Carbohydrates, acidic derivatives reactions

Click chemistry has been particularly active in various fields this year. For example, ample applications of click chemistry have been seen in carbohydrate chemistry. Various /weiido-oligosacchardies and amino acid glycoconjugates were synthesized via an intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction using easily accessible carbohydrate and amino acid derived azides and alkynes as building blocks <06JOC364>. The iterative copper(I)-catalyzed... 

Carbohydrate detection is important for applications such as glucose monitors these are arguably one of the most successful and relevant biosensors. An interesting fluorescence recovery-type saccharide sensor based on the reactivity of carbohydrates with boronic acids was reported in 2002 [36]. Specifically, modification of the cationic viologen-linked boronic acid derivative 40 to a zwitterionic species 41 upon covalent and reversible reaction of boronic acid with monosaccharides (Scheme 1) can cause the dissociation of the ion-pair in-... 

A rapid synthesis of cyclodepsipeptides containing sugar moieties was reported by Zhu and coworkers (Scheme 20) [88]. A three-component reaction of a sugar amino acid derivative 20a, an aldehyde b, and a dipeptide isocyanide c, followed by saponification and trifluoroacetic acid-promoted macrocyclization was employed to afford the cyclic amino sugar cyclopeptides d. This approach allows to systematically modify the amino acids and the carbohydrate residue, as well as the size of the macrocycle. Again, the only reagents used to mediate the formation of the...

To facilitate accesses to suitably functionalized sialic acid derivatives and complex sialyloligosaccharides for other usehil neoglycoconjugates, phase transfer catalysis (PTC) has been exploited extensively [for reviews see 42]. This process provided a wide range of carbohydrate derivatives under essentially clean Sn2 transformations. In the case of acetochloroneuraminic acid 1, the PTC reactions always provided inverted a-sialic acid derivatives [43]. para-Formylphenyl sialoside 7 [44], together with many other sialoside derivatives such as 8-10 [43], including thioacetate 12 [45] and azide 14 [46], were thus obtained (Scheme 1). Aldehyde 7 and similar glycosides are of particular interest since they could be directly conjugated to protein by reductive amina-tion after suitable deprotection [44]. 

Mur 207), has received renewed interest in recent years. A fine review covering the intermolecular asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction was compiled by Mori 208>. In this article the use of terpenes and carbohydrates as chiral auxiliaries is discussed no amino acid derivatives are mentioned in this context. A chiral a-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivative was also used to achieve an asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction 209). High asymmetric induction could be detected in the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction of chiral molecules.

Most work on side-chain reactions deals with carbohydrate chemistry in connection with the preparation of nucleoside analogues. In the more simple case of the hydroxymethyl derivative (208), thionyl chloride treatment gives the corresponding chloromethyl derivative and the chlorine is replaced by sulfur nucleophiles in the preparation of dithiophosphoric acid derivatives (209) (76HCA1593). 

A method for the stereoselective synthesis of a-aminophosphonates and their N-hydroxy derivatives by aminophosphonylation of carbohydrate and amino acid derivatives using nitrone- based chemistry has been reported (an example of reactions of N-monoprotected a-amino nitrones, whose progenitors were alanine, phenylalanine and leucine respectively, affording the corresponding N-hydroxy a-aminophosphonates, is given in Scheme 67). ... 

The techniques developed for the LF 3600 N-terminal protein sequencer (Beckman Instr.) provide a fast and efficient way to positively identify Ser (0-linked Sac), -Thr (0-linked Sac) and Asn (N-linked Sac) carbohydrate structures during N-terminal sequence analysis (Gooley et al., 1995). Liquid phase anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid (TEA) is used to extract glycosylated, polar amino acid derivatives from the reaction cartridge. These amino acids are then converted into PTH derivatives which can be...
