Abstract: This paper describes our recent study of glycosyl phosphites for glycosylation reactions, with particular
emphasis on the investigation of protecting group and stereochemistry effects on the anomeric reactivity and
stereoselectivity, and the application of this methodology to the synthesis of Lewis X (Lex), Lewis Y (Ley),
glycopeptides, and sialyl Lewis X (SLex) mimetics. Both R-O-fucosyl-L-threonine and R-O-fucosyl-(1R,2R)-2-
aminocyclohexanol were found to be effective templates for the chemical/enzymatic synthesis of SLex mimetics,
and some fucopeptides prepared were 5-10 times more active than SLex as inhibitors of E-selectin.
Introduction
Chart 1. Structure of Glycosyl Phosphites 1-3
Since the introduction of sialyl phosphites as glycosylation
reagents,1,2 the glycosyl phosphite method has been extended
to various glycosylation reactions using monosaccharides3,4 and
disaccharides as donor substrates, and both the mechanism and
alternative Lewis acids have been investigated.3,5 In these
glycosylation reactions, dibenzyl per-O-acetylglycosyl phos-
phites are generally less reactive than the corresponding per-
O-benzylglycosyl phosphites, a trend similar to that observed
with the use of other glycosylation reagents.6 The anomeric
stereoselectivity of glycosyl phosphites in certain cases is,
however, different from that of other glycosylation reagents.
For example, â-O-glycosides are often selectively obtained using
2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-D-glycosyl phosphite 1a, 1b, or 3,5a
whereas R-O-glycosides are selectively obtained using 2,3,4-
tri-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-L-galactopyranosyl (L-fucopyranosyl) phos-
phite 2 (Chart 1). In order to further evaluate the utility of this
new glycosylation reaction, we have studied the effects of
protecting group and stereochemistry on the glycosylation of
glycosyl phosphites using a limited number of examples,
including the use of 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene as a weak nu-
cleophile in C-glycosylation reactions7 and other oxygen species
in O-glycosylations. A major effort was then directed toward
the use of glycosyl phosphites in the synthesis of bioactive
O-glycosides, especially O-fucosides.
Many naturally occurring glycoconjugates contain an R-fu-
cosidic linkage at the nonreducing end and are involved in
important intercellular recognition processes. Lewis X (Lex)
trisaccharide 4, Lewis Y (Ley) tetrasaccharide 5,8 and sialyl Lex
(SLex), as shown in Chart 2, for example, are often expressed
on the surface of a variety of tumor cells9 and have emerged as
new targets for drug discovery. The monoclonal antibody
against Ley has been shown to be potentially useful for the

as a new anti-inflammatory agent.14,15a
Although SLex can be prepared on large scales15a and
currently is being used in clinical trials for the treatment of
reperfusion injury and heart attack, it can only be used as an
injectable form because it is orally inactive and unstable. As
the free and bound conformations15 of SLex, the X-ray structure
of the human E-selectin,16 and the functional groups of SLex
required for E-selectin interaction17 are known, current efforts
of our group and others have been directed toward the design
and synthesis of less complex structures which mimic the active
conformation of SLex.18 Our strategy described in this paper
is to develop novel fucopeptides as SLex mimetics. We chose

first prepared both the R- and â-anomers of dibenzyl 2,3,4-tri-

and examined their C-glycosylation reaction19 with the weak

0.5 equiv of trimethylsilyl triflate (TMSOTf). Also, the 6-O-

11 and 12 and 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-L-fucosyl phosphite 2 were
prepared and examined under the same conditions. The results
are summarized in Table 1.

2). In the O-glycosylation reactions, glycosyl phosphites can
be activated by TMSOTf, or preferentially by trifluoromethane-
sulfonic acid (TfOH) generated from the reaction of TMSOTf
with the acceptor hydroxyl group.3 In the C-glycosylation
reactions at -15 or -78 °C, however, TMSOTf activates
glycosyl phosphites instead of TMB as no reaction between
TMSOTf and TMB has been observed.
While both 8 and 9 gave the corresponding â-C-galactoside
15 at -15 °C as described above, an R- and â-mixture (1:1) of
glucosyl phosphite 104e gave only the R-orthoester 20,3 and even
a trace amount of C-glucoside 21 was not obtained. Perhaps
20 is relatively more stable for activation, and/or the axial group
of 8, 9, or 14 also participates in the anomeric activation.
Indeed, it was observed that the glucose type orthoester 20 was
more stable than the galactose type 14 for activation.
To further investigate the effect of the 6-O-protecting group
of galactosyl phosphite on the C-glycosylation reaction, the 6-O-
(tert-butyldiphenylsilyl) derivative 11 (R:â ) 62:38) and the
6-O-benzyl derivative 12 (R:â ) 76:24) were subjected to the
same reaction conditions as those for 8 and 9. It was found
that both reacted faster to give the corresponding â-C-glycosides
22 and 23 in 52% and 77% yields, respectively, and only trace
amounts of the corresponding R-orthoesters were observed. It
appears that, in the case of R-phosphites, the ones with a 6-ether
type of protecting group are more reactive than those with an
ester type of protecting group due to the electronic effect, and
the 6-ester derivatives are more reactive than the 6-deoxy
derivatives due to the 6-acyl participation in the anomeric
activation. This is further supported by the observation that
no reaction was observed when 6 was treated with TMB at -78
or -15 °C in the presence of TMSOTf (0.2 equiv). In the case
When the reaction was carried out at -78 °C, â-fucosyl
phosphite 7 gave the expected C-fucoside 13,3 but no reaction
was observed for R-fucosyl phosphite 6 either at this temperature
or at -15 °C. However, both R- and â-galactosyl phosphites
8 and 9 gave the R-orthoester 14 as the sole product at -78
°C, and a mixture of 14 and â-C-galactoside 15 was obtained
at -15 °C. As expected, â-glycosyl phosphites are more
reactive than the R-isomers. The 6-ester group of R-galactosyl
phosphite perhaps participates in the activation process through
the formation of 18 and 19, as the corresponding 6-deoxy
enantiomer 6 is inactive at -78 °C. In an analogous case, the
reaction of 6-acetamido-2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-D-glucopy-
ranose (16) with thionyl chloride gave compound 17 (Scheme
1).20 It was indeed shown in our previous study that both
orthoester 14 and the intermediate 19 react at -78 °C with an
oxygen nucleophile in the presence of TMSOTf.3 When the
weak nucleophile TMB was used at -78 °C, the only product
was 14, which was isolated and in reaction with TMB and
TMSOTf (cat) at -15 °C gave the â-C-galactoside 15 (Scheme

have been encountered with the use of glycosyl phosphites.
When mannosyl phosphite (with acetyl or benzyl protecting
groups) was used in the C-glycosylation reaction, traces of
unidentified byproducts were formed, but no desired products
were observed probably due to the steric hinderance caused by
the 2-axial group. The O-glycosylations, however, proceeded
smoothly.3 In an attempt to prepare 2-deoxy-2-azidoglycosyl
phosphites, the products were not obtained, probably because
of the reaction between the azido and phosphite groups.
O-Glycosylations and Synthesis of Lex and Ley. With the
appropriate choice of protecting groups to maximize the

the fucosylation of 2621 and other hydroxy derivatives (27-
38) in the presence of TfOH, and the results are shown in Table

of â-phosphites, interestingly, 7 was more reactive than 9 toward
the C-nucleophole, presumably due to the electronic effect.
Compound 6 is, however, as reactive as 7 toward benzyl alcohol
to form the expected â-O-glycoside 24 in 85% yield (Scheme
3). Therefore, the differences in the anomeric reactivity and
selectivity of glycosyl phosphites are more easily detected with
the use of a weaker nucleophile as indicated in the C-
glycosylation reactions. An explanation of the results from the
peracetylated R-phosphite 8 is summarized in Scheme 2.
In order to improve the reactivity of R-fucosyl phosphite in
the C-glycosylation reactions, the ether derivative 2,3,4-tri-O-
benzyl-L-R-fucopyranosyl phosphite (2) was reacted with TMB
under the same conditions, and as expected, the â-C-fucoside
25 was obtained in 68% yield (Scheme 3). Some problems
The fucosylation of 26 with 2 in the presence of 0.05 equiv

as the promoter, a similar result was observed. However, a
lower yield (47%) was obtained when 0.5 equiv of the promoter
was used (Table 3). Using a stoichiometric amount of zinc
chloride as a promoter in the glycosylation reactions gave a

6,3′,6′-tri-O-TBDPS LacNAc derivative 27 by further silylation
with TBDPSCl in CH2Cl2. Double fucosylation of 27 with 2
gave 40, which is equivalent to the Ley tetrasaccharide 5.
a IC50 values were determined in a cell free assay for inhibition of
E-selectin binding to poly-SLex and compared to â-methyl SLex
glycoside (IC50 ) 0.5 mM).
An interesting observation in the O-glycosylation using
R-galactosyl phosphite with a tri-O-acetyl or tri-O-benzyl
protecting group is that only the â-isomer is obtained as a
product. Using the corresponding tri-O-benzylglycosyl chloride
or bromide,6a or trichloroimidate,6d however, gave the R-gly-
coside (in the former case) or a mixture of R- and â-glycosides
(in the latter case). To achieve R-galactosylation using the
phosphite methodology, the 6-acyl participation strategy was
employed with the use of 6-O-acetylgalactosyl phosphite 57 as
the glycosylation reagent. As shown in Scheme 6, the glyco-
sylation reaction gave an 85:15 R/â mixture of the product.
Sialyl Lewis X Mimetics. We then applied the glycosylation
method to the synthesis of fucopeptides as SLex mimetics.
Though the glycosylation of N-acylated â-hydroxy amino acid
derivatives is a useful procedure for the synthesis of O-linked
glycopeptides, this reaction often gives low yields and poor R/â-
selectivity.24 Polt et al. attributed the problem to the decreased
nucleophilicity of the glycosyl acceptors due to a hydrogen-
bonding interaction between the acceptor OH and NH groups.25
A low R-selectivity was also observed in our fucosylation
reaction; however, as shown in Table 2, the R-selectivity in the
O-R-fucosylation of N-acylated â-hydroxy amino acid deriva-
tives 28-3626 is improved when benzyl ester is used as the
very low yield (entry 4). A relatively high yield and high
R-selectivity were, however, observed in the presence of
4f
AgClO4 (entry 5).
As shown in Scheme 4 compound 39 was then subjected to
the selective reduction22 with borane-trimethylamine complex
in the presence of aluminum trichloride to give 52 in 51% yield.
The â-galactosylation of 52 was then carried out with 12 (R:â
) 33:67) to obtain 53 (â > 99%) which is equivalent to the
Lex trisaccharide 4 (Scheme 4).
For the synthesis of Ley tetrasaccharide 5, compound 27 was
prepared for fucosylation according to the procedure shown in
Scheme 5. The â-galactosidase from Bacillus circulans was
used in the 4-O-â-galactosylation of benzyl 2-acetamido-2-
deoxy-R-D-glucopyranoside (54) to give the LacNAc derivative
55 in 59% yield.23 Silylation of 55 with tert-butyldiphenylsilyl
chloride (TBDPSCl) was carried out in DMF to obtain the 6,6′-
di-O-TBDPS LacNAc derivative 56, which was converted to

peptide bonds. Replacement of the Thr component with
(1R,2R)-2-aminocyclohexanol26 resulted in a significant decrease
in activity as shown in 73. However, replacement of the P2
residue with a four-carbon acid provides active mimetics (e.g.,
72 and 74). Compounds 69 and 79 are inactive at 3 mM.
Perhaps the OH groups equivalent to the Gal residue are too
far away from the Fuc residue. It appears that the charge-
charge and multi-hydrogen-bonding interactions between E-
selectin and SLex have to be precisely matched in the mimetic
design. Work is in progress to prepare the next generation of
SLex mimetics with restricted conformation mimicking the
bound structure (Figure 1).

The activities of these fucopeptides were determined and their
IC50 values in inhibiting the SLex glycoconjugate binding to
E-selectin32 are shown in Table 4. According to the results, all
the functional groups required for E-selectin binding in SLex
exist in 65, and as expected it exhibited the same activity as
SLex (IC50 ) 0.5 mM). Compounds 66 and 67 are slightly less
active than SLex, probably due to the presence of a free carboxyl
group in the Thr moiety. Compound 68 is, however, surpris-
ingly active as the OH group of Tyr in 68 is not exactly a mimic
in space of the essential OH groups of the Gal residue in SLex.
Whether the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic group or the
additional amino group contributes to the binding is unclear.
Compounds 70 and 71 are more active than SLex, perhaps due
to the increasing constraint of the hydroxyproline-containing
In summary, we have investigated the effects of protecting
group and stereochemistry6,33 on the C- and O-glycosylation
reactions using glycosyl phosphites. This method is comple-
mentary to other glycosylation methods6,34 and is of general
use35 except that 2-deoxy-2-azido sugars are not applicable and
N-protected 2-amino sugars should be used.3 Some of the sialyl
Lewis X mimetics prepared in this study exihit greater inhibitory
activities than SLex against E-selectin.
(32) The cell free assay was similar to that described in ref 18g except
that a synthetic SLex polymer instead of HL-60 cells was used: Weitz-

General Procedure for O-Fucosylation. A solution of dibenzyl
2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-R-L-fucopyranosyl phosphite (2; 100 mg, 0.13 mmol)
and the acceptor alcohol (26-38, 0.16 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (4 mL) was
stirred for 1 h at room temperature in the presence of molecular sieves
(4 Å, 100 mg). To the mixture was added 1% TfOH in CH2Cl2 solution
(100 µL) at -15 °C. After stirring for 1 h at the same temperature,
Et3N (1 mL) was added to quench the reaction, and the mixture was
diluted with CH2Cl2 (10 mL) and washed with 5% NaHCO3, 5% HCl
and 5% NaHCO3, successively. The organic layer was dried over
MgSO4 and concentrated in Vacuo. The residue was purified by silica
gel column chromatography (hexane/EtOAc) to obtain the desirable
fucosides.
