AK1401 is a mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1 (serotype 05) that does not express O-antigen, but does express "A-band" lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The polysaccharide portion of the A-band LPS (A-PS) from AK1401 was found to consist mainly of D-rhamnose, with smaller amounts of 3-O-methylrhamnose, ribose, mannose, glucose, and a 3-O-methylhexose. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the intact A-PS indicated that the main structural feature was a repeating trisaccharide of α-D-rhamnose having the following structure:[Formula: see text]The 1H NMR spectrum of the repeating unit was completely assigned through the use of 2D shift-correlated and relayed coherence transfer NMR spectroscopy. The linkage positions and sequence of residues were found by nuclear Overhauser enhancement difference spectroscopy. Key words: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, lipopolysaccharide, 1H NMR.

8-Aza-3-deazaguanosine (2) bas been prepared via a route which used a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to provide a key intermediate. The reaction of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl azide (13) with methyl 4-hydroxy-2-butynoate (11) provided a good yield of crystalline methyl 5-hydroxymethyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-υ-triazole-4-carboxylate (14). A series of functional group transformations were then used to convert 14 into methyl 5-cyanomethyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-υ-triazolo-4-carboxylate (19). Treatment of 19 with liquid ammonia effected not only a smooth removal of the blocking groups, but also an aminolysis of the ester function which was then followed by a ring annulation to provide 8-aza-3-deazaguanosine (2). The structures of these nucleosides were established on the basis of proton nmr spectral data and nuclear Overhauser enhancement data. The nucleosides obtained in this study were also converted through a chemical degradation sequence into nucleosides which had been obtained during an earlier work from our laboratory. The present study also provides unequivocal proof of the structures of some triazole nucleosides obtained in the earlier study.
