โฆ Synopsis
Trideuteriomethylated and methylated derivatives of the capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli K57 were partially cleaved by Et3SiH, using Me3SiOSO2Me and Me3SiOSOeCF 3 as catalysts, to produce oligosaccharide-anhydroalditols. The structures of the trideuteriomethylated trisaccharide-and tetrasaccharide-anhydroalditols isolated were established by FABMS and NMR spectroscopy. Although conditions for the selective production of the tetrasaccharideanhydroalditol could not be established, oligosaccharide-anhydroalditols were isolated in sufficiently high yield to make this an attractive approach for the structural elucidation of the repeating units of bacterial polysaccharides.
