Abstarct:

Ubiquitously decked on the surfaces of all cell types in nature, oligosaccharide molecules play central roles in the development, cooperation and vitality of an organism. Multitudinous approaches to make glycosidic bonds in a highly stereoselective manner have speedingly emerged for the last two decades. Nonetheless, an efficient and universal method to confidently synthesize various glycoconjugates have yet been established, especially one that is applicable for large scale and combinatorial chemistry. There are many reasons for the nascent state of carbohydrate researches, including the advent formation of new stereogenic center after every glycosylation step, the arduous characterization and purification thereafter, as well as the common expression of carbohydrate chains in a nonlinear, branched fashion. Extensive efforts are ongoing in our research group to overcome these challenges. Here, we present direct and reliable synthetic approaches that readily provides oligosaccharides and C-glycosides with not only exclusive anomeric stereoselectivity but also a wide range of derivatizations. Based on our synthetic expertise, we have developed new systems for sensing cellular proteins and events.
