Kj. Jensen et al., GLYCOSYLATION OF PHENOLS - PREPARATION OF 1,2-CIS AND 1,2-TRANS GLYCOSYLATED TYROSINE DERIVATIVES TO BE USED IN SOLID-PHASE GLYCOPEPTIDE SYNTHESIS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (17), 1993, pp. 2119-2129
The synthesis of four building blocks, N(alpha)-Fmoc-Tyr(Ac4-beta-D-Gl
c)-OPfp 6, N(alpha)-Fmoc-Tyr(Bz4-alpha-D-Glc)-OPfp 16, c-Tyr[Ac4-alpha
-D-Glc-(1-->4)-Ac3-beta-D-Glc]-OPfp 9 and -Tyr[Bz4-alpha-D-Glc-(1-->4)
-Bz3-alpha-D-Glc]-OPfp 19, suitable for solid-phase glycopeptide synth
esis is described. Several different glycosylation procedures were eva
luated for this purpose. A remarkable solvent effect on the alpha:beta
ratio was observed on going from dichloromethane to the nucleophilic
solvent acetonitrile for the glycosylation reactions promoted by silve
r triflate with participating protecting groups in the 2-position of t
he glycosyl donor.
