An efficient method to rapidly synthesize 3-deoxy-d-manno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo) and its derivatives in large scale has been developed. Starting from d-mannose, the di-O-isopropylidene derivative of Kdo ethyl ester was prepared in three steps on a scale of more than 40 g in one batch in an overall yield of 75-80% without any intermediate purification. Kdo, Kdo glycal, and 2-acetylated Kdo ester were synthesized quickly in high yield from a di-O-isopropylidene derivative of Kdo ethyl ester. 2-Deoxy-β-Kdo ester was obtained with high stereoselectivity via the epimerization of the α-isomer using t-BuOH as a proton source.

Queuosine (Q) is a hypermodified RNA nucleoside that is found in tRNAHis, tRNAAsn, tRNATyr, and tRNAAsp. It is located at the wobble position of the tRNA anticodon loop, where it can interact with U as well as C bases located at the respective position of the corresponding mRNA codons. In tRNATyr and tRNAAsp of higher eukaryotes, including humans, the Q base is for yet unknown reasons further modified by the addition of a galactose and a mannose sugar, respectively. The reason for this additional modification, and how the sugar modification is orchestrated with Q formation and insertion, is unknown. Here, we report a total synthesis of the hypermodified nucleoside galactosyl-queuosine (galQ). The availability of the compound enabled us to study the absolute levels of the Q-family nucleosides in six different organs of newborn and adult mice, and also in human cytosolic tRNA. Our synthesis now paves the way to a more detailed analysis of the biological function of the Q-nucleoside family.

A straightforward and scalable method for the synthesis of protected 2-hydroxyglycals is described. The approach is based on the chlorination of carbohydrate-derived hemiacetals, followed by an elimination reaction to establish the glycal moiety. 1,2-dehy
