3-Nitro-2-pyridyl (3NPy) glycosides, which act as versatile glycosyl donors in enzymatic transglycosylation, can also be chemically activated. Chemical glycosylation with protected 3NPy glycosides was readily effected at -20°C by using TMSOTf as a catalyst to afford the desired glycosides in good yields. A trisaccharide serine conjugate Gal(β1-3)Gal(β1-4)Xylβ-Ser was synthesized by combined use of enzymatic and chemical glycosylations. The trisaccharide 3NPy glycoside was prepared by stepwise transglycosylation of a Gal-3NPy donor to a Xyl-3NPy acceptor by using a β-galactosidase. After protection of the free hydroxy groups of the trisaccharide by acetylation, the 3NPy glycoside was then subjected to chemical glycosylation of a serine residue to afford the trisaccharide serine conjugate.

The title trisaccharide-serine conjugate 1 constituting the linkage region between glycosaminoglycan and protein in proteoglycan, was synthesized via a trisaccharide p-nitrophenyl (PNP) glycoside prepared by stepwise enzymatic transglycosidation to Xyl-PNP with a β-D-galactosidase. In the second transglycosidation step, partial protection of the disaccharide intermediate, Gal-Xyl-PNP, furnished selective galactosylation at the 3'-position. Cleavage of the PNP group after peracetylation, chemical coupling with serine and final deprotection afforded 1. Fluorescence labeled trisaccharide, Gal(β1-3)Gal(β1-4)Xyl(β)-MU (MU: 4-methylumbelliferyl) (2) was also synthesized in a simalar way.
