- Synthetic studies on glycopeptides concerned with defense response of plants. I. Syntheses of supprescins A and B
-
Two glycopeptides, supprescins A and B, that suppress the production of pisatin, a phytoalexin of pea, were synthesized. In the synthesis of supprescin A, condensation of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D- galacto-pyranosyl trichloroacetimidate or its glycosidic β isomer with N- (carbobenzoxy)-L-seryl-O-benzyl-L-seryl-glycine methyl ester was carried out in the presence of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) to give the monoglycosyl tripeptide derivatives. For the synthesis of supprescin B, glycosylation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide and 1,2,3,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-α-D-galactopyranose was promoted by silver trifluoro-methanesulfonate (AgOTf) to provide a disaccharide derivative. The coupling of diglycosyl imidate, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl- (1→4)-3,6-di-O-benzoyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-D-galactopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate, and N-(carbobenzoxy)-L-seryl-O-benzyl-L-seryl-glycyl- 4-benzyl-L-aspartyl-5-benzyl-L-glutamyl-O-benzyl-L-threonine methyl ester in the presence of TMSOTf afforded the diglycosyl hexapeptide derivatives. Reduction, followed by N-acetylation, and then removal of the remaining protecting groups afforded the desired supprescin B.
