The chemo-enzymatic synthesis is described of β-D-Glcp-(1→6)-[β-D-Galp-(1→4)]-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→O(CH(2))(6)NH(2) (1), β-D-Glcp-(1→6)-[β-D-Galp-(1→4)]-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→O(CH(2))(6)NH(2) (2), β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp-(1→O(CH(2))(6)NH(2) (3), and β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→3)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-Glcp -(1→6)-[β-D-Galp-(1→4)]-β-D-GlcpNAc-(1→O(CH(2))(6)NH(2) (4), representing fragments of the repeating unit of the Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 14 capsular polysaccharide. Linear intermediate oligosaccharides 5-8 were synthesized via chemical synthesis, followed by enzymatic galactosylation using bovine milk β-1,4-galactosyltransferase as a catalyst. The title oligosaccharides form suitable compounds for conjugation with carrier proteins, to be tested as potential vaccines in animal models.
