Abstract
Molecular photoswitches capable of reversible photoswitching in aqueous media are highly demanded for various biological applications and photopharmacology. Carbohydrates, as natural and abundant raw materials, provide opportunity to make photoswitches water-soluble through linking sugar to the photoswitching molecules. We have developed a one-pot synthesis method to prepare water-soluble glycosyl azobenzenes through DMC (2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride)-mediated glycosylation between sugar and dihydroxyazobenzenes (DHABs) in aqueous media. The scope of the method has been investigated with different mono- and disaccharides, as well as with p,p'- and o,o'-DHAB, with excellent 1,2-trans stereoselectivity. Diglycosylation products can also be obtained with an excess amount of monosaccharides in one step. We have also demonstrated the possibility of further functionalization on the azobenzene moiety of glycosyl azobenzene. Both mono- and diglycosyl azobenzenes showed excellent photoswitching properties in water with high fatigue resistance and good thermostability for the Z-isomers. Excellent E → Z photoisomerization of both mono- and diglycosylated azobenzenes (Z/E = 99/1) is observed under illumination at 365 nm, while back Z → E photoisomerization can be achieved with blue light (with E/Z = 80/20 at PSS485 for the diglycosyl derivative).

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
Macrocyclic glycoazobenzenes, as an emerging class of photoswitchable chiral macrocyclic compounds, have shown interesting properties since their discovery in 2017. We have recently employed the azobenzene-ester-linked glycosyl donor-acceptor pairs to study the influence of photoisomerization on intramolecular glycosylation. To continue the investigation on the stereoselectivity aspect of glycosylation and also to enlarge the diversity of photoswitchable glycomacrocycles, we have chosen azobenzene-triazole linkers in the present study and shown that the stereoselectivity of the glycosylation is dependent on the linker length, the configuration of the azobenzene template, as well as the reaction concentration. We have optimized the reaction conditions to prepare in good yields new glycomacrocycles, which displayed excellent photochromic properties. The influence of glycosylation reagents and acidity on the stability of the Z-azobenzene substrates and cyclic glycoazobenzenes has also been investigated, demonstrating that isomerization of macrocyclic azobenzene can be tuned by photo-, thermo-, and acid stimulus.

Abstract
Azobenzene is a well-known derivative of stimulus-responsive molecular switches and has shown superior performance as a functional material in biomedical applications. The results of multiple studies have led to the development of light/hypoxia-responsive azobenzene for biomedical use. In recent years, long-wavelength-responsive azobenzene has been developed. Matching the longer wavelength absorption and hypoxia-response characteristics of the azobenzene switch unit to the bio-optical window results in a large and effective stimulus response. In addition, azobenzene has been used as a hypoxia-sensitive connector via biological cleavage under appropriate stimulus conditions. This has resulted in on/off state switching of properties such as pharmacology and fluorescence activity. Herein, recent advances in the design and fabrication of azobenzene as a trigger in biomedicine are summarized.

Abstract
Chiral photoresponsive host 1 was prepared by a high-yield Cs2CO3-templated macrocyclization. Trans-1 transforms into long-lived cis-1 (25 days) upon irradiation with green light, and the backward transformation is triggered by blue light. Both isomers prefer potassium among alkali metal cations, and cis-1 binds cations stronger than trans-1 (Kcis/Ktrans ≤ 4.1). 1H NMR titration experiments as well as density functional theory studies reveal that sucrose ring oxygen residues and azobenzene nitrogen atoms in 1 contribute to cation coordination.

Abstract
Photoresponsive glycoconjugates based on the azobenzene photoswitch are valuable molecules which can be used as tools for the investigation of carbohydrate–protein interactions or as precursors of shape-switchable molecular architectures, for example. To access such compounds, glycosylation of 4,4′-dihydroxyazobenzene (DHAB) is a critical step, frequently giving heterogeneous results because DHAB is a challenging glycosyl acceptor. Therefore, DHAB glucosylation was studied using nine different glycosyl donors, and reaction conditions were systematically varied in order to find a reliable procedure, especially towards the preparation of azobenzene bis-glucosides. Particular emphasis was put on glucosyl donors which were differentiated at the primary 6-position (N3, OAc) for further functionalisation. The present study allowed us to identify suitable glycosyl donors and reaction conditions matching with DHAB, affording the bis-glycosylated products in fair yields and good stereocontrol. The glycosylation of 4,4′-dihydroxyazobenzene was investigated to identify suitable conditions providing access to valuable photoswitchable glycoconjugates.![]()
