The overall strategy for the synthesis of penta- up to octa-saccharides, representing the biological repeating unit of the Shigella flexneri serogroup Y lipopolysaccharide, is described.The key intermediate, the common terminal trisaccharide, α-L-Rhap-(1->2)-α-L-Rhap(1->3)-α-L-Rhap, has been synthesised by a series of Koenigs-Knorr reactions.A selectively protected rhamnose intermediate has been developed for the synthesis of this trisaccharide as its allyl glycoside.Allyl α-L-rhamnopyranoside was converted into the corresponding 2-O-benzoyl-4-O-benzyl derivative via a 2,3-orthobenzoate.Koenigs-Knorr reaction between this partially blocked rhamnoside and 2-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl chloride afforded the blocked disaccharide.Selective transesterification of the 2'-O-acetyl group in the presence of the 2-O-benzoate yielded the disaccharide, selectively deblocked at the C-2' position.Reaction with the same rhamnopyranosyl chloride gave the fully blocked trisaccharide.Deallylation, followed by treatment with NN-dimethyl(chloromethylene)ammonium chloride, then gave the corresponding trisaccharide chloride.In conjunction with the disaccharide methyl 2-O-(2'-acetamido-4',6'-O-benzylidene-2'-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-3,4-di-O-benzyl-α-L-rhamnopyranoside, the synthesis of the blocked pentasaccharide was accomplished.Transesterification, followed by hydrogenolysis in aqueous acetic acid, afforded the pure pentasaccharide hapten, α-L-Rhap-(1->2)-α-L-Rhap-(1->3)-α-L-Rhap-(1->3)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1->2)-α-L-Rhap, as its methyl glycoside, for use in binding studies and n.m.r. studies.
