Chelation-induced conformational change of polypeptides is a useful strategy in de novo protein design, 1 which ultimately aims at the construction of artificial proteins with tailor-made structures and functionalities. Employing this strategy with oligosaccharides may lead to the development of novel sugar-based architectures. Although the addition of metal ions to solutions of some natural polysaccharides causes coil-helix transitions2, 3 and some monosaccharides undergo shifts in the ring conformation equilibrium by the addition of metal ions, 2, 4 the extent to which metal ions influence these conformational properties is usually small, and no extraordinary conformations are created. In this study, we created a novel turn structure of the trisaccharides 2 and 3 by a hinge-like 4C1-to-1C4 ring flip of the 2, 4-diamino-2, 4-dideoxy-β-D-xylopyranoside unit (Figure 1). This ring flip was enabled by the flexible ring structure5 and the strong chelating ability of diamino groups in the 1, 3-diaxial orientation. 6 Conformational behavior of the methyl glycoside 1 and that of the hinge unit on addition of metal ions were investigated by 1H NMR.The methyl glycoside 1 was synthesized in five steps from the known compound 47 (Scheme 1). The methods for synthesizing 2, 4-diazido-2, 4-dideoxy derivatives of glucopyranoside8 and R-xylopyranoside9 were employed for the synthesis of the key intermediate 7. Birch reduction of 7 gave the compound 1. The trisaccharides 2 and 3 were designed to mimic the trisaccharide sequence (Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ1-2ManR) 10 of complex N-linked glycans, in which the central sugar, GlcNAc, is replaced with the hinge unit. Introduction of the mannose units at the reducing end of 1 was accomplished by conversion of 7 into the 1-O-trichloroacetimidate 10 and then conversion of 10 by the Schmidt method11 to give disaccharides 11 and 12. Galactose residues were incorporated into 11 and 12 by the trichloroace-
