Ma. Probert et al., CHEMOENZYMATIC SYNTHESIS OF GM(3), LEWIS-X AND SIALYL-LEWIS-X OLIGOSACCHARIDES IN C-13-ENRICHED FORM, Tetrahedron letters, 38(33), 1997, pp. 5861-5864
In connection with studies on the solution and protein-bound conformat
ion of oligosaccharides, we had reason to consider the application of
C-13-enriched sugars. Herein we describe the synthesis of ganglioside
GM(3) trisaccharide (1), Lewis x trisaccharide (2) and the sialyl Lewi
s x tetrasaccharide (3) from [U-C-13]-D-Glc, [U-C-13]-L-Gal and [U-C-1
3]-pyruvate. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
