We report an operationally facile protocol to prepare photoactivatable probes of the bioactive mammalian disaccharide, Man(β1,4)GlcNAc. Using conformationally restricted mannosyl hemi-acetal donors in a one-pot chlorination, iodination and glycosylation sequence, β-mannosides were generated in excellent diastereoselectivities and yields. Upon accessing the disaccharide, we generated the corresponding photoactivatable probes by appending a diazirine-alkyne equipped linker via a condensation reaction between a diazirine-containing linker and C-1 and C-2 derivatized mannosylamines to furnish the desired C-1 and C-2 modified Man(β1,4)GlcNAc-based probes. This new synthetic protocol greatly simplifies the preparation of this important bioactive disaccharide to enable future work to identify its protein binding partners in cells.
我们报道了一种操作简便的方法来制备具有生物活性的哺乳动物二糖Man(β1,4)GlcNAc的光活化探针。在一锅法氯化、碘化和糖基化序列中使用构象受限的甘露糖基半缩醛供体,以优异的非对映选择性和产率生成了β-甘露糖苷。在获得二糖后,我们通过含重氮环丙烷的连接子与C-1和C-2衍生化的甘露糖胺之间的缩合反应,连接一个重氮环丙烷-炔基连接子,生成相应的光活化探针,以提供所需的基于C-1和C-2修饰的Man(β1,4)GlcNAc的探针。这种新的合成方法极大地简化了这种重要生物活性二糖的制备,以便未来能够在细胞中鉴定其蛋白质结合伙伴。
