Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen that causes serious nosocomial infections. One of the multidrug-resistant strains, AB5075, can result in bacteremia, pneumonia and wound infections associated with high morbidity and mortality. The structurally unique glycans on the surface of these bacteria are attractive targets for the development of glycoconjugate vaccines. Here, we report the first total synthesis of the densely functionalized trisaccharide repeating unit of A. baumannii AB5075 as well as two analogues. The construction of 1,2-cis linkages between the rare sugars relies on a double-serial inversion strategy. The judicious selection of building blocks and reaction conditions allowed for stereoselective glycosylations, the installation of acetamido groups and the (S)-3-hydroxybutanoyl chain.
Synthesis and structure of linear and cyclic oligomers of 3- hydroxybutanoic acid with specific sequences of (R)- and (S)-configurations

To study the stereoselectivity of enzymatic cleavage of poly(3- hydroxybutyrates) (PHB) in a well-defined system (purified depolymerase and monodisperse substrate of specific relative configuration), linear and cyclic oligomers of HB (OHBs) containing (R)- and (S)-3-hydroxybutanoate residues were synthesized. The starting material (R)-HB was prepared from natural sPHB, and (S)-HB by enantioselective reduction of 3- oxobutanoate with yeast or with H2/Noyori-Taber catalyst (Scheme2). The HB building blocks were then prolected (O-benzyl/tert-butyl ester; Scheme 3) and coupled to give dimers 3, 4, tetramers 5-9, and octamers 10-18; for analytical comparison, a 3mer, 5mer, 6mer, and 7mer (19-22) were also prepared. Two of the tetramers were subjected to macrolactonization conditions (Yamaguchi) to give the cyclic tetramers 23 and 25 and octamers 24 and 26. All new compounds were fully characterized (m.p., [α](D), CD, IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, MS, elemental analysis). Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses were performed with oligolides 24 and 25 (Figs. 2 and 4), and the structures, as well as the crystal packing, were compared with those of analogs containing only (R)-HB units or consisting of 3-amino- instead of 3-hydroxybutanoic-acid moieties.
