Abstract
The enzyme-resistant thioglycosides are highly valuable immunogens because of their enhanced metabolic stability. We report the first synthesis of a family of thiooligosaccharides related to the capsular polysaccharides (CPS) of Campylobacter jejuni HS:4 for potential use in conjugate vaccines. The native CPS structures of the pathogen consist of a challenging repeating disaccharide formed with β(1→4)-linked 6-deoxy-β-D-ido-heptopyranoside and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine; the rare 6-deoxy-ido-heptopyranosyl backbone and β-anomeric configuration of the former monosaccharide makes the synthesis of this family of antigens very challenging. So far, no synthesis of the thioanalogs of the CPS antigens have been reported. The unprecedented synthesis presented in this work is built on an elegant approach by using β-glycosylthiolate as a glycosyl donor to open the 2,3-epoxide functionality of pre-designed 6-deoxy-β-D-talo-heptopyranosides. Our results illustrated that this key trans-thioglycosylation can be designed in a modular and regio and stereo-selective manner. Built on the success of this novel approach, we succeeded the synthesis of a family of thiooligosaccharides including a thiohexasaccharide which is considered to be the desired antigen length and complexity for immunizations. We also report the first direct conversion of base-stable but acid-labile 2-trimethylsilylethyl glycosides to glycosyl-1-thioacetates in a one-pot manner.

Abstract
Sulfur containing glycosides offer an exciting prospect for inclusion within noncanonical glycan sequences, particularly as enabling probes for chemical glycobiology and for carbohydrate-based therapeutic development. In this context, we required access to 4-thio-d-glucopyranose and sought its chemical synthesis. Unable to isolate this material in homogenous form, we observed instead a thermodynamic preference for interconversion of the pyranose to 4-thio-d-glucofuranose. Accordingly, we present an improved method to access both bis(4-thio-d-glucopyranoside)-4,4'-disulfide and 4-thio-d-glucofuranose from a single precursor, demonstrating that the latter compound can be accessed from the former using a dithiothreitol controlled reduction of the disulfide. The dithiothreitol-mediated interconversion between pyranose (monomer and disulfide) and furanose forms for this thiosugar is monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy over a 24-h period. Access to these materials will support accessing sulfur-containing mimetics of glucose and derivatives therefrom, such as sugar nucleotides.

Abstract
Galectins play relevant roles in tumor development, progression and metastasis. Accordingly, galectins are certainly enticing targets for medical intervention in cancer. To date, however, clinical trials based on galectin inhibitors reported inconclusive results. This review summarizes the galectin inhibitors currently being evaluated and discusses some of the biological challenges that need to be addressed to improve these strategies for the benefit of cancer patients.

Abstract
Azobenzene photoswitches are valuable tools for controlling properties of molecular systems with light. We have been investigating azobenzene glycoconjugates to probe carbohydrate‐protein interactions and to design glycoazobenzene macrocycles with chiroptical and physicochemical properties modulated by light irradiation. To date, direct conjugation of glycosides to azobenzenes was performed by reactions providing target compounds in limited yields. We therefore sought a more effective and reliable coupling method. In this paper, we report on a straightforward thioarylation of azobenzene derivatives with glycosyl thiols as well as other thiols, thereby increasing the scope of azobenzene conjugation. Even challenging unsymmetrical conjugates can be achieved in good yields via sequential or one‐pot procedures. Importantly, red‐shifted azoswitches, which are addressed with visible light, were easily functionalized. Additionally, by oxidation of the sulfide bridge to the respective sulfones, both the photochromic and the thermal relaxation properties of the core azobenzene can be tuned. Utilizing this option, we realized orthogonal three‐state photoswitching in mixtures containing two distinct azobenzene thioglycosides.

Abstract
Two important activities take place in the surface of Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease: the trans-sialidase (TcTS) catalyzes the transfer of sialic acid from the host glycoconjugates to the mucin-like glycoproteins from the parasite and the presence of lytic antibodies recognize the epitope α-Galp(1 → 3)-β-Galp(1 → 4)-α-GlcNAcp. This antigenic structure is known to be present in the parasite mucins; however, in order to be substrates of trans-sialidase, some of the galactose residues should be in the β-Galp configuration. To study the interaction between both activities, it is important to count the synthetic structures as well as the structural-related glycomimetics. With this purpose, we addressed the synthesis of a trisaccharide and two isomeric tetrasaccharides containing the 1-S-α-Galp(1 → 3)-β-Galp motif, the thio analog of the epitope recognized by lytic antibodies. Starting with a common lactose precursor, the sulfur function was incorporated by double inversion of the configuration of the galactose residue that was further glycosylated using different activated donors. Both tetrasaccharides were good acceptors of sialic acid in the reaction catalyzed by TcTS, as determined by high-performance anion exchange chromatography.

Abstract
A streamlined iterative assembly of thio-oligosaccharides was developed by aqueous glycosylation. Facile syntheses of various deoxythio sugars with the sulfur on different positions from commercially available starting materials were described. These syntheses featured efficient chemical methods including our recently reported BTM-catalyzed site-selective acylation. The resulting deoxythio sugars could then be used for the Ca(OH)2 -promoted protecting group-free S-glycosylation in water at room temperature. The aqueous glycosylation reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding 1,2-trans S-glycosides in good yields with high chemo- and stereoselectivity. An appropriate choice of protecting groups for the thiol in the glycosyl donor was necessary for the development of iterative synthesis of thio-oligosaccharides. The aqueous glycosylation was then applied to the synthesis of a trimannoside moiety of N-linked glycans core region.

Abstract
Small molecule irreversible inhibitors are valuable tools for determining catalytically important active-site residues and revealing key details of the specificity, structure, and function of glycoside hydrolases (GHs). β-glucans that contain backbone β(1,3) linkages are widespread in nature, e.g., mixed-linkage β(1,3)/β(1,4)-glucans in the cell walls of higher plants and β(1,3)glucans in yeasts and algae. Commensurate with this ubiquity, a large diversity of mixed-linkage endoglucanases (MLGases, EC 3.2.1.73) and endo-β(1,3)-glucanases (laminarinases, EC 3.2.1.39 and EC 3.2.1.6) have evolved to specifically hydrolyze these polysaccharides, respectively, in environmental niches including the human gut. To facilitate biochemical and structural analysis of these GHs, with a focus on MLGases, we present here the facile chemo-enzymatic synthesis of a library of active-site-directed enzyme inhibitors based on mixed-linkage oligosaccharide scaffolds and N-bromoacetylglycosylamine or 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglycoside warheads. The effectiveness and irreversibility of these inhibitors were tested with exemplar MLGases and an endo-β(1,3)-glucanase. Notably, determination of inhibitor-bound crystal structures of a human-gut microbial MLGase from Glycoside Hydrolase Family 16 revealed the orthogonal labeling of the nucleophile and catalytic acid/base residues with homologous 2-fluoro-2-deoxyglycoside and N-bromoacetylglycosylamine inhibitors, respectively. We anticipate that the selectivity of these inhibitors will continue to enable the structural and mechanistic analyses of β-glucanases from diverse sources and protein families.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats to human health that, by 2050, will lead to more deaths from bacterial infections than cancer. New antimicrobial agents, both broad-spectrum and selective, that do not induce AMR are urgently required. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a novel class of alternatives that possess potent activity against a wide range of Gram-negative and positive bacteria with little or no capacity to induce AMR. This has stimulated substantial chemical development of novel peptide-based antibiotics possessing improved therapeutic index. This review summarises recent synthetic efforts and their impact on analogue design as well as their various applications in AMP development. It includes modifications that have been reported to enhance antimicrobial activity including lipidation, glycosylation and multimerization through to the broad application of novel bio-orthogonal chemistry, as well as perspectives on the direction of future research. The subject area is primarily the development of next-generation antimicrobial agents through selective, rational chemical modification of AMPs. The review further serves as a guide toward the most promising directions in this field to stimulate broad scientific attention, and will lead to new, effective and selective solutions for the several biomedical challenges to which antimicrobial peptidomimetics are being applied.

Abstract
Attachment of sugars to nitrogen and oxygen in peptides is ubiquitous in biology, but glycosylation of sulfur atoms has only been recently described. Here, we characterize two S-glycosyltransferases SunS and ThuS that selectively glycosylate one of five Cys residues in their substrate peptides; substitution of this Cys with Ser results in a strong decrease in glycosylation activity. Crystal structures of SunS and ThuS in complex with UDP-glucose or a derivative reveal an unusual architecture in which a glycosyltransferase type A (GTA) fold is decorated with additional domains to support homodimerization. Dimer formation creates an extended cavity for the substrate peptide, drawing functional analogy with O-glycosyltransferases involved in cell wall biosynthesis. This extended cavity contains a sharp bend that may explain the site selectivity of the glycosylation because the target Cys is in a Gly-rich stretch that can accommodate the bend. These studies establish a molecular framework for understanding the unusual S-glycosyltransferases.

Abstract
There is a vast genomic resource for enzymes active on carbohydrates. Lagging far behind, however, are functional chemical tools for the rapid characterization of carbohydrate-active enzymes. Activity-based probes (ABPs) offer one chemical solution to these issues with ABPs based upon cyclophellitol epoxide and aziridine covalent and irreversible inhibitors representing a potent and widespread approach. Such inhibitors for enzymes active on polysaccharides are potentially limited by the requirement for several glycosidic bonds, themselves substrates for the enzyme targets. Here, it is shown that non-hydrolysable trisaccharide can be synthesized and applied even to enzymes with challenging subsite requirements. It was found that incorporation of carbasugar moieties, which was accomplished by cuprate-assisted regioselective trans-diaxial epoxide opening of carba-mannal synthesised for this purpose, yields inactivators that act as powerful activity-based inhibitors for α-1,6 endo-mannanases. 3-D structures at 1.35-1.47 Å resolutions confirm the design rationale and binding to the enzymatic nucleophile. Carbasugar oligosaccharide cyclophellitols offer a powerful new approach for the design of robust endoglycosidase inhibitors, while the synthesis procedures presented here should allow adaptation towards activity-based endoglycosidase probes as well as configurational isosteres targeting other endoglycosidase families.

Abstract
A facile and green S-glycosylation method has been developed featuring protecting-group-free and proceeding-in-water like enzymatic synthesis. Glycosylation of fluoride donors with thiol sugar acceptors using Ca(OH)2 as a promoter afforded various thioglycosides in good yields with exclusive stereoselectivity. This method also enabled the successful production of S-linked oligosaccharides and S-linked glycopeptides.

Abstract
Oligomannose glycans are of interest as HIV vaccine components, but they are subject to mannosidase degradation in vivo. Herein, we report the synthesis of oligosaccharides containing a thio linkage at the nonreducing end. A thio-linked dimannose donor participates in highly stereoselective glycosylations to afford trimannose and tetramannose fragments. Saturation transfer difference nuclear magnetic resonance (STD NMR) studies show that these glycans are recognized by HIV antibody 2G12, and we confirm that the reducing terminal S-linkage confers complete stability against x. manihotis mannosidase.

Abstract
While the global market for peptide/protein-based therapeutics is witnessing significant growth, the development of peptide drugs remains challenging due to their low oral bioavailability, poor membrane permeability, and reduced metabolic stability. However, a toolbox of chemical approaches has been explored for peptide modification to overcome these obstacles. In recent years, there has been a revival of interest in photoinduced radical thiol-ene chemistry as a powerful tool for the construction of therapeutic peptides.

Abstract
Functional pairing between cellular glycoconjugates and tissue lectins like galectins has wide (patho)physiological significance. Their study is facilitated by nonhydrolysable derivatives of the natural O‐glycans, such as S‐ and Se‐glycosides. The latter enable extensive analyses by specific 77Se NMR spectroscopy, but still remain underexplored. By using the example of selenodigalactoside (SeDG) and the human galectin‐1 and ‐3, we have evaluated diverse 77Se NMR detection methods and propose selective 1H,77Se heteronuclear Hartmann–Hahn transfer for efficient use in competitive NMR screening against a selenoglycoside spy ligand. By fluorescence anisotropy, circular dichroism, and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), we show that the affinity and thermodynamics of SeDG binding by galectins are similar to thiodigalactoside (TDG) and N‐acetyllactosamine (LacNAc), confirming that Se substitution has no major impact. ITC data in D2O versus H2O are similar for TDG and LacNAc binding by both galectins, but a solvent effect, indicating solvent rearrangement at the binding site, is hinted at for SeDG and clearly observed for LacNAc dimers with extended chain length.

Abstract
Based on 6,7-substituted 2,5,8-trihydroxy-1,4-naphtoquinones (1,4-NQs) derived from sea urchins, five new acetyl-O-glucosides of NQs were prepared. A new method of conjugation of per-O-acetylated 1-mercaptosaccharides with 2-hydroxy-1,4-NQs through a methylene spacer was developed. Methylation of 2-hydroxy group of quinone core of acetylthiomethylglycosides by diazomethane and deacetylation of sugar moiety led to 28 new thiomethylglycosidesof 2-hydroxy- and 2-methoxy-1,4-NQs. The cytotoxic activity of starting 1,4-NQs (13 compounds) and their O- and S-glycoside derivatives (37 compounds) was determined by the MTT method against Neuro-2a mouse neuroblastoma cells. Cytotoxic compounds with EC50 = 2.7-87.0 μM and nontoxic compounds with EC50 > 100 μM were found. Acetylated O- and S-glycosides 1,4-NQs were the most potent, with EC50 = 2.7-16.4 μM. Methylation of the 2-OH group innaphthoquinone core led to a sharp increase in the cytotoxic activity of acetylated thioglycosidesof NQs, which was partially retained for their deacetylated derivatives. Thiomethylglycosides of 2-hydroxy-1,4-NQs with OH and MeO groups in quinone core at positions 6 and 7, resprectively formed a nontoxic set of compounds with EC50 > 100 μM. A quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model of cytotoxic activity of 22 1,4-NQ derivatives was constructed and tested. Descriptors related to the cytotoxic activity of new 1,4-NQ derivatives were determined. The QSAR model is good at predicting the activity of 1,4-NQ derivatives which are unused for QSAR models and nontoxic derivatives.

Abstract
Carbohydrate-lectin interactions are involved in important cellular recognition processes, including viral and bacterial infections, inflammation and tumor metastasis. Hence, structural studies of lectin-synthetic glycan complexes are essential for understanding lectin-recognition processes and for the further design of promising chemotherapeutics that interfere with sugar-lectin interactions. Plant lectins are excellent models for the study of the molecular-recognition process. Among them, peanut lectin (PNA) is highly relevant in the field of glycobiology because of its specificity for β-galactosides, showing high affinity towards the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen, a well known tumor-associated carbohydrate antigen. Given this specificity, PNA is one of the most frequently used molecular probes for the recognition of tumor cell-surface O-glycans. Thus, it has been extensively used in glycobiology for inhibition studies with a variety of β-galactoside and β-lactoside ligands. Here, crystal structures of PNA are reported in complex with six novel synthetic hydrolytically stable β-N- and β-S-galactosides. These complexes disclosed key molecular-binding interactions of the different sugars with PNA at the atomic level, revealing the roles of specific water molecules in protein-ligand recognition. Furthermore, binding-affinity studies by isothermal titration calorimetry showed dissociation-constant values in the micromolar range, as well as a positive multivalency effect in terms of affinity in the case of the divalent compounds. Taken together, this work provides a qualitative structural rationale for the upcoming synthesis of optimized glycoclusters designed for the study of lectin-mediated biological processes. The understanding of the recognition of β-N- and β-S-galactosides by PNA represents a benchmark in protein-carbohydrate interactions since they are novel synthetic ligands that do not belong to the family of O-linked glycosides.

Abstract
While strategies involving a 2e- transfer pathway have dictated glycosylation development, the direct glycosylation of readily accessible glycosyl donors as radical precursors is particularly appealing because of high radical anomeric selectivity and atom- and step-economy. However, the development of the radical process has been challenging owing to notorious competing reduction, elimination and/or SN side reactions of commonly used, labile glycosyl donors. Here we introduce an organophotocatalytic strategy through which glycosyl bromides can be efficiently converted into corresponding anomeric radicals by photoredox mediated HAT catalysis without a transition metal or a directing group and achieve highly anomeric selectivity. The power of this platform has been demonstrated by the mild reaction conditions enabling the synthesis of challenging α-1,2-cis-thioglycosides, the tolerance of various functional groups and the broad substrate scope for both common pentoses and hexoses. Furthermore, this general approach is compatible with both sp2 and sp3 sulfur electrophiles and late-stage glycodiversification for a total of 50 substrates probed.

Abstract
One of the main factors limiting the effectiveness of many drugs is the difficulty of their delivery to their target site in the cell and achieving the desired therapeutic dose. Moreover, the accumulation of the drug in healthy tissue can lead to serious side effects. The way to improve the selectivity of a drug to the cancer cells seems to be its conjugation with a sugar molecule, which should facilitate its selective transport through GLUT transporters (glucose transporters), whose overexpression is seen in some types of cancer. This was the idea behind the synthesis of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) derivative glycoconjugates, for which 1-thiosugar derivatives were used as sugar moiety donors. It was expected that the introduction of a sulfur atom instead of an oxygen atom into the anomeric position of the sugar would increase the stability of the obtained glycoconjugates against untimely hydrolytic cleavage. The anticancer activity of new compounds was determined based on the results of the MTT cytotoxicity tests. Because of the assumption that the activity of this type of compounds was based on metal ion chelation, the effect of the addition of copper ions on cell proliferation was tested for some of them. It turned out that cancer cells treated with glycoconjugates in the presence of Cu2+ had a much slower growth rate compared to cells treated with free glycoconjugates in the absence of copper. The highest cytotoxic activity of the compounds was observed against the MCF-7 cell line.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis of calix[4]resorcinarene-based multivalent ligands bearing β-S-GlcNAc and β-S-AllNAc recognition elements. A clickable β-S-AllNAc derivative was successfully prepared from a β-thioalkynyl GlcNAc precursor, making use of a 2,3-oxazoline intermediate, easily formed by intramolecular displacement of a triflate group located at the 3-position by the 2-N-acetate group. By reaction of these alkynyl-functionalized derivatives with an octaazido-calix[4]resorcinarene macrocycle having undecyl chains, two octavalent glycoclusters exposing the epimeric N-acetylhexosamines were obtained. In addition, a related calix[4]resorcinarene-based glycocluster having methyl groups instead of undecyl chains and β-S-GlcNAc residues was also synthesized. After an initial evaluation of the interaction of the undecyl-functionalized β-S-GlcNAc octavalent derivative with Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA) by a turbidimetry experiment, the interaction of the three synthesized glycoclusters towards WGA was studied by Isothermal Titration Calorimetry. The results showed a favorable effect due to the presence of the undecyl chains in terms of affinity. Surprisingly, the β-S-AllNAc octavalent compound showed the highest affinity among the evaluated glycoclusters, showing for the first time that WGA interacts with β-AllNAc-bearing ligands. Molecular docking studies of β-AllNAc with WGA in comparison with β-GlcNAc contributed to the understanding of the atomic interactions responsible for this unexpected affinity.

Abstract
Thioglycosides and C-glycosides represent pharmacologically useful classes of glycomimetics that possess a high degree of biological stability. One emerging tool for the stereoselective synthesis of thioglycosides is the photoinitiated addition of thiols to unsaturated sugars. Moreover, thiyl radical-mediated reactions of exo-glycals and 1-substituted endo-glycals offer facile routes to β-C-glycosidic structures. This Concept article summarizes the thiol-ene coupling strategies developed recently by our group and Somsák's group for the synthesis of several kinds of glycomimetics which are difficult to synthesize by conventional methods. One unusual characteristic of the thiol-ene reactions of endo-glycals is that heating inhibits, whereas cooling promotes the reaction. This unique temperature dependence as well as the effects of the enose structures and thiol configurations on the efficacy and stereoselectivity of the reactions are also discussed.

Abstract
The phenomenon of high sugar consumption by tumor cells is known as Warburg effect. It results from a high glycolysis rate, used by tumors as preferred metabolic pathway even in aerobic conditions. Targeting the Warburg effect to specifically deliver sugar conjugated cytotoxic compounds into tumor cells is a promising approach to create new selective drugs. We designed, synthesized, and analyzed a library of novel 6-S-(1,4-naphthoquinone-2-yl)-d-glucose chimera molecules (SABs)—novel sugar conjugates of 1,4-naphthoquinone analogs of the sea urchin pigments spinochromes, which have previously shown anticancer properties. A sulfur linker (thioether bond) was used to prevent potential hydrolysis by human glycoside-unspecific enzymes. The synthesized compounds exhibited a Warburg effect mediated selectivity to human prostate cancer cells (including highly drug-resistant cell lines). Mitochondria were identified as a primary cellular target of SABs. The mechanism of action included mitochondria membrane permeabilization, followed by ROS upregulation and release of cytotoxic mitochondrial proteins (AIF and cytochrome C) to the cytoplasm, which led to the consequent caspase-9 and -3 activation, PARP cleavage, and apoptosis-like cell death. These results enable us to further clinically develop these compounds for effective Warburg effect targeting.

Abstract
S-Glycosides are important tools for the elucidation of specific protein-carbohydrate interactions and can significantly aid structural and functional studies of carbohydrate-active enzymes, as they are often inert or act as enzyme inhibitors. In this context, this work focuses on the introduction of an S-linkage into arabinoxylan oligosaccharides (AXs) in order to obtain a small collection of synthetic tools for the study of AXs degrading enzymes. The key step for the introduction of the S-glycosidic linkage involved anomeric thiol S-alkylation of an orthogonally protected l-arabinopyranoside triflate. The resulting S-linked disaccharide was subsequently employed in a series of glycosylation reactions to obtain a selectively protected tetrasaccharide. This could be further elaborated through chemoselective deprotection and glycosylation reactions to introduce branching l-arabinofuranosides.

Abstract
The photoinitiated thiol-ene addition reaction is a highly stereo- and regioselective, and environmentally friendly reaction proceeding under mild conditions, hence it is ideally suited for the synthesis of carbohydrate mimetics. A comprehensive study on UV-light-induced reactions of 2,3-unsaturated O-, C-, S- and N-glycosides with various thiols was performed. The effect of experimental parameters and structural variations of the alkenes and thiols on the efficacy and regio- and stereoselectivity of the reactions was systematically studied and optimized. The type of anomeric heteroatom was found to profoundly affect the reactivity of 2,3-unsaturated sugars in the thiol-ene couplings. Hydrothiolation of 2,3-dideoxy O-glycosyl enosides efficiently produced the axially C2-S-substituted addition products with high to complete regioselectivity. Moderate efficacy and varying regio- and stereoselectivity were observed with 2,3-unsaturated N-glycosides and no addition occurred onto the endocyclic double bond of C-glycosides. Upon hydrothiolation of 2,3-unsaturated S-glycosides, the addition of thiyl radicals was followed by elimination of the thiyl aglycone resulting in 3-S-substituted glycals.

Abstract
Oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates are abundant in all living organisms, taking part in a multitude of biological processes. The application of natural O-glycosides in biological studies and drug development is limited by their sensitivity to enzymatic hydrolysis. This issue made it necessary to design hydrolytically stable carbohydrate mimetics, where sulfur, carbon, or longer interglycosidic connections comprising two or three atoms replace the glycosidic oxygen. However, the formation of the interglycosidic linkages between the sugar residues in high diastereoslectivity poses a major challenge. Here, we report on stereoselective synthesis of carbon-sulfur-bridged disaccharide mimetics by the free radical addition of carbohydrate thiols onto the exo-cyclic double bond of unsaturated sugars. A systematic study on UV-light initiated radical mediated hydrothiolation reactions of enoses bearing an exocyclic double bond at C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 positions of the pyranosyl ring with various sugar thiols was performed. The effect of temperature and structural variations of the alkenes and thiols on the efficacy and stereoselectivity of the reactions was systematically studied and optimized. The reactions proceeded with high efficacy and, in most cases, with complete diastereoselectivity producing a broad array of disaccharide mimetics coupling through an equatorially oriented methylensulfide bridge.

Abstract
The syntheses of β-S-GlcA(1→3)GlcNAc and β-S-Gal(1→3)GlcNAc thiodisaccharides, which can be considered mimetics of the repeating units of hyaluronan and keratan respectively, were achieved by SN2 displacement of a triflate group allocated at the 3-position of a convenient 2-azido-4,6-O-benzylidene-2-deoxy-β-d-allopyranose precursor by the corresponding nucleophilic suitable protected thioaldoses derived from glucuronic acid (GlcA) and galactose (Gal). The study of the reaction led to the finding that the vinyl azide formed by competitive E2 reaction of the mentioned triflate was an interesting precursor of a new kind of 2,3-dideoxy-2-azido-(1→2) thiodisaccharides through an addition reaction. Determination of the stereochemistry of the new stereocenter at C-2 was achieved by NOESY experiments. Final protecting group manipulation of the (1→3) thiodisaccharides led to a family of derivatives that could be used as building blocks for the synthesis of complex glycomimetics.

Abstract
A comprehensive optimization and mechanistic study on the photoinduced hydrothiolation of different d- and l- hexo- and pentoglycals with various thiols was performed, at the temperature range of RT to -120 °C. Addition of thiols onto 2-substituted hexoglycals proceeded with complete 1,2-cis-α-stereoselectivity in all cases. Hydrothiolation of 2-substituted pentoglycals resulted in mixtures of 1,2-cis-α- and -β-thioglycosides of varying ratio depending on the configuration of the reactants. Hydrothiolation of unsubstituted glycals at -80 °C proceeded with excellent yields and, except for galactal, provided the axially C2-S-linked isomers with high selectivity. Cooling was always beneficial to the efficacy, increased the yields and in most cases significantly raised the stereoselectivity. The suggested mechanism explains the different conformational preferences of the intermediate carbon-centered radicals, which is a crucial factor in the stereoselectivity of the reactions.

Abstract
Chemoenzymatic synthesis of glycosides relies on efficient glycosyl donor substrates able to react rapidly and efficiently, yet with increased stability towards chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis. In this context, glycosyl thioimidates have previously been used as efficient donors, in the case of hydrolysis or thioglycoligation. In both cases, the release of the thioimidoyl aglycone was remotely activated through a protonation driven by a carboxylic residue in the active site of the corresponding enzymes. A recombinant glucosidase (DtGly) from Dictyoglomus themophilum, previously used in biocatalysis, was also able to use such glycosyl thioimidates as substrates. Yet, enzymatic kinetic values analysis, coupled to mutagenesis and in silico modelling of DtGly/substrate complexes demonstrated that the release of the thioimidoyl moiety during catalysis is only driven by its leaving group ability, without the activation of a remote protonation. In the search of efficient glycosyl donors, glycosyl thioimidates are attractive and efficient. Their utility, however, is limited to enzymes able to promote leaving group release by remote activation.

Abstract
Thioglycosides are hydrolase‐resistant mimics of O‐linked glycosides that can serve as valuable probes for studying the role of glycosides in biological processes. The development of an efficient, enzyme‐mediated synthesis of thioglycosides, including S‐GlcNAcylated proteins, is reported, using a thioglycoligase derived from a GH20 hexosaminidase from Streptomyces plicatus in which the catalytic acid/base glutamate has been mutated to an alanine (SpHex E314A). This robust, easily‐prepared, engineered enzyme uses GlcNAc and GalNAc donors and couples them to a remarkably diverse set of thiol acceptors. Thioglycoligation using 3‐, 4‐, and 6‐thiosugar acceptors from a variety of sugar families produces S‐linked disaccharides in nearly quantitative yields. The set of possible thiol acceptors also includes cysteine‐containing peptides and proteins, rendering this mutant enzyme a promising catalyst for the production of thio analogues of biologically important GlcNAcylated peptides and proteins.

Abstract
We describe herein a Pd-catalyzed methodology for the thioglycoconjugation of iodoaryl peptides and aminoacids. This operationally simple process occurs under semi-aqueous conditions and displays wide substrate scope. The strategy has been successfully applied to both the thioglycosylation of unprotected peptides and the generation of thioglyco-aminoacid building blocks, including those suitable for solid phase peptide synthesis. To demonstrate the broad potential of this technique for late stage functionalization, we successfully incorporated challenging unprotected β-S-GlcNAc- and α-S-GalNAc-derivatives into very long unprotected peptides. This study opens the way to new applications in chemical biology, considering the well-recognized advantages of S-glycosides over O-glycosides in terms of resistance towards both enzymatic and chemical degradation.
