Abstract
A methodology is described that can provide heparan sulfate oligosaccharides having a Δ4,5-double bond, which are needed as analytical standards and biomarkers for mucopolysaccharidoses. It is based on chemical oligosaccharide synthesis followed by modification of the C-4 hydroxyl of the terminal uronic acid moiety as methanesulfonate. This leaving group is stable under conditions used to remove temporary protecting groups, O-sulfation, and hydrogenolysis. Treatment with NaOH results in elimination of the methanesulfonate and formation of a Δ4,5-double bond.
