The structural complexity of glycans poses a serious challenge in the chemical synthesis of
glycosides, oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates. Glycan complexity, determined by …

A critical review of the state-of-the-art evidence in support of the mechanisms of
glycosylation reactions is provided. Factors affecting the stability of putative oxocarbenium …

The outcome of a glycosylation reaction critically depends on the reactivity of all reaction
partners involved: the donor glycoside (the electrophile), the activator (that generally …

In the presence of a diarylborinic acid catalyst, glycosyl methanesulfonates engage in regio-
and stereoselective couplings with partially protected pyranoside and furanoside acceptors …

We report a new method for stereoselective O-furanosylation reactions promoted by a
precisely tailored bis-thiourea hydrogen-bond-donor catalyst. Furanosyl donors outfitted with …

Regio‐and stereoselective formation of the 1, 2‐cis‐furanosidic linkage has been in great
demand for efficient synthesis of biologically active natural glycosides. In this study, we …

Conspectus The cell surface (or cell wall) of bacteria is coated with carbohydrate (or glycan)
structures that play a number of important roles. These include providing structural integrity …

Abstract Formation of 1, 2‐trans‐arabinofuranoside linkage in arabinans from
Mycobacterium tuberculosis using differently protected Ara‐β‐(1→ 2)‐Ara disaccharide …

The review considers the known strategies for the synthesis of fragments of arabinogalactan
and lipoarabinomannan, polysaccharides that are contained in the cell walls of causative …

The global incidence of tuberculosis is increasing at an alarming rate, and Mycobacterium
tuberculosis (Mtb) is the causative agent for tuberculosis, a disease with high mortality …
