Summary

While the reaction of the 4-oxo-Neu 5 Ac derivative2 a with tributoxy methyl zirconate led exclusively to equatorial 4-C-methyl derivative3 a, the analogous reaction with tetramethyl zirconate yielded a 3:2 mixture of both diastereoisomeres3 a and4 a. After removal of protecting groups the 5-acetamido-3,4-dideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid5 a and 5-acetamido-3,4-dideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulosonic acid6 a were obtained. The 4-C-methylene derivative was prepared by treatment of the same 4-oxo-derivative with CH2I2/Zn/Cp 2ZrCl2. Subsequent hydrogenation led to both epimeric 4-deoxy-4-C-methyl derivatives8 a and9 a. Final removal of protecting groups gave the 5-acetamido-3,4,5-trideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonic acid10 a respectively the 5-acetamido-2,7-anhydro-4-C-methyl-3,4,5-trideoxy-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulosonic acid11 a. The β-methylketosides of the 4-deoxy-4-C-methyl- (16) and 4-C-methylene-Neu 5 Ac (15) were prepared via the peracetylated derivatives to obtain modell substrates for enzymatic studies. Thus all free acids were tested for inhibition of CMP-sialate synthease. Only the 4-C-methylene compound15 showed most unexpectedly a strong competitive inhibition of this enzyme.

Zusammenfassung

Während die Umsetzung des 4-Oxoderivates2 a mit (BuO)3 MeZr ausschließlich zur equatorialen 4-C-Methylverbindung3 a führt, wurde bei der Reaktion mitMe 4Zr ein 3:2-Gemisch der beiden Diastereomeren3 a und4 a erhalten. Das 4-C-Methylenderivat7 a wurde durch Reaktion derselben 4-Oxoverbindung mit CH2I2/Zn/Cp 2ZrCl2 erhalten. Eine anschließende Hydrierung (H2-Pd/C) führte zu einem trennbaren Germisch der beiden 4-Deoxy-4-C-methylderivative8 a und9 a. Diese Verbindungen konnten durch das Entfernen der Schutzgruppen einerseits in die 5-Acetamido-3,4,5-trideoxy-4-C-methyl-D-glycero-D-galacto-2-nonulosonsäure10 a und 5-Acetamido-2,7-anhydro-4-C-methyl-3,4,5-tridoxy-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulosonsäure11 a umgewandelt werden. Die Verbindungen Methyl-5-acetamido-4-C-methylen-3,4,5-trideoxy-β-D-manno-2-nonulopyranosidonat (15) und Methyl-5-acetemido-4-C-methyl-3,4,5-tridoxy-β-D-glycero-D-talo-2-nonulopyranosidonat (16) wurden als Modellverbindungen für enzymatische Untersuchungen über peracetylierte Zwischenstufen hergestellt. Überraschenderweise zeigte nur die 4-C-Methylenverbindung15 eine starke kompetitive Hemmung gegenüber CMP-Sialat-Synthase.
