The structures in aqueous solution of all major contributing forms of D-altro-heptulose 1,7-diphosphate, and D-glycero-D-altro and D-glycero-D-ido-octulose 1,8-diphosphates have been established by 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy. Assignments to individual carbon atoms were made with the aid of isotopically enriched analogues and by comparison with related sugars.
In relation to the synthesis of antipseudomonal drugs, namely, gentamicin C2 and 3-de-O-methylsporaricin A, a protected purpurosamine B (15) and 6-epipurpurosamine B (13) were synthesized. The key intermediate, methyl 2,3,4,7- tetradeoxy-6-O-(methylsulfonyl)-2-phthalimido-beta-L-lyxo-++ +heptopyranoside (8), was obtained in 48% yield by Grignard addition to methyl 2,3,4-trideoxy-2-phthalimido-alpha-D-erythro-hexodialdo-1,5-pyrano side (7) proceeding in accordance with Cram's chelate rule, followed by methylsulfonylation. From 8, compound 15 was readily obtained by introduction of the azide group with inversion of configuration at C-6. Compound 13 was obtained by introduction of the azide group with retention of configuration.

7-Deoxy-7-iodohept-1-enitols react intramolecularly to give 5-carba analogues of pyranoses (pseudo sugars) by the action of tributyltin hydride, which generates a radical at C-7. The configuration at the new chiral centre depends on the relative orientation of the oxygen functions in the starting material and the pattern of substitution.
The disaccharides O-(sodium 3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-2-octulopyranosylonate)-(2-->8)-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosid)onate (8), O-L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranosyl-(1-->7)-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosid)onate (12), and O-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->7)-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosid)onate (21) and the branched trisaccharides O-L-glycero-alpha-D-manno-heptopyranosyl-(1-->7)-[O-(sodium 3-deoxy-alpha- and -beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosylonate)-(2-->8)]-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosid)onate (15 and 16) and O-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->7)-[O-(sodium 3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-2-octulopyranosylonate)-(2-->8)]-sodium (allyl 3-deoxy-beta-D-manno-2-octulopyranosid)onate (24) were prepared. Per-O-acetylated mannopyranosyl or Kdo bromide derivatives were employed for the glycosylation steps under Helferich conditions, whereas the imidate derivative 9 was used for the coupling of the L-glycero-D-manno-heptopyranosyl residues. The oligosaccharides were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopic data. Their structures correspond to an artificial linkage pattern providing a potential cross-reactive epitope for antibodies directed against the inner-core-region of enterobacterial as well as chlamydial lipopolysaccharides.

A branched-chain hexasaccharide containing 3-deoxy-D-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid was released by detergent-promoted hydrolysis from Bordetella pertussis endotoxin preparations that were first dephosphorylated with aqueous HF and then treated with nitrous acid. Its structure (2) [Formula: See text] was determined by chemical and physical methods. This hexasaccharide is present in all four lipopolysaccharides that make up the B. pertussis strain 1414 (phase 1) endotoxin preparations analysed, and is situated near to the hydrophobic domains. An analogous structure reported previously (ref 7) is erroneous and should be disregarded.
Lipo-oligosaccharide from phenol-water extraction of cells of Campylobacter lari strain PC 637 was separated as a water-insoluble gel of low relative molecular mass (M(r)) from a water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide of high M(r). Structural investigations were performed on the lipo-oligosaccharide and the extracellular polysaccharide, variously using 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, linkage analysis, and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry of permethylated derivatives of the glycans and their products of chemical and enzymic degradation. The following structures are proposed for the highly branched oligosaccharide region: [formula: see text] and for the tetraglycosyl phosphate repeating unit of the extracellular polysaccharide: [formula; see text]
Lipo-oligosaccharide (LOS) from phenol-water extraction of cells of the Campylobacter lari type strain (ATCC 35221) was separated as a water-insoluble gel of low relative molecular mass (M(r)) from a water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide of high M(r). Structural investigations were performed on the liberated oligosaccharide and the extracellular polysaccharide, variously using 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy, linkage analysis, and fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry of permethylated derivatives of the glycans and their products of chemical and enzymic degradation. The following structures are proposed for the highly branched region of the LOS: [formula: see text] and for the tetraglycosyl phosphate repeating unit of the extracellular polysaccharide: [-(PO3-)-->3)-beta-D-GlcpNAc-(1-->2)-6-d-alpha-L-gul-Hepp -(1-->2)-3-d-beta-D-threo-Penp-(1-->3)-6-d-alpha-L-gul-He pp-]n
