Abstract

The methyl ester of N‐acetylneuraminic acid β‐methyl ketoside (Neu5Ac1Me‐2β‐Me) (1) is used as common starting material for the synthesis of the title compounds. Combined derivatization reactions with reagents thiophosgene, p‐cresol, benzoyl chloride, and acetic anhydride/pyridine lead to the thiocarbonate derivatives 2, 6–8, and 12. Further transformation with iodomethane yields the 9‐iodo compounds 3, 9, and 13, which are reduced by tributyltin hydride to the deoxy derivatives 4, 10, and 14. Hydrolysis of 14, 10, and 4 affords the desired 9‐deoxy, 7,9‐dideoxy‐, and 4,7,9‐trideoxy‐N‐acetylneuraminic acids 15 (9‐d‐Neu5Ac), 11 (7,9‐d~2~‐Neu5Ac), and 5 (4,7,9‐d~3~‐Neu5Ac), respectively. — The sialic acid analogues 11 and 5 were activated by CMP‐sialate synthase [E,C.2.7.7.43] to an extent of 30–40 and 50–60%, respectively, relative to N‐acetylneuraminic acid.

To gain more insight into the structure-activity relationship of the enzymes of sialic acid metabolism we recently prepared a series of sialic acid analogues2-4 and determined their surface profiles 5,6. For CMP-sialate synthase to recognize its substrate, we found that the three hydrophilic functio
