Abstract/Artist Statement
Unexplored disaccharide analogs for future studies of their biological functions as glycosidase inhibitors were investigated. In particular, uncommon 6,6-linked disaccharide analogs bound by ester, thioester, and amide functional groups were prepared and characterized. Synthesis of the 6,6 ester linked disaccharide was performed via a Lewis acidpromoted ring opening of tri-O-acetyl-β- glucopyranurono-6,1-lactone using benzyl-2,3,4- tri-O-benzyl-ß-D-glucopyranose as the nucleophile. The 6,6 thioester linked disaccharide was attempted by converting 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-benzyl-ß-D-glucopyranose into 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-benzyl-ß-6-thioester Dglucopyranose under Mitsonobu reaction conditions. Synthesis of amide linked disaccharides was also attempted by attacking 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-benzyl- ß-D-glucuronic acid with 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-benzyl- 6-amino-ß-Dglucopyranose. The resulting products were analyzed and characterized using ElectroSpray Ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
