Deuterium labelling to extract local stereochemical information by VCD spectroscopy in the C-D stretching region: A case study of sugars

Stereochemical elucidation of molecules with multiple chiral centers is difficult. Even with VCD spectroscopy, excluding all but one diastereomeric structural candidate is challenging because the stereochemical inversion of one chiral center among many centers does not always result in noticeable differences in their VCD spectra. This work demonstrates that the introduction of a suitable VCD chromophore with absorption in the 2300-1900 cm-1 region can be used for extracting local stereochemical information and for the stereochemical assignment of the C-1 position of various sugars as a case study. Through studies on a series of epimeric pairs of monosaccharides and their derivatives, we found that the introduction of one -OCD3 group to each C-1 position produced almost mirror-image VCD patterns in the 2300-1900 cm-1 region depending on the C-1 stereochemistry irrespective of the other molecular moieties. This work also shows that comparison of the observed VCD signals and the calculated ones enables the stereochemical assignment of a chiral center in the vicinity of the chromophore. This study provides a proof of concept that the use of a VCD chromophore in the 2300-1900 cm-1 region enables the analysis of selected stereochemistry of suitable molecular systems. Further studies on this concept should lead to the development of a method useful for the structural elucidation of other types of complex molecules.

Developing a library of mannose-based mono-and disaccharides: A general chemoenzymatic approach to monohydroxylated building blocks

Regioselective deprotection of acetylated mannose-based mono-and disaccharides differently functionalized in anomeric position was achieved by enzymatic hydrolysis. Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) and Bacillus pumilus acetyl xylan esterase (AXE) were immobilized on octyl-Sepharose and glyoxyl-agarose, respectively. The regioselectivity of the biocatalysts was affected by the sugar structure and functionalization in anomeric position. Generally, CRL was able to catalyze regioselective deprotection of acetylated monosaccharides in C6 position. When acetylated disaccharides were used as substrates, AXE exhibited a marked preference for the C2, or C6 position when C2 was involved in the glycosidic bond. By selecting the best enzyme for each substrate in terms of activity and regioselectivity, we prepared a small library of differently monohydroxylated building blocks that could be used as intermediates for the synthesis of mannosylated glycoconjugate vaccines targeting mannose receptors of antigen presenting cells.

Characterization of Protonated Model Disaccharides from Tandem Mass Spectrometry and Chemical Dynamics Simulations

The fragmentation mechanisms of prototypical disaccharides have been studied herein by coupling tandem mass spectrometry (MS) with collisional chemical dynamics simulations. These calculations were performed by explicitly considering the collisions between the protonated sugar and the neutral target gas, which led to an ensemble of trajectories for each system, from which it was possible to obtain reaction products and mechanisms without pre-imposing them. The β-aminoethyl and aminopropyl derivatives of cellobiose, maltose, and gentiobiose were studied to observe differences in both the stereochemistry and the location of the glycosidic linkage. Chemical dynamics simulations of MS/MS and MS/MS/MS were used to suggest some primary and secondary fragmentation mechanisms for some experimentally observed product ions. These simulations provided some new insights into the fundamentals of the unimolecular dissociation of protonated sugars under collisional induced dissociation conditions.

A route to oligosaccharide-appended salicylaldehydes: Useful building blocks for the synthesis of metal-salophen complexes

A simple and general synthetic protocol to obtain oligosaccharide-appended salicylaldehydes, key intermediates for the synthesis of water-soluble metal-salophen complexes, is here reported. Six new aldehydes have been prepared and fully characterized as well as the corresponding zinc- and uranyl-salophen complexes. These new derivatives show very good solubility in water. Preliminary studies on the association of compound 19-U, that is, the uranyl maltotetraose derivative, with hydrogen phosphate and fluoride provide very encouraging results and open up the possibility of using such compounds for the efficient recognition of anions in pure water.

Chemical constituents of two oriental orchids, Calanthe discolor and C. liukiuensis: Precursor indole glycoside of tryptanthrin and indirubin

Two indole glycosides, calanthoside and glucoindican, were isolated from two oriental orchids, Calanthe discolor LINDL. and C. liukiuensis SCHLTR., together with calaphenanthreol, calaliukiuenoside, and bioactive known alkaloids, tryptanthrin, indirubin, and isatin. The structures of calanthoside, glucoindican, calaphenanthreol, and calaliukiuenoside were determined on the basis of physicochemical and chemical evidence. Furthermore, it was found that enzymatic hydrolysis of calanthoside furnished tryptanthrin as the main product, whereas indirubin and isatin were obtained by acid hydrolysis of calanthoside.
