Herein we report the synthesis of 3-aminopropyl glycosides of A (type 2) and B (type 2) tetrasaccharides via [3 + 1] block scheme. Peracetylated trichloroacetimidates of A and B trisaccharides were used as glycosyl donors. The well-known low reactivity of 4-OH group of N-acetyl-d-glucosamine forced us to test four glucosamine derivatives (3-Bz-1,6-anhydro-GlcNAc and 3-trifluoroacetamidopropyl β-glycosides of 3-Ac-6-Bn-GlcNAc, 3-Ac-6-Bn-GlcN3, and 3-Ac-6-Bn-GlcNAc2) to select the best glycosyl acceptor for the synthesis of type 2 tetrasaccharides. The desired tetrasacchrides were not isolated, when 3-trifluoroacetamidopropyl glycosyde of 3-Ac-6-Bn-GlcNAcβ was glycosylated. Glycosylation of 3-Bz-1,6-anhydro-GlcNAc derivative resulted in α-glycoside as a major product. High stereospecificity was achieved only in the synthesis of B (type 2) tetrasaccharide, when 3-trifluoroacetamidopropyl 3-Ac-6-Bn-GlcNAc2β was applied as the glycosyl acceptor (β/α 5:1), whereas glycosylation with trichloroacetimidate of A trisaccharide was not stereospecific (β/α 1.3:1). Glycosylation of 3-trifluoroacetamidopropyl glycoside of 3-Ac-6-Bn-GlcN3β with trichloroacetimidates of A and B trisaccharides provided the same stereochemical yield (β/α 1.5:1). 

Block synthesis of A (type 2) and B (type 2) tetrasaccharides related to the human ABO blood group system.

Seven lipophilic constructs containing Lewis (Le, Le, Le) or chimeric Lewis/ABH (ALe, BLe, ALe, BLe) glycans were obtained starting from corresponding oligosaccharides in form of 3-aminopropyl glycosides. ALe and BLe pentasaccharides were synthesized via [3 + 1] blockwise approach. The constructs (neoglycolipids, or FSLs) were inserted in erythrocyte membrane, and obtained "kodecytes" were used to map the immunochemical specificity of historical and contemporary monoclonal and polyclonal blood group system Lewis reagents.

Function-spacer-lipid constructs of Lewis and chimeric Lewis/ABH glycans. Synthesis and use in serological studies.

Gram scale synthesis of A (type 2) and B (type 2) tetrasaccharides in the form of 3-aminopropyl glycosides is proposed starting from 3-O-benzoyl-1,6-anhydro-N-acetylglucosamine. Its galactosylation followed by re-protection gave lactosamine derivative with single free 2'-OH group in total yield 75%. Standard fucosylation and next run of re-protection in total yield 88% gave a trisaccharide Fuc-Gal-anhydroGlcNAc with single free 3'-OH group. Its standard α-galactosylation gave protected B (type 2) tetrasaccharide. For synthesis of correspondent A tetrasaccharide seven different 2-azido-2-deoxygalactosyl (GalN) donors were tested: 6-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-GalN thioglycoside was shown to provide the best yield (89%) and stereoselectivity (α/β = 24:1). Further 1,6-anhydro cycle opening, spacer-arming and complete deprotection resulted in the target 3-aminopropyl glycosides of A (type 2) and B (type 2) tetrasaccharides, yields 87 and 85% correspondingly.
