SYNTHESIS OF TWO PURPLE-MEMBRANE GLYCOLIPIDS AND THE GLYCOLIPID SULFATE O-(β-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYL 3-SULFATE)-(1->6)-O-α-D-MANNOPYRANOSYL-(1->2)-O-α-D-GLUCOPYRANOSYL-(1->1)-2,3-DI-O-PHYTANYL-sn-GLYCEROL

The two purple-membrane glycolipids O-β-D-glucopyranosyl- and O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->6)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1->2)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->1)-2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol were prepared by coupling O-(2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl)-(1->2)-O-(3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1->1)-2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol (9) with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide or 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl bromide, respectively, followed by deacetylation.The glycolipid sulfate O-(β-D-glucopyranosyl 3-sulfate)-(1->6)-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1->2)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->1)-2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerol was prepared by coupling of 9 with 2,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-3-O-trichloroethyloxycarbonyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide in the presence of Hg(CN)2/HgBr2 followed by selective removal of the 3"'-trichloroethyloxycarbonyl group, sulfation of HO-3"', and deacetylation.The suitably protected key-intermediate 9 could be prepared by two distinct approaches.

SYNTHESIS OF 2,3-DI-O-PHYTANYL-1-O-6)-MANNOSYL-α(1->2)-GLUCOSYL-α(1->1)>-SN-GLYCEROL. PURPLE MEMBRANE GLYCOLIPIDS

A convenient approach to the synthesis of triglycosyl-2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerols will be presented.Special attention will be paid to the use of the following protective groups in carbohydrate chemistry: the 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, the 1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl and the o-dibromomethyl benzoyl group.

Characterization and synthesis of mono- and diphytanyl ethers of glycerol.

The methanolyzed lipids of the extreme halophile, Halobacterium cutirubrum, were separated into glycerol diether and glycerol monoether fractions. The diether was shown by synthesis to be 2,3-di-O-(3'R,7'R,11'R,15'-tetramethylhexadecyl)-sn-glycerol. The monoether fraction was separated by thin-layer chromatography on boric acid-impregnated silicic acid into about equal amounts of alpha- and -isomers. The alpha-isomer was found to be identical with the synthetic 3-O-(3'R,7'R,11'R,15'-tetramethylhexadecyl)-sn-glycerol, and the -isomer was identical with the synthetic 2-O-(3'R,7'R,11'R,15'-tetramethylhexadecyl) glycerol.
