The synthesis of the new sialyl Lewis X analogue, 4-O-(α-L-fucopyranosyl)-3-O-(3-O-sodium sulfonato-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(2S,3R, 4R)-2-ethyl-3,4-dihydroxypyrrolidine 2 has been achieved. The N-acetyl glucosamine unit of natural Lewis X has been replaced by a rigid 3R/4R-dihydroxylated pyrrolidine 12. This one has been synthezised from the methyl 4-O-benzoyl-2,3-di-O-benzyl-6-deoxy-6-iodo-α-D-altropyranoside sugar precursor 10 using the Ganem/Bernotas one-pot elimination-reductive amination ring contraction reaction. The (2S, 3R, 4R)-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-3,4-dihydroxy-2-ethylpyrrolidine 12 obtained was subsequently regioselectively glycosylated, using 2,3,4-tri-O-benzyl-α-L-fucopyranosyl fluoride and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-D-galactopyranosyl bromide as glycosyl donors. Disaccharide containing pyrrolidine 21 was finally transformed into the target O-sulfated analog 2, after regioselective sulfation and usual deprotection.
