Abstract
Each of four ganglioside GM4 and GM3 analogues containing 2- or 3-branched fatty alkyl residues in place of ceramide have been synthesized. Coupling of O-(methyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate)-(2→3)-2,4,6-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (13) or O-(methyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3,5-dideoxy-D-glycero-α-D-glacto-2-nonulopyranosylonate)-(2→3)-O-(2,4-di-O-acetyl-6-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-3-O-acetyl-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (14) with 2- or 3-branched fatty-alkyl-1-ols (9-12), prepared from the corresponding branched fatty acids by methyl esterification and reduction, using BF3Ot2 gave the corresponding ganglioside analogues (15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29) in good yields, which were coverted, via O-deacylation and de-esterification, into the title compounds.
