Serine-based amino-functionalized neoglycolipids were prepared by solid-phase synthesis using a carbamate-linker strategy and monitoring with gel-phase 19F NMR spectroscopy. The terminal amine obtainedafter cleavage was conjugated to amino-functionalized microtiter plates using didecyl squarate and the array was successfully probed with a galactose-binding lectin.

Abstract

Amino-functionalized serine-based galactose and glucose neoglycolipids were prepared by solid-phase synthesis using a carbamate strategy for anchoring amino functionalities to a (2-fluoro-4-hydroxymethylphenoxy)acetic acid linker resin. Key synthetic steps were monitored with gel-phase 19F NMR spectroscopy. Cleavage from the solid support was performed with trifluoroacetic acid. The terminal amine of the neoglycolipids was conjugated with didecyl squarate and then immobilized in amino-functionalized microtiter plates and the glycoconjugates were successfully probed with a galactose-binding lectin.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
