Abstract [en]

An array of NMR spectroscopy experiments have been carried out to obtain conformationallydependent 1H,13C- and 13C,13C-spin-spin coupling constants in the trisaccharide a-L-Rhap-(1®2)[a-LRhap-(1®3)]-a-L-Rhap-OMe. The trisaccharide was synthesized with 13C site-specific labeling at C2'and C2'', i.e., in the rhamnosyl groups in order to alleviate 1H spectral overlap. Using both the naturalabundance compound and the 13C-labeled sample 2D 1H,13C-J-HMBC and 1H,13C-HSQC-HECADENMR experiments, total line-shape analysis of 1H NMR spectra and 1D 13C NMR experiments wereemployed to extract 3C,H J , 2C,H J , 3C,C J , and1C,C J . The 13C site-specific labeling facilitates straightforward determination of nC,C J as the splitting of the 13C natural abundance resonances. This studyresulted in seven conformationally dependent coupling constants for the trisaccharide and illustrates theuse of 13C site-specific labeling as a valuable tool that extends the 1D and 2D NMR methods in currentuse to attain both hetero- and homonuclear spin-spin coupling constants.

Abstract [en]

A deeper understanding of the diversity of carbohydrates and the many applications of oligo- and polysaccharides found in nature are of high interest. Many of the processes involving carbohydrates affect our everyday life. This thesis is based on six papers all contributing to an extended perspective of carbohydrate property and functionality. An introduction to carbohydrate chemistry together with a presentation of selected carbohydrate synthesis and analysis methods introduces the reader to the research field. The first paper is an NMR spectroscopy reinvestigation of the structures of the O-antigens from the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Shigella dysenteriae type 3 and Escherichia coli O124. The repeating units were concluded to be built of identical branched pentasaccharides now with the correct anomeric configurations. Paper II is a structural investigation of the O-antigen from the LPS of E. coli O74 which is built of branched tetrasaccharide repeating units including the uncommon monosaccharide d-Fuc3NAc. Paper III is a conformational study of a rhamnose derivative, using NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The benzoyl ester group positioned at C4 prefers an “eclipsed” conformation in the crystal as well as in solution. The use of site-specifically 13C-labeled compounds in conformational studies is discussed in Papers IV and V. The disaccharide α-L-Rhap-(1→2)-α-L-Rhap-OMe was synthesized together with two 13C-isotopologues and studied with NMR spectroscopy to give seven J-couplings related to torsion angles φ and ψ. The trisaccharide α-L-Rhap-(1→2)[α-L-Rhap-(1→3)]-α-L-Rhap-OMe was synthesized with 13C-labeling at two positions which presented a solution to a problem of overlapping signals in the 1H NMR spectrum. The site-specific labeling also facilitated the measurement of two 3JCC and two 2JCH coupling constants. Finally, chapter 6 gives a short introduction to glycosynthase chemistry and discusses the synthesis of α-glycosyl fluorides. A novel cyclic heptasaccharide was synthesized from α-laminariheptaosyl fluoride using a mutant of the enzyme laminarase 16A and subsequently analyzed by NMR spectroscopy.
