Although fungi have always been with us as commensals and pathogens, fungal infections
have been increasing in frequency over the past few decades. There is a growing body of …

The sequence, length and substitution of a polysaccharide influence its physical and
biological properties. Thus, sequence controlled polysaccharides are important targets to …

Glycosyl triflates, which serve as important intermediates in glycosylation reactions, were
generated and accumulated by the low-temperature electrochemical oxidation of …

A goal for an HIV-1 vaccine is to overcome virus variability by inducing broadly neutralizing
antibodies (bnAbs). One key target of bnAbs is the glycan-polypeptide at the base of the …

The first automated solution-phase synthesis of β-1, 4-mannuronate and β-1, 4-mannan
oligomers has been accomplished by using a β-directing C-5 carboxylate strategy. By …

The stereodirecting effect of a 3-O-acetyl protecting group, which is potentially capable of the
remote anchimeric participation, and other protecting groups in 2-O-benzyl glucosyl donors …

Synthesis of N‐glycans is of high current interests due to their important biological
properties. A highly efficient convergent strategy based on the pre‐activation method for …

Sulfoxides have emerged as pivotal constituents in modern carbohydrate chemistry. As
anomeric leaving groups, sulfinyl moieties may occupy positions directly at the anomeric …

An approach to the stereocontrolled synthesis of β-d-rhamnopyranosides is described in
which 2, 3-O-benzyl or related 4, 6-O-[α-(2-(2-iodophenyl) ethylthiocarbonyl) benzylidene] …

The synthesis of 11 oligosaccharides (4− 14) containing β-arabinofuranosyl residues is
reported. The glycans are all fragments of two polysaccharides, arabinogalactan and …
