Convenient preparation of di- and tri-ethynylbenzenes by cleavage of 2-hydroxy-2-methylbut-3-yn-4-yl-benzenes with water miscible reagents

2-Hydroxy-2-methylbut-3-yn-4-yl-benzenes, readily available from bromobenzenes, are efficiently cleaved by the water-miscible reagents sodium 2-propoxide in 2-propanol, or potassium hydroxide in dioxan, which facilitatese isolation of volatile ethynylbenzenes.

The sequence of a glycan and its topology of presentation team up to determine the specificity and selectivity of recognition by saccharide receptors (lectins). Structure–activity analysis would be furthered if the glycan part of a glycocluster could be efficiently elaborated in situ while keeping all other parameters constant. By using a bacterial α2,6-sialyltransferase and a small library of bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters, we illustrate the complete conversion of scaffold-presented lactoside units into two different sialylated ligands based on N-acetyl/glycolyl-neuraminic acid incorporation. We assess the ensuing effect on their bioactivity for a plant toxin, and present an analysis of the noncovalent substrate binding contacts that the added sialic acid moiety makes to the lectin. Enzymatic diversification of a scaffold-presented glycan can thus be brought to completion in situ, offering a versatile perspective for rational glycocluster engineering.
