Abstract: It has been reported that N-acetylchitooligosaccharides can act as the chemical signals in the plant induced resistance. In order to study the mechanisms and search new compounds with a high biological activity, utilizing N-phthalic acyle group as the protective group of amine, and thioethyl as the leaving group at the reducing terminal, two novel N-acetylchitooligosaccharide analogues, β-1,3-N-acetamido-gluco-disaccharide and β-1,3-N-acetamido-gluco-trisaccharide, were designed and synthesized by amino glucose as the starting material. All synthesized compounds were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. Being different with the natural N-acetylchitooligosaccharides, the two synthesized analogues have a backbone of 1→3 linked structure, and they can be applied to study of the relationship between the induced resistance of plants to diseases by N-acetylchitooligosaccharides and the backbone structures.

Key words: N-Acetylchitooligosaccharide analogues, β-1,3-N-Acetamido-gluco-disaccharide, β-1,3-N-Acetamido-gluco-trisaccharide
