Abstract
Carbohydrates are called the third chain of life. Carbohydrates participate in many important biochemical functions in living species, and the biological information carried by them is several orders of magnitude larger than that of nucleic acids and proteins. However, due to the intrinsic complexity and heterogeneity of carbohydrate structures, furnishing pure and structurally well-defined glycans for functional studies is a formidable task, especially for homogeneous large-size glycans. To address this issue, we have developed a donor preactivation-based one-pot glycosylation strategy enabling multiple sequential glycosylations in a single reaction vessel.The donor preactivation-based one-pot glycosylation refers to the strategy in which the glycosyl donor is activated in the absence of a glycosyl acceptor to generate a reactive intermediate. Subsequently, the glycosyl acceptor with the same anomeric leaving group is added, leading to a glycosyl coupling reaction, which is then iterated to rapidly achieve the desired glycan in the same reactor. The advantages of this strategy include the following: (1) unique chemoselectivity is obtained after preactivation; (2) it is independent of the reactivity of glycosyl donors; (3) multiple-step glycosylations are enabled without the need for intermediate purification; (4) only stoichiometric building blocks are required without complex protecting group manipulations. Using this protocol, a range of glycans including tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens, various glycosaminoglycans, complex N-glycans, and diverse bacterial glycans have been synthesized manually. Gratifyingly, the synthesis of mycobacterial arabinogalactan containing 92 monosaccharide units has been achieved, which created a precedent in the field of polysaccharide synthesis. Recently, the synthesis of a highly branched arabinogalactan from traditional Chinese medicine featuring 140 monosaccharide units has been also accomplished to evaluate its anti-pancreatic-cancer activity. In the spirit of green and sustainable chemistry, this strategy can also be applied to light-driven glycosylation reactions, where either UV or visible light can be used for the activation of glycosyl donors.Automated synthesis is an advanced approach to the construction of complex glycans. Based on the two preactivation modes (general promoter activation mode and light-induced activation mode), a universal and highly efficient automated solution-phase synthesizer was further developed to drive glycan assembly from manual to automated synthesis. Using this synthesizer, a library of oligosaccharides covering various glycoforms and glycosidic linkages was assembled rapidly, either in a general promoter-activation mode or in a light-induced-activation mode. The automated synthesis of a fully protected fondaparinux pentasaccharide was realized on a gram scale. Furthermore, the automated synthesis of large-size polysaccharides was performed, allowing the assembly of arabinans up to an astonishing 1080-mer using the automated multiplicative synthesis strategy, taking glycan synthesis to a new height far beyond the synthesis of nucleic acids (up to 200-mer) and proteins (up to 472-mer).

Abstract
Bioactive polysaccharides from natural resources target various biological processes and are increasingly used as potential target molecules for drug development. However, the accessibility of branched and long complex polysaccharide active domains with well-defined structures remains a major challenge. Herein we describe an efficient first total synthesis of a highly branched heptadecasaccharide moiety of the native bioactive galectin-3-targeting polysaccharide from Carthamus tinctorius L. as well as shorter fragments of the heptadecasaccharide. The key feature of the approach is that a photo-assisted convergent [6+4+7] one-pot coupling strategy enables rapid assembly of the heptadecasaccharide, whereby a photoremovable o-nitrobenzyl protecting group is used to generate the corresponding acceptor for glycosylation in situ upon ultraviolet radiation. Biological activity tests suggest that the heptadecasaccharide can target galectin-3 and inhibit pancreatic cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Glycans have been hot topics in recent years due to their exhibition of numerous biological activities. However, the heterogeneity of their natural source and the complexity of their chemical synthesis impede the progress in their biological research. Thus, the development of glycan assembly strategies to acquire plenty of structurally well-defined glycans is an important issue in carbohydrate chemistry. In this review, the latest advances in glycan assembly strategies from concepts to their applications in carbohydrate synthesis, including chemical and enzymatic/chemo-enzymatic approaches, as well as solution-phase and solid-phase/tag-assisted synthesis, are summarized. Furthermore, the automated glycan assembly techniques are also outlined.

Abstract
We report herein an efficient chemical synthesis of homogeneous human E-cadherin N-linked glycopeptides consisting of a heptapeptide sequence adjacent to the Asn-633 N-glycosylation site with representative N-glycan structures, including a conserved trisaccharide, a core-fucosylated tetrasaccharide, and a complex-type biantennary octasaccharide. The key steps are a chemoselective on-resin aspartylation using a pseudoproline-containing peptide and stereoselective glycosylation using glycosyl fluororide as a donor. This synthetic strategy demonstrates potential utility in accessing a wide range of homogeneous N-linked glycopeptides for the examination of their biological function.

Abstract
Common carbohydrate protecting group reactions under continuous flow processes are reported in the context of producing partially-protected glucose building blocks from levoglucosan. Benzyl ether protection was demonstrated without the use of NaH using barium oxide, which, however, pointed to the need for forms of this catalyst not as susceptible to close packing under flow. Acylation conditions were developed under continuous flow in acetonitrile and avoiding pyridine. Ring-opening the derivatized levoglucosan with propanethiol was also demonstrated producing S-alkyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-glucopyranoside building block in 2 rather than 12 steps in increased overall yield.

Abstract
Most glycosylation reactions are performed by mixing the glycosyl donor and acceptor together followed by the addition of a promoter. While many oligosaccharides have been synthesized successfully using this premixed strategy, extensive protective group manipulation and aglycon adjustment often need to be performed on oligosaccharide intermediates, which lower the overall synthetic efficiency. Preactivation-based glycosylation refers to strategies where the glycosyl donor is activated by a promoter in the absence of an acceptor. The subsequent acceptor addition then leads to the formation of the glycoside product. As donor activation and glycosylation are carried out in two distinct steps, unique chemoselectivities can be obtained. Successful glycosylation can be performed independent of anomeric reactivities of the building blocks. In addition, one-pot protocols have been developed that have enabled multiple-step glycosylations in the same reaction flask without the need for intermediate purification. Complex glycans containing both 1,2-cis and 1,2-trans linkages, branched oligosaccharides, uronic acids, sialic acids, modifications such as sulfate esters and deoxy glycosides have been successfully synthesized. The preactivation-based chemoselective glycosylation is a powerful strategy for oligosaccharide assembly complementing the more traditional premixed method.

Abstract
Investigations into novel bacterial drug targets and vaccines are necessary to overcome tuberculosis. Lipomannan (LM), found on the surface of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is actively involved in the pathogenesis and survival of Mtb. Here, we report for the first time a rapid synthesis and biological activities of an LM glycan backbone, α(1-6)mannans. The rapid synthesis is achieved via a regio- and stereoselective ring opening polymerization to generate multiple glycosidic bonds in one simple chemical step, allowing us to finish assembling the defined polysaccharides of 5-20 units within days rather than years. Within the same pot, the polymerization is terminated by a thiol-linker to serve as a conjugation point to carrier proteins and surfaces for immunological experiments. The synthetic glycans are found to have adjuvant activities in vivo. The interactions with DC-SIGN demonstrated the significance of α(1-6)mannan motif present in LM structure. Moreover, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) showed that longer chain of synthetic α(1-6)mannans gain better lectin's binding affinity. The chemically defined components of the bacterial envelope serve as important tools to reveal the interactions of Mtb with mammalian hosts and facilitate the determination of the immunologically active molecular components.

Abstract
The first chemical synthesis of the heptasaccharide repeating unit of type V group B Streptococcus capsular polysaccharide (CPS) by a preactivation-based one-pot [2 + 1 + 4] glycosylation strategy is described. The synthetic efficiency was further improved by using diol glycosyl acceptors for regio-/stereoselective glycosylation reactions. The synthetic target contains a free amino group at the reducing end, facilitating additional regioselective elaboration. The results should be useful for synthetic and biological studies of related CPSs.

Abstract
Because of their involvement in a variety of different biological processes and their occurrence onto pathogens and malignant cell surface, carbohydrates have been identified as ideal candidates for vaccine formulation. However, as free oligosaccharides are poorly immunogenic and do not induce immunological memory in the most at risk population (infants and young children, elderly and immunocompromised patients), glycoconjugate vaccines containing the same carbohydrate antigen covalently linked to an immunogenic carrier protein have gained a prominent role. Accordingly, a number of glycoconjugate vaccines mostly directed against infections caused by bacterial pathogens have been licensed and are currently available on the market. However, also glycoconjugate vaccines suffer from significant drawbacks. The challenging procedures required for the isolation and purification of the carbohydrate antigen from its natural source often lead to poor homogeneity and presence of biological contaminants, resulting in batch-to-batch variability. Moreover, in some cases, the overwhelming immunogenicity of the carrier protein may induce the carbohydrate epitope suppression, causing hyporesponsiveness. The development of synthetic oligosaccharide-based vaccine candidates, characterized by the presence of pure and well-defined synthetic oligosaccharide structures, is expected to meet the requirement of homogeneous and highly reproducible preparations. In the present chapter, we report on the major advances in the development of synthetic carbohydrate-based vaccines. First of all, we describe different strategies developed during the last years to circumvent the inherent difficulties of classical oligosaccharide synthesis, such as the one-pot glycosylation and the solid-phase synthesis, and their application to the preparation of carbohydrate antigens apt to conjugation with protein carriers. Next, we discuss the most representative methodologies employed for the chemical ligation of oligosaccharide structures to proteins. Finally, in the last section, we report significant examples of fully synthetic vaccines exploiting the multivalency effect. These constructs are based on the concept that the conjugation of multiple copies of synthetic oligosaccharide antigens to multivalent scaffolds, such as dendrimers, (cyclo)peptides, gold nanoparticles, and calixarenes, raises cooperative interactions between carbohydrates and immune receptors, leading to strong enhancement of the saccharide antigen immunogenicity.

Abstract
An analog of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lipoarabinomannan (LAM) has been synthesized containing the characteristic structures of all of its three major components; that is, a mannosylated phosphatidylinositol moiety, an oligomannan, and an oligoarabinan. A highly convergent strategy was developed that is applicable to the synthesis of other LAM analogs. The synthetic miniature LAM should be useful for various biological studies.

Abstract
Carbohydrates have gained increasing appreciation over the last few decades for their fundamental roles in all essential areas of life. As a result, there has been a surge of activity in synthetic glycosylation strategies to construct useful oligosaccharides. This review evaluates the advances in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry, specifically preactivation methodologies, stereoselective β-mannosylations, and an automated, electrochemical preactivation method. Also discussed is the use of preactivation as a tool to study reactive intermediates, and applications of preactivation protocols in the one pot-synthesis of a hyaluronic acid decasaccharide and one-pot synthesis of a tristearoyl lipomannan containing a pseudotrisaccharide.
