Abstract
Total synthesis and structural characterization of a novel 6-Osulfo deNacetylsialyl Lewis X, which was originally discovered as a minor byproduct of the parent 6-Osulfo Nacetylsialyl Lewis X, a highaffinity endogenous ligand for human Lselectin, are described. The total synthesis has been achieved by a highly efficient, regio and α stereoselective glycosylation of Ntrifluoroacetylneuraminic acid, selective protections of the 3- and 6-hydroxyl groups of Nacetylglucosamine that undergo fucosylation and sulfation, and construction of the glycolipid structure containing a ceramide. The structure of 6-Osulfo deNacetylsialyl Lewis X ganglioside was characterized by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS).
