A general method for alpha-selective glycosylation with 5-thioglucopyranosyl donors followed by efficient deprotection of the resulting products was developed. This methodology was utilized in the synthesis of an isomaltotetraoside analogue.

We report here a new catalytic method for exclusively 1,2--α-selective glycosylation that assembles a wide variety of 1,2--aminoglycosidic linkages in complex glycans and glycoconjugates. Mechanistic studies revealed a unique glycosylation mechanism in which the iron catalyst activates a glycosyl acceptor and an oxidant when it facilitates the cooperative atom transfer of both moieties to a glycosyl donor in an exclusively -selective manner. This catalytic approach is effective for a broad range of glycosyl donors and acceptors, and it can be operated in a reiterative fashion and scaled up to the multigram scale.

The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is a major virulence factor of the pathogenic and a promising target for vaccine development. However, the synthesis of the 1,2--2-amino-2-deoxyglycoside core of CPS remains challenging to date. Here we develop a highly α-selective ZnI-mediated 1,2- 2-azido-2-deoxy chemical glycosylation strategy using 2-azido-2-deoxy glucosyl donors equipped with various 4,6--tethered groups.

Lipophosphoglycans (LPGs) are found on the surface of Leishmania, a protozoan parasite, and are immunologically important. Herein, disaccharide 1-phosphate repeating units of LPGs were successfully synthesized on a solid support with high anomeric purity using a disaccharide α-1-phosphoramidite building block. To enhance solubility in the reaction solvent, hydroxy-protecting groups in the form of para-t-butylbenzoyl were introduced to the building block.

The utility of unconventional noncovalent interactions (NCIs) such as chalcogen bonding has lately emerged as a robust platform to access synthetically difficult glycosides stereoselectively. Herein, we disclose the versatility of a phosphonochalcogenide (PCH) catalyst to facilitate access into the challenging, but biologically interesting 7-membered ring α,α'-C-disubstituted oxepane core through an α-selective strain-release C-glycosylation. Methodically, this strategy represents a switch from more common but entropically less desired macrocyclizations to a thermodynamically favored ring-expansion approach.

Stereocontrolled synthesis of rare sugar derivatives, namely α-d-allulofuranosides, was achieved using d-fructose, one of the most abundant carbohydrates in nature. The following are the key steps of the α-d-allulofuranosides' synthesis. (1) An α-selective glycosidation reaction of 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoylated d-fructofuranosyl donor to obtain α-d-fructofuranosides with 98 %-75 % isolated yields.
