Synthesis of 1,3-divalent glycoconjugates with diverse structures and their functionalization

A series of novel 1,3-difunctionalized glycoconjugates were synthesized using a sequence of regioselective functionalization and stereoselective glycosidation of D-glucose and D-GlcNAc. Regioselective C-3 functionalization of sugar molecules was achieved by chemical functionalization of isopropylidene or oxazoline protected sugar derivatives. The structural diversity at the anomeric carbon was explored by stereoselective chemical glycosidation. The oxazoline protected D-GlcNAc derivative gave either pyranose or furanose derivatives on glycosidation depending on the amount of Lewis acid used. The diversely functionalized glycoconjugates with azide or alkyne groups are potentially useful for the synthesis of multifunctionalized complex glycoconjugates via click reactions.
