Abstract:
A convenient synthetic strategy to αGalCer and some relevant analogues by using a handily protected phytosphingosine is reported here. The conversion of the phytosphingosine amino group to azide and the protection of 3,4-diol as cyclic carbonate group, cleavable in mild basic conditions but resistant to acidic treatment, afforded quickly an excellent glycosyl acceptor. Its glycosylation with a proper galactosyl donor, gave a versatile intermediate in high yield and excellent stereoselectivity. To demonstrate the potentiality of the intermediate, three immunologically relevant compounds were chosen as model targets: αGalCer, dansyl alpha-galactosylceramide and 7DW8-5. These products were easily obtained in few steps and high yields to validate the synthetic route.
