A total synthesis of echinodermatous ganglioside LLG-3 with neuritogenic activity was accomplished by a convergent strategy. The synthesis of 2-hydroxyethyl 8-O-Me-α-sialoside 2 was started from the phenyl 7,8-di-O-Pico-thiosialoside 5, which can be chemoselectively removed the picoloyl group, and then the methyl group in 8-O-MeNeu5Ac moiety was chemoselectively prepared using TMSCHN2/FeCl3. For preparation of the terminal disialic unit, oxidative amidation was initially utilized by our group to efficiently construct the α(2,11) linkage of 8-O-Me-Neu5Acα(2,11)Neu5Gc. Herein, we also demonstrate that the synthesized ganglioside LLG-3 exhibited the neuritogenic activity toward the primary cortical neurons and that biological activity is superior to that of ganglioside DSG-A.

1,2-Metallate rearrangements involving reaction of 1-metallated glycals with organolithium reagents under copper(I) mediation give alkenylpolyol chains in 45-91% yield (19 examples). The reaction was applied to a formal synthesis of KRN7000 as well as a synthesis of a 5,6-ceramide derivative. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.
