Abstract
A recent discovery of a cooperative catalysis comprising a silver salt and an acid led to a dramatic improvement in the way glycosyl halides are glycosidated. Excellent yields have been achieved, but the stereoselectivity achieved with 2-O-benzylated donors was poor. Reported herein is our first attempt to refine the stereoselectivity of the cooperatively catalyzed galactosylation reaction. Careful optimization of the reaction conditions along with studying effects of the remote protecting groups led to excellent stereocontrol of α-galactosylation of a variety of glycosyl acceptors with differentially protected galactosyl donors.

Abstract
Reliable glycosylation reactions that allow for the stereo- and regioselective installation of glycosidic linkages are paramount to the chemical synthesis of glycan chains. The stereoselectivity of glycosylations is exceedingly difficult to control due to the reaction's high degree of sensitivity and its shifting, simultaneous mechanistic pathways that are controlled by variables of unknown degree of influence, dominance, or interdependency. An automated platform was devised to quickly, reproducibly, and systematically screen glycosylations and thereby address this fundamental problem. Thirteen variables were investigated in as isolated a manner as possible, to identify and quantify inherent preferences of electrophilic glycosylating agents (glycosyl donors) and nucleophiles (glycosyl acceptors). Ways to enhance, suppress, or even override these preferences using judicious environmental conditions were discovered. Glycosylations involving two specific partners can be tuned to produce either 11:1 selectivity of one stereoisomer or 9:1 of the other by merely changing the reaction conditions.

Abstract
The preparation of a series of mannopyranosyl donors carrying 2-O-(2-oxoalkyl) ethers and their use in glycosylation reactions are described. The formation of cyclic products with the simple 2-O-phenacyl ether and with the 2-O-(t-butoxycarbonylmethyl) ether establishes the stereoelectronic feasibility of participation in such systems. The high β-selectivities observed with the bis-trifluoromethyl phenacyl ether indicate that participation can be suppressed through the introduction of electron-withdrawing substituents. The high β-selectivities and absence of cyclic products observed with the 2-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl) ether exclude the effective participation of esters through six-membered cyclic intermediates in this series. The results are discussed in terms of the conformation of cyclic dioxenium ions (E,E-, E,Z-, or Z,Z-) and in the context of "neighboring group" participation by nonvicinal esters in glycosylation. Methods for the deprotection of the 2-O-phenacyl and 2-O-(methoxycarbonylmethyl) ethers are described.

Abstract
Mycobacteria synthesize unique intracellular methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLP) proposed to modulate fatty acid metabolism. In addition to the partial esterification of glucose or methylglucose units with short-chain fatty acids, octanoate was invariably detected on the MGLP reducing end. We have identified a novel sugar octanoyltransferase (OctT) that efficiently transfers octanoate to glucosylglycerate (GG) and diglucosylglycerate (DGG), the earliest intermediates in MGLP biosynthesis. Enzymatic studies, synthetic chemistry, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry approaches suggest that, in contrast to the prevailing consensus, octanoate is not esterified to the primary hydroxyl group of glycerate but instead to the C6 OH of the second glucose in DGG. These observations raise important new questions about the MGLP reducing end architecture and about subsequent biosynthetic steps. Functional characterization of this unique octanoyltransferase, whose gene has been proposed to be essential for M. tuberculosis growth, adds new insights into a vital mycobacterial pathway, which may inspire new drug discovery strategies.

Abstract
The solute pool of the actinobacterium Rubrobacter xylanophilus has been investigated as a function of the growth temperature and concentration of NaCl in the medium (Empadinhas et al. Extremophiles 11: 667-673, 2007). Changing the carbon source from glucose to maltose in a minimal growth medium led to the accumulation of an unknown organic compound whose structure was investigated by NMR and confirmed by chemical synthesis in the present study as: (2R)-2-(1-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl)-3-(1-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glycerate (MGlyG). In addition to this newly identified diglycoside, the solute pool of R. xylanophilus included trehalose, mannosylglycerate, di-myo-inositol phosphate and di-N-acetyl-glucosamine phosphate. The structure of MGlyG was established by NMR and confirmed by chemical synthesis. The availability of g-amounts of the synthetic material allowed us to perform stabilization tests on three model enzymes (malate dehydrogenase, staphylococcal nuclease, and lysozyme), and compare the efficacy of MGlyG with other natural glyceryl glycosides, such as α-D-mannosyl-D-glycerate, α-D-glucosyl-D-glycerate and α-D-glucosyl-(1 → 6)-α-D-glucosyl-(1 → 2)-D-glycerate.

Abstract
Two N-acetyl 4O,5N-oxazolidinone-protected sialyl thioglycosides epimeric at the 7-position have been synthesized and their reactivity and stereoselectivity in glycosylation reactions have been compared. It is demonstrated that the natural 7S-donor is both more reactive and more α-selective than the unnatural 7R-isomer. The difference in reactivity is attributed to the side chain conformation and specifically to the proximity of O7 to the anomeric center. In the natural 7S-isomer, O7 is closer to the anomeric center than in its unnatural 7R-epimer and, therefore, better able to support incipient positive charge at the locus of reaction. The difference in selectivity is also attributed to the side conformation, which in the unnatural 7R-series is placed perpendicularly above the α-face of the donor and so shields it to a greater extent than in the 7S-series. These observations are consistent with earlier conclusions on the influence of the side chain conformation on reactivity and selectivity derived from conformationally locked models in the glucose and galactose series and corroborate the suggestion that those effects are predominantly stereoelectronic rather than torsional. The possible relevance of side chain conformation as a factor in the influence of glycosylation stereoselectivity by remote protecting groups and as a control element in enzymic processes for glycosidic bond formation and hydrolysis are discussed. Methods for assignment of the anomeric configuration in the sialic acid glycosides are critically surveyed.
