✦ Synopsis


Appropriate solvolysis of 2,3,2',3'-tetra-O-benzyl-4,6,4',6'-tetra-O-mesyla,a-trehalose gave 2,3,2',3'-tetra-O-benzyl-(a-D-galactopyranosyl a-D-galactopyranoside) (2). Selective tosylation or mesylation of 2 respectively gave the 6,6'ditosylate (3) and 6,6'-dimesylate (4), the structures of which were confirmed by the 'H-n.m.r. spectra of the corresponding 4,4'-di-0-acetyl derivatives. Treatment of 3 with potassium mycolate in toluene, and subsequent hydrogenolysis, gave the 6'-mycolate 6-tosylate derivative. Treatment of 3 with potassium mycolate or potassium corynomycolate in hexamethylphosphoric triamide, followed by catalytic hydrogenolysis, yielded the respective cord-factor analogs 6,6'-di-O-mycoloyl-(cr-Dgalactopyranosyl a-D-galactopyranoside) and 6,6'-di-0-corynomycoloyl-((Y-Dgalactopyranosyl a-D-galactopyranoside).

The same 6,6'-diesters were obtained from the 6,6'-dimesylate 4. Putative 4,6-anhydro-6'-monomycolates are also described.

We now describe the synthesis, from a,a-trehalose, of a suitably blocked cu-D-galactopyranosyl cu-D-galactopyranoside derivative, and its conversion into *Visiting scientist from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Rehovot, Israel.
