Recent years have seen a remarkable surge of interest in the study of U-Lfucosyltransferases. Of these L-fucosyltransferases, the enzyme (143)~a+fucosyltransferase has attracted a great deal of clinical interest as a potential tumor marker. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of an L-fucosyl group f

✦ Synopsis
The glycosphingolipids isolated from spermatozoa of a fresh-water bivalve, Hyriopsis schlegelii, have a unique structure containing one or two mannosyl residues, novel linkages including an internal fucopyranosyl residue, as well as terminal xylosyl and 4-O-methyl-D-glucopyranosyluronic acid groups. The trisaccharide derivatives that constitute the partial structure of lipid IV were synthesized as follows. Condensation of 4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-3-0methyl-cY-D-galactopyranosyl bromide with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 4-O-acetyl-2-0benzyl-/3-L-fucopyranoside, in the presence of mercuric cyanide and mercuric bromide, gave the corresponding disaccharide in 87% yield. Condensation of methyl (2,3-di-O-acetyl-4-O-methyl-cu-D-glucopyranosyl bromide)uronate with the appropriate OH-Cfree disaccharide derivative afforded the corresponding precursor of 4-O-Me-&D-GlcpA-(1~4)-[3-O-Me-a-D-GalpNAc-(l~3)]-L-Fuc, namely 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2-0-benzyl-3-0-(4,6-di-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-3-0-methyl-a-D-galactopyranosyll-4-0-[methyl (2,3-di-O-acctyl-4-O-methyl-P-Dglucopyranosyl)uronate]-/3-r_-fucopyranoside.
