J. Diakur et Aa. Noujaim, SYNTHESIS OF GD(3) AS A 4-METHYL-3-PENTENYL GLYCOSIDE AND SUBSEQUENT CONJUGATION TO HSA, Journal of carbohydrate chemistry, 13(5), 1994, pp. 777-797
The total synthesis of the tetrasaccharide sequence of the ganglioside
GD(3) -Neup5Ac-(2-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-beta-D-Glcp-) as the 4-met
hyl-3-pentenyl glycoside (13) has been accomplished in a relatively st
raightforward manner. This derivative displays reasonable H-1 NMR char
acteristics in D2O and has subsequently been coupled to a carrier prot
ein by employing the ozonolysis-reductive amination procedure.
