.
DiscussionSialic acids, as the most familiar terminal monosaccharides of glycoconjugates, are attached to glycoproteins and glycolipids in the membrane of living cells. One of the most interesting properties of sialic acid is its structural diversity, and over 40 kinds of derivatives of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) arek nown [1,2]. It has been well known that these derivatives of N-acetylneuraminic acid must play an improtant part in various biological processes [3].Inrecentyears,N-acetylneuraminicacid as anti-influenzadrugs andasadetection regent of influenzavirushas attracted much attention [4,5]. Herein, 8,9-O-isopropylidineNeu5Ac-methylester-methylketoside, as ad erivative of sialic acid has been synthesized, and its crystal structure has been described.Theu nitc ello ft hisc ompoundc ontainsf our8 ,9-Oisopropylidine Neu5Ac methyl estermethylketosidemolecules. In this molecular structure, there are afive number 1,3-dioxolane ring and asix number pyran cycle. In the crystal structure, there are intramolecular hydrogen bonds between O7 and O6 with the distance O7×××O6 of 2.753(3) Åa nd the angles N1-H99×××O4 being 149.7°. In addition, there are intermolecular hydrogen bonds between N1 and O7 (symmetry code: x, y-1, z) with the distance N1×××O7 of 2.847(3) Åa nd the angles N1-H99×××Obeing 163.0°, as well as the hydrogen bonds between O5 and O6 (symmetry code: -x+1/2, y-1/2, -z+1) with the distance O5-H5×××O6 of 2.862(3) Åand the angles N1-H99×××O7 being 154.1°, which interlink molecules to form a1Dsupramo-lecular structure.
