The chemical synthesis of β-D-GalpNAc-(1→4)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-α-D-Galp-(1→O)-(CH2)5NH2 is described. This structure represents the nonfucosylated backbone trisaccharide of the glycocalyx glycan of the cercarial stage of the parasite Schistosoma mansoni. Synthesis of the trisaccharide was achieved via a stepwise coupling approach. 5-Azidopentyl 4-O-acetyl-2,6-di-O-benzyl-α-D-galactopyranoside was condensed with ethyl 6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-3,4-di-O-dimethylisopropylsilyl-2-phthalimido- 1-thio-β-D-glucopyranoside, using N-iodosuccinimide and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst system, followed by the removal of the silyl ether groups to afford a disaccharide acceptor. Coupling of ethyl 4,6-di-O-acetyl-3-O-allyloxycarbonyl-2-deoxy-2- phthalimido-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside to the disaccharide acceptor, using methylsulfenyl bromide and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate as a catalyst system, gave a protected trisaccharide. Deprotection of this compound yielded the target structure.

The synthesis of hexasaccharide 1, [galβ(1-4)GlcNAc[6OSO3]β(1-3)Galβ(1-4)GlcNAcβ(1-3)Galβ(1-3)GalNA cα-O(CH2)3NH2], which corresponds to a porcine zona pellucida fragment that inhibits porcine sperm-oocyte interaction, is described. Compound 1 was obtained from fully protected hexasaccharide 2, which was in turn constructed from protected Galβ(1-3)GalNAc disaccharide 5, containing an α-linked 3-azidopropyl spacer, and from lactosamine derivatives 3 and 4. Disaccharide 3 and 4 were prepared by coupling of selenophenyl glycoside 6 with glycosyl acceptors containing anomeric thioethyl groups. NIS/TfOH promoted coupling of disaccharide 4 with 5 afforded 29, which was transformed into the tetrasaccharide acceptor 30 by selective removal of the levulinoyl group. Glycosylation of 30 with 3 afforded protected hexasaccharide 2. Removal of the phthalimido groups, acetylation, followed by selective removal of the allyl group and sulphation, and finally complete deprotection afforded hexasaccharide 1.
