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.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa belongs to the group of three "critical priority" multi-drug-resistant pathogens listed by WHO and is responsible for severe and often deadly infections such as bloodstream infections and pneumonia. Staphylococcus aureus is also a "high priority" pathogen which is a major cause of serious nosocomial infections such as bacteremia, sepsis, and endocarditis. Owing to their ability to adapt resistance to almost any antibiotics, vaccines against these pathogens are urgently required. These pathogens express structurally unique and densely functionalized glycans on their surfaces which are absent on the host cells. Such carbohydrate antigens are valuable targets for the development of glycoconjugate vaccines and diagnostics. Here, we report the first total synthesis of the conjugation-ready trisaccharide repeating unit of Pseudomonas aeruginosa O11 via a highly stereoselective and efficient assembly of a rare l-fucosamine- A nd d-fucosamine-containing 1,2-cis-linked disaccharide motif and its regioselective glycosylation at O3. A systematic study was conducted for the notoriously difficult glycosylation with the most unreactive axial 4-OH of the rare disaccharide, and the successful outcome was utilized to accomplish the total synthesis of an aminopropyl linker-attached trisaccharide repeating unit of Staphylococcus aureus capsular polysaccharide type 5, which is also a potential antigen for immunotherapy and vaccine development. The judicious selection of protecting groups and reaction conditions allowed the stereoselective assembly and selective functional group interconversions to access the structurally complex linker-attached trisaccharide repeating units, which are valuable tools for immunological evaluation and vaccine development. The strategy is useful for the synthesis of other structurally related complex glycans.
Tandem catalysis for a one-pot regioselective protection of carbohydrates: The example of glucose

(Chemical Equation Presented) Fine-tuning the conditions for a tandem reaction using a single catalyst in a single reaction vessel leads to carbohydrate building blocks displaying different patterns of protecting groups (see picture). This process greatly simplifies the access to oligomers, as illustrated by the rapid assembly of a trisaccharide.

The 6-O-mesyl derivative of phenyl 1-thio-beta-D-glucopyranoside was prepared from D-glucose as a synthetic equivalent of a 6-deoxy-hexosyl donor. Racemic methyl 11-hydroxytetradecanoate (methyl convolvulinolate) was synthesized by Grignard reaction of propylmagnesium bromide with 10-undecenal followed by hydroboration. Both intermediates were coupled by NIS-TfOH-promoted glycosidation to give a mixture of two diasteromeric glucopyranosides, which were separated on a preparative scale by medium pressure chromatography. One of the products was identified as having the natural (S)-configuration by comparison of its 1H NMR spectrum with an authentic sample prepared from the corresponding chiral hydroxyfatty acid.
