Total synthesis of D-glycero-D-mannno-heptose 1β, 7-bisphosphate with 3-O-amyl amine linker and its monophosphate derivative.

Abstract

D-Glycero-D-mannno-heptose 1β, 7-bisphosphate (HBPβ) is an important intermediate for constructing the core structure of Gram-negative bacterial lipopolysaccharides and was reported as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that regulates immune responses. HBPβ with 3-O-amyl amine linker and its monophosphate derivative D-glycero-D-mannno-heptose 7-phosphate (HP) with 1α-amyl amine linker have been synthesized as candidates for immunity study of HBPβ. The O3-amyl amine linker of heptose was installed by dibutyltin oxide-mediated regioselective alkylation under fine-tuned protecting condition. The stereoselective installation of 1β-phosphate ester was achieved by NIS-mediated phosphorylation at low temperature. The strategy for installation of 3-O-amyl amine linker onto HBP derivative can be expanded to the syntheses of other conjugation-ready carbohydrates bearing anomeric phosphoester.
