To develop a convenient method for the preparation of an alpha-Kdo derivative carrying a functional spacer at the reducing end, we examined anomeric O-acylation using Kdo and halogenated alkyl/aryl isocyanates as nucleophile and electrophiles, respectively. Reaction of a Kdo derivative with 2-chloroethyl isocyanate in the presence of DMAP gave an alpha-spiro product (82%) and an alpha-Kdo derivative of a dimeric isocyanate adduct (10%). Similar reaction with 4-(chloromethyl)phenyl isocyanate gave only the corresponding alpha-spiro product (81%). The NMR data show that the pyranose rings of both the alkyl and aryl spiro products adopt the 5C2 conformation. Thus, we accomplished alpha-selective anomeric O-acylation by coupling the Kdo derivative with alkyl and aryl isocyanates.

Fully acetylated deoxyfluorinated hexosamine analogues and non-fluorinated 3,4,6-tri-O-acylated N-acetyl-hexosamine hemiacetals have previously been shown to display moderate anti-proliferative activity. We prepared a set of deoxyfluorinated GlcNAc and GalNAc hemiacetals that comprised both features: O-acylation at the non-anomeric positions with an acetyl, propionyl and butanoyl group, and deoxyfluorination at selected positions. Determination of the in vitro cytotoxicity towards the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer and HEK-293 cell lines showed that deoxyfluorination enhanced cytotoxicity in most analogues.

Methanol dried extensively over molecular sieves, or methanol in combination with powdered molecular sieves, serves as a good acceptor for acyl transfer reactions. Several O-acetylated and O-benzoylated sugar derivatives were efficiently de-O-acylated using this approach. In the case of per-O-acetylated N-acetylglucosamine, selective anomeric deprotection could be effected in high yield.

The regioselective C-3-O-acylation and O-methylation of a range of 4,6-O-benzylidene-beta-D-gluco- and galactopyranosides has been studied. Regioselectivity is achieved by forming the copper chelate of the 2,3-diol using either sodium hydride and copper(II) chloride, or copper(II) acetylacetanoate, or copper(II) acetate, prior to introduction of the acylating or methylating agent.
