Abstract

The first synthesis of the Neu5Gc analogue of SiaT n disaccharide, which can be detected in breast tumors by immunochemical methods, is reported. The regioselective sialylation of (3-trifluoroacetamidopropyl)-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-galactopyranoside with peracetate of the methyl ester ofN-acetoxyacetyl-neuraminic acid β-ethylthioglycoside in the presence ofN-iodosuccinimide and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (or its trimethylsilyl ester) resulted in the derivatives of α- and β-sialyl(2→6)galactosaminide in 39 and 32% yields, respectively. The catalytic hydrogenolysis of the azido group and subsequentN- andO-acetylation of the α-anomer gave the peracetate of trifluoroacetamidopropyl glycoside. Removal of the protective groups led to glycoside Neu5Gcα2→6GalNAcα-O(CH2)3NH2. Using the Neu5Gc derivative with acetoxyacetyl groups at positions O9 and O4 as a donor increases the α-selectivity of sialylation to afford the α- and β-anomers in 69 and 8% yields, respectively.
