Abstract
![]()
A detailed
understanding of the reaction mechanism(s) leading to
stereoselective product formation is crucial to understanding and
predicting product formation and driving the development of new synthetic
methodology. One way to improve our understanding of reaction mechanisms
is to characterize the reaction intermediates involved in product
formation. Because these intermediates are reactive, they are often
unstable and therefore difficult to characterize using experimental
techniques. For example, glycosylation reactions are critical steps
in the chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides and need to be stereoselective
to provide the desired α- or β-diastereomer. It remains
challenging to predict and control the stereochemical outcome of glycosylation
reactions, and their reaction mechanisms remain a hotly debated topic.
In most cases, glycosylation reactions take place via reaction mechanisms
in the continuum between SN1- and SN2-like pathways.
SN2-like pathways proceeding via the displacement of a
contact ion pair are relatively well understood because the reaction
intermediates involved can be characterized by low-temperature NMR
spectroscopy. In contrast, the SN1-like pathways proceeding
via the solvent-separated ion pair, also known as the glycosyl cation,
are poorly understood. SN1-like pathways are more challenging
to investigate because the glycosyl cation intermediates involved
are highly reactive. The highly reactive nature of glycosyl cations
complicates their characterization because they have a short lifetime
and rapidly equilibrate with the corresponding contact ion pair. To
overcome this hurdle and enable the study of glycosyl cation stability
and structure, they can be generated in a mass spectrometer in the
absence of a solvent and counterion in the gas phase. The ease of
formation, stability, and fragmentation of glycosyl cations have been
studied using mass spectrometry (MS). However, MS alone provides little
information about the structure of glycosyl cations. By combining
mass spectrometry (MS) with infrared ion spectroscopy (IRIS), the
determination of the gas-phase structures of glycosyl cations has
been achieved. IRIS enables the recording of gas-phase infrared spectra
of glycosyl cations, which can be assigned by matching to reference
spectra predicted from quantum chemically calculated vibrational spectra.
Here, we review the experimental setups that enable IRIS of glycosyl
cations and discuss the various glycosyl cations that have been characterized
to date. The structure of glycosyl cations depends on the relative
configuration and structure of the monosaccharide substituents, which
can influence the structure through both steric and electronic effects.
The scope and relevance of gas-phase glycosyl cation structures in
relation to their corresponding condensed-phase structures are also
discussed. We expect that the workflow reviewed here to study glycosyl
cation structure and reactivity can be extended to many other reaction
types involving difficult-to-characterize ionic intermediates.

Abstract
The anomeric configuration can greatly affect the biological functions and activities of carbohydrates. Herein, we report that N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidoyl (PTFAI), a well-known leaving group for catalytic glycosylation, can act as a stereodirecting group for the challenging 1,2-cis α-glycosylation. Utilizing rapidly accessible 1,6-di-OPTFAI glycosyl donors, TMSOTf-catalyzed glycosylation occurred with excellent α-selectivity and broad substrate scope, and the remaining 6-OPTFAI group can be cleaved chemoselectively. The remote participation of 6-OPTFAI is supported by the first characterization of the crucial 1,6-bridged bicyclic oxazepinium ion intermediates by low-temperature NMR spectroscopy. These cations were found to be relatively stable and mainly responsible for the present stereoselectivities. Further application is highlighted in glycosylation reactions toward trisaccharide heparins as well as the convergent synthesis of chacotriose derivatives using a bulky 2,4-di-O-glycosylated donor.

Abstract
Low-temperature NMR studies with a 4-C-methyl-4-O-benzoyl galactopyranosyl donor enable the observation and characterization of a bridged bicyclic dioxacarbenium ion arising from participation by a distal ester. Variable-temperature NMR studies reveal this bridged ion to decompose at temperatures above ≈-30 °C. In the absence of the methyl group, the formation of a bicyclic ion is not observed. It is concluded that participation by typical secondary distal esters in glycosylation reactions is disfavored in the ground state conformation of the ester from which it is stereoelectronically impossible. Methylation converts the secondary ester to a conformationally more labile tertiary ester, removes this barrier, and renders participation more favorable. Nevertheless, the minor changes in selectivity in model glycosylation reactions on going from the secondary to the tertiary esters at both low and room temperature argue against distal group participation being a major stereodirecting factor even for the tertiary system.

Abstract
The efficient synthesis of long, branched, and complex carbohydrates containing multiple 1,2-cis glycosidic linkages is a long-standing challenge. Here, we report a merging reagent modulation and 6-O-levulinoyl remote anchimeric assistance glycosylation strategy, which is successfully applied to the first highly stereoselective synthesis of the branched Dendrobium Huoshanense glycans and the linear Longan glycans containing up to 30 contiguous 1,2-cis glucosidic bonds. DFT calculations shed light on the origin of the much higher stereoselectivities of 1,2-cis glucosylation with 6-O-levulinoyl group than 6-O-acetyl or 6-O-benzoyl groups. Orthogonal one-pot glycosylation strategy based on glycosyl ortho-alkynylbenzoates and ortho-(1-phenylvinyl)benzoates has been demonstrated in the efficient synthesis of complex glycans, precluding such issues as aglycon transfer inherent to orthogonal one-pot synthesis based on thioglycosides.

Abstract
The gut pathogen Clostridium bolteae has been associated with the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). To create vaccines against C. bolteae, it is important to identify exact protective epitopes of the immunologically active capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Here, a series of C. bolteae CPS glycans, up to an octadecasaccharide, was prepared. Key to achieving the total syntheses is a [2+2] coupling strategy based on a β-d-Rhap-(1→3)-α-d-Manp repeating unit that in turn was accessed by a stereoselective β-d-rhamnosylation. The 4,6-O-benzylidene-induced conformational locking is a powerful strategy for forming a β-d-mannose-type glycoside. An indirect strategy based on C2 epimerization of β-d-quinovoside was efficiently achieved by Swern oxidation and borohydride reduction. Sequential glycosylation, and regioselective and global deprotection produced the disaccharide and tetrasaccharide, up to the octadecasaccharide. Glycan microarray analysis of sera from rabbits immunized with inactivated C. bolteae bacteria revealed a humoral immune response to the di- and tetrasaccharide, but none of the longer sequences. The tetrasaccharide may be a key motif for designing glycoconjugate vaccines against C. bolteae.

Abstract
Glycoproteins and their mimics are challenging to produce because of their large number of polysaccharide side chains that form a densely grafted protein-polysaccharide brush architecture. Herein a new approach to protein bioconjugate synthesis is demonstrated that can approach the functionalization densities of natural glycoproteins through oligosaccharide grafting. Global amino acid substitution is used to replace the methionine residues in a methionine-enriched elastin-like polypeptide with homopropargylglycine (HPG); the substitution was found to replace 93% of the 41 methionines in the protein sequence as well as broaden and increase the thermoresponsive transition. A series of saccharides were conjugated to the recombinant protein backbones through copper(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition to determine reactivity trends, with 83-100% glycosylation of HPGs. Only an acetyl-protected sialyllactose moiety showed a lower level of 42% HPG glycosylation that is attributed to steric hindrance. The recombinant glycoproteins reproduced the key biofunctional properties of their natural counterparts such as viral inhibition and lectin binding.

Abstract
![]()
Stereoselective glycosylation remains
the main challenge in the
chemical synthesis of oligosaccharides. Herein we report a simple
method to convert thioglycosides into β-sulfonium ions via an
intramolecular alkylation reaction, leading to highly α-selective
glycosylations for a variety of glycosyl acceptors. The influence
of the thioglycoside substituent and the protecting group pattern
on the glycosyl donor was investigated and showed a clear correlation
with the observed stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Stereoselective β-mannosylation has been recognized as one of the greatest challenges of carbohydrate chemistry. Herein, we described a practical method for stereoselective construction of β-mannosides by using a 2,6-lactone-bridged thiomannosyl donor through the remote acyl-group participation as well as the steric effect of O-4 substituent. The two effects are enabled through the conversion of a regular mannopyranosyl 4 C1 conformation into a 2,6-lactone bridged conformation. The lactone donor could be readily prepared in three steps on a gram scale and the β-mannosylation proceeded smoothly with high stereoselectivity for primary, secondary and tertiary alcohol acceptors. In addition, this strategy was successfully applied to the synthesis of a naturally occurring trisaccharide.

Abstract
Due to the wide presence of carbohydrates in nature and their crucial roles in numerous important biological processes, oligosaccharides have attracted a lot of attention in synthetic organic chemistry community. Many innovative synthetic methods have been developed for oligosaccharide synthesis, among which the pre-activation based glycosylation is particularly noteworthy. Traditionally, glycosylation reactions are carried out when the glycosyl donor and the acceptor are both present when the promoter is added. In comparison, the pre-activation based glycosylation is unique, where the glycosyl donor is activated by the promoter in the absence of the acceptor. Upon complete donor activation, the acceptor is added to the reaction mixture enabling glycosylation. The key step in any oligosaccharide synthesis is the stereoselective formation of the glycosidic bond. As donor activation and acceptor glycosylation are temporally separated, pre-activation based glycosylation can bestow unique stereochemical control. This review systematically discusses factors impacting the stereochemical outcome of a pre-activation based glycosylation reaction including substituents on the glycosyl donor, reaction solvent, and additives. Applications of pre-activation based stereoselective glycosylation in assembly of complex oligosaccharides are also discussed.
