✦ Synopsis
Attempted dephthalimidation of the trisaccharide 1-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl- 2,6-di-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl )-alpha-D-mannopyranose (1) and its derivatives 2 and 3, as well as the disaccharide 1-O-acetyl-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-2-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl- 2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-alpha-D-mannopyranose (13), with hydrazine hydrate in ethanol at 80 degrees C, produced the trisaccharide-6-O-(2-acetamido-3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-beta-D- glucopyranosyl)-3,4-di-O-benzyl-beta-D-mannopyranose-3',4',6'-tri-O-a cet yl- beta-D-glucopyranose 1,2'-N:1',2-O-dianhydride (4) and 3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl-beta-D-mannopyranose 3',4',6'-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranose 1,2'-N:1',2-O-dianhydride (14), respectively, containing an intramolecular NH-glycosidic linkage. The conventional deblocking of compounds 4 and 14 gave the completely deblocked trisaccharide 6-O-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-mannopyranose beta-D-glucopyranose 1,2'-N:1',2-O-dianhydride (6) and the disaccharide beta-D-mannopyranose beta-D-glucopyranose 1,2'-N:1',2-O-dianhydride (16), respectively, containing an intact intramolecular NH-glycosidic bond. The unusual intra NH-glycosyl character makes the linkage rigid, and therefore these compounds should not only be useful for NMR studies but also as substrates or inhibitors of GlcNAc-transferases.
