Research efforts directed at the development of methodologies effective for solid-phase
synthesis of oligosaccharides have resulted in a number of impressive achievements. In …

Synthetic routes are described to a partial structure common to all high mannose-type sugar
chains and complex-type sugar chains based on a chemoenzymatic strategy which …

The chemical synthesis of the highly branched core oligosaccharides of
lipooligosaccharides (LOSs) found in Campylobacter jejuni, which causes Guillain–Barré …

Gangliosides, glycosphingolipids containing one or more sialic acids in the glycan chain,
are involved in various important biological processes in cell plasma membranes (PMs) …

The development of a novel cyclic glucosyl ceramide cassette acceptor for efficient
glycolipid syntheses was investigated. p-Methoxybenzyl (PMB) groups were selected as …

Phenyl 6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-tetrachlorophthalimido-1-thio-β-d-glucopyranoside (5a) and
thexyldimethylsilyl 6-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-tetrachlorophthalimido-β-d-glucopyranoside (5b) …

A novel synthesis of tetralactosaminyl O-glycoamino acid is described. The stereoselective
assemblage of a lactosaminyl unit was performed by 2-trichloroacetamido group-assisted β …

Solution-phase synthesis of poly-β-mannuronic acids still remains unexplored. We report the
first synthesis of a β-mannuronic acid alginate hexadecasaccharide representing the longest …

The synthesis of a carbohydrate building block usually starts with introduction of a temporary
protecting group at the anomeric center and ends with its selective cleavage for further …

Polysaccharides are a class of bio-macromolecules with highly complex structures that are
widely found in living organisms such as microorganisms, plants and animals …
