Published: November 2020

We have developed a cyanide-free strategy for the synthesis of glycosyl carboxylic acids, which can provide 1,2- or 1,2- glycosyl carboxylic acids and is compatible with common protecting groups. The synthetic utility was demonstrated by the synthesis of 12 unreported glycosyl acids and the total synthesis of scleropentaside A.

Protein -glycosylation, as one of the most crucial post-translational modifications, plays a significant role in various biological processes. The structural alterations of -glycans are closely associated with the onset and progression of numerous diseases. Therefore, the precise and specific identification of disease-related -glycans in complex biological samples is invaluable for understanding their involvement in physiological and pathological processes, as well as for discovering clinical diagnostic biomarkers.

Shanghai Frontiers Science Centre of TCM Chemical Biology, Innovation Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai 201203, China.

We developed glycosyl -(-methoxyphenylpropargyl) pyrrole-2-carboxylates (PPPCs) as highly effective donors for chemical glycosylation. The modular design and exceptional stability of the acid precursor provide PPPC donors with synthetic versatility and ease of use. Activated by NIS/TMSOTf, PPPC donors exhibit a broad compatibility for both - and -glycosylation reactions.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers studied cyanobacterial dialkylresorcinol bartolosides, initially thought to have glycosylated and halogenated structures.
  • They found that these compounds can form esters through a process involving chlorinated alkyl chains and fatty acids, leading to a variety of bartoloside derivatives.
  • The study identified 27 bartoloside and ester variants, including two new types, and revealed new structural features like hydroxylation that were not previously linked to this metabolite group.

This study emphasizes the potential of using sustainable and low-cost methods to process biopolymers, contributing to eco-friendly biorefinery technologies. In this context, the transformation of potato starch, a readily available biopolymer, into carboxylic acid starch (CAS) with high yield using an electrochemical process was achieved. As a result of the green transformation, the potato starch was oxidized into CAS, achieving 31 % oxidation of the available glycosyl groups.
