N-glycyl-β-glycopyranosylamines, derivatives of mono- and disaccharides, and their use for the preparation of carboxylic acid glycoconjugates

A convenient preparative procedure was developed for the synthesis ofN-glycyl-β-glycopyranosylamines, derivatives of monosaccharides (d-galactose,d-mannose,l-fucose, andN-acetyl-d-glucosamine) and disaccharides (lactose, melibiose, cellobiose, and maltose). These compounds were demonstrated to be useful for the preparation of glycoconjugates of biologically active compounds containing the carboxy group (nicotinic, orotic, kynurenic, and indoleacetic acids). Synthetic pathways were developed for conversions ofN-glycyl-β-glycopyranosylamines into derivatives containing the carboxy group with the use of malonic andl-tartaric acid derivatives.
