O-Isopropylidene derivatives of sugars are readily prepared by using the Lewis acid and dehydrating agent triphenylphosphine polymer-bound/I2 complex. This new method is characterized by smooth, non-equilibrating reaction conditions and a very clean, simple work-up, making it particularly suitable for O-isopropylidenation of sugars under mild conditions and with low environmental impact.

Fucosylation is often the final process in glycan biosynthesis. The resulting glycans are involved in a variety of biological processes, such as cell adhesion, inflammation, or tumor metastasis. Fucosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of fucose residues from the activated donor molecule GDP-β-L-fucose to various acceptor molecules. However, detailed information about the reaction processes is still lacking for most fucosyltransferases. In this work we have monitored α1,3-fucosyltransferase activity. For both donor and acceptor substrates, the introduction of a fluorescent ATTO dye was the last step in the synthesis. The subsequent conversion of these substrates into fluorescently labeled products by α1,3-fucosyltransferases was examined by high-performance thin-layer chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry as well as dual-color fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy, which revealed that both fluorescently labeled donor GDP-β-L-fucose-ATTO 550 and acceptor N-acetyllactosamine-ATTO 647N were accepted by recombinant human fucosyltransferase IX and Helicobacter pylori α1,3- fucosyltransferase, respectively. Analysis by fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy allowed a quick and versatile estimation of the progress of the enzymatic reaction and therefore this method can be used as an alternative method for investigating fucosyltransferase reactions. Fucosyl transfer: Two substrates of α1,3-fucosyltransferase IX have been labeled with ATTO dyes to monitor the enzymatically catalyzed transfer of the sugar moiety (see figure). The labeled guanosine diphosphate-fucose derivative was prepared by using cycloSal technology. The successful transfer reaction was first proven by high-performance thin-layer chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy proved to be a suitable method for monitoring the enzyme activity.
