Direct Synthesis of Maradolipids and Other Trehalose 6-Monoesters and 6,6′-Diesters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
It was shown that reaction of trehalose with 1 equiv of a fatty acid in pyridine promoted by 1 equiv of the uronium-based coupling agent 2-(1H-benzotriazole-1-yl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyluronium tetrafluoroborate (TBTU) at room temperature gives a good yield of the primary ester accompanied by small amounts of the diprimary ester using hexanoic, palmitic, and oleic acids as examples. Reactions using 2 equiv of the fatty acids gave the symmetrical diesters. The monoesters were reacted with different fatty acids to give nonsymmetric 6,6'-diesters in very good yields. Compounds synthesized include the most abundant component of the very complex maradolipid mixture, 6-O-(13-methyltetradecanoyl)-6'-O-oleoyltrehalose, and a component potentially present in this mixture, 6-O-(12-methyltetradecanoyl)-6'-O-oleoyltrehalose, a derivative of an ante fatty acid. The C5-C6 rotameric populations of 6-O-monoesters, symmetrical 6,6'-diesters, and 2,6,6'-triesters of fatty acids were calculated from the values of the H5-H6R and H5-H6S coupling constants and found to be similar to those found for glucose. The rotameric populations of the monosubstituted glucose residues in the 2,6,6'-triesters was altered considerably to favor the gt rotamer, presumably because of attraction between the 2- and 6'-fatty acid chains.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
