- Abstract
Long-chain alkyl ether derivatives of sulfated oligosaccharides were semisynthesized as follows: two naturally occurring red seaweed galactans (neutral agarose and kappa-carrageenan) were submitted to partial reductive hydrolysis to give neutral and sulfated oligosaccharide alditols. The neutral disaccharide alditol (1) and its trityl ether (5) were sulfated and/or alkylated through formation of their dibutylstannylene or (bis)dibutylstannylene acetals. In these reactions, the dibutylstannylene acetals of the terminal 1,2-diols in the alditol units were more reactive than those formed on the cis-diols of the galactopyranosidic units. This property allowed the regioselective monoalkylation of a neutral tetrasaccharide alditol (2), which contained eleven free hydroxyl groups, the highest selectivity ever observed with dibutylstannylene acetals. An alkylated/sulfated derivative (11) was also obtained through the regioselective alkylation of a naturally sulfated disaccharide alditol (10, a kappa-carrageenan derivative).
