Application of photoinduced acylnitrene aziridination to the syntheses of L-daunosamine and L-ristosamine glycosides is reported. Photoreaction of methyl 4-O-azidocarbonyl-2,3,6-trideoxy-L-hex-2-enopyranosides, followed by aziridine opening, leads to 3-amino-3-N-,4-O-carbonyl-2,3,6-trideoxy precursors to the aminosugar methyl glycosides. Conversion of these precursors to their thioglycoside analogues followed by N-acetylation of the carbamate moiety permits high yielding and, in some cases, stereoselective glycosylations using the 1-benzenesulfinylpiperidine-triflic anhydride activation method developed by Crich and co-workers. Glycosylations involving activation with N-iodosuccinimide and silver triflate were also successful, but the stereoselectivities of these reactions in general were lower.
The synthesis of 3-azido-3-deoxy, 3-amino-3-deoxy and 3-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl-3-deoxy derivatives of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-alpha,beta-D-mannose (N-acetyl-alpha,beta-D-mannosamine, ManNAc), is presented. The 3-azido-3-deoxy- and 3-N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl compounds were further characterised as their peracetates. A preliminary study has found that these C-3 nitrogen-substituted derivatives of ManNAc not to be substrates for Neu5Ac aldolase.
A rapid means of stereochemical differentiation and quantification for the hexosamine monosaccharides was achieved using electrospray ionization quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry. The hexosamine monosaccharides, glucosamine, galactosamine, and mannosamine, were derivatized with [Co(DAP)2Cl2]Cl, and the complex [Co(DAP)2(HexNH2)]Cl was generated. Subjecting this complex to collision-induced dissociation provided a unique product ion spectrum for each of the diastereomeric monosaccharide complexes, thus differentiating the stereoisomers. Furthermore, the stereoisomers were quantified. This was achieved by using the relative abundances of product ions from pure standards and using these values to determine the ratio of isomeric products in a mixture. The utility of this quantification method was demonstrated by successfully determining the composition of two- and three-component mixtures of the hexosamines.
