Abstract
It has been shown that certain prokaryotes, such as Campylobacter jejuni, have asparagine (Asn)-linked glycoproteins. However, the structures of their glycans are distinct from those of eukaryotic origin. They consist of a bacillosamine residue linked to Asn, an α-(1→4)-Gal pNAc repeat, and a branching β-Glc p residue. In this paper, we describe a strategy for the stereoselective construction of the α-(1→4)-Gal pNAc repeat of a C. jejuni N-glycan, utilizing a pentafluoropropionyl (PFP) group as a temporary protective group of the C-4 OH group of the GalpN donor. The strategy was applied to the synthesis of the hexasaccharide α-Gal pNAc-(1→4)-α-Gal pNAc-(1→4)-[β-Glc p-(1→3)]-α-Gal pNAc(1→4)-α-Gal pNAc-(1→4)-Gal pNAc.
