An Abstract of Total Synthesis of Zwitterionic Bacterial Polysaccharide (PS A1) Antigen Fragments from B. fragilis ATCC 25285/NCTC 9343 with Alternating Charges on Adjacent Monosaccharides by Pradheep Eradi Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Chemistry The University of Toledo May 2019 Zwitterionic polysaccharides (ZPSs) are a relatively new class of carbohydrate antigens, with a paradigm shifting property; they can activate CD4+ T-cells in the absence of lipids, peptide(s) or protein(s) upon MHC class II presentation. Up until now, various anaerobic bacteria are known to express ZPSs, for example, PS A1, PS A2 and PS B (Bacteroides fragilis), Sp1 (Streptococcus pneumoniae), CP5 and CP8 (Staphylococcus aureus) and O-chain antigen (Morganella morgani). Among all the afore mentioned ZPSs, Sp1 and PS A1 polysaccharides were the prime focus of research for the past few decades and their biological properties are very well-understood. -
A Versatile Glycosylation Strategy Via Au(III) Catalyzed Activation of Thioglycoside Donors† Cite This: Chem

Sci.,2016,7,4259 Amol M. Vibhute, Arun Dhaka, Vignesh Athiyarath and Kana M. Sureshan* Among various methods of chemical glycosylations, glycosylation by activation of thioglycoside donors using a thiophilic promoter is an important strategy. Many promoters have been developed for the activation of thioglycosides. However, incompatibility with substrates having alkenes and the requirement of a stoichiometric amount of promoters, co-promoters and extreme temperatures are some of the limitations. We have developed an efficient methodology for glycosylation via the activation of thioglycoside donors using a catalytic amount of AuCl3 and without any co-promoter.

A Thesis entitled Thio-arylglycosides with Various Aglycon Para-Substituents, a Useful Tool for Mechanistic Investigation of Chemical Glycosylations by Xiaoning Li Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Chemistry ___________________________ Advisor: Dr. Xuefei Huang ___________________________ College of Graduate Studies The University of Toledo August 2007 An Abstract of Thio-arylglycosides with Various Aglycon Para-Substituents, a Useful Tool for Mechanistic Investigation of Chemical Glycosylations by Xiaoning Li Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree in Chemistry The University of Toledo August 2007 Oligosaccharides are usually found as protein or lipid conjugates in cellular systems. They play crucial roles in many biological processes. Among many approaches, organic synthesis is a very important way to obtain the desired oligosaccharides for biological studies. To date, no general synthetic procedures are available for oligosaccharide synthesis. Laborious synthetic transformations are generally required in order to obtain the desired regio- and/or stereo-selective control in oligosaccharide synthesis, due to their diverse and complex structures and many chemical equivalent ii hydroxyl functional groups. To achieve a rapid synthetic routine with high yields, a key step - glycosylation in oligosaccharide synthesis needs to be well understood. Thus an insight into the mechanism of glycosylation will provide valuable information potentially leading to the development of generalized glycosylation method. In this work, kinetic properties of glycosylation were evaluated by model reactions between three different series of glycosyl donors and three different glycosyl acceptors. The glycosylation mechanism was analyzed in the context of a linear-free energy relationship. -

Boltje 2 1234567890():,; Controlling the chemical glycosylation reaction remains the major challenge in the synthesis of oligosaccharides. Though 1,2-trans glycosidic linkages can be installed using neighboring group participation, the construction of 1,2-cis linkages is difficult and has no general solution. Long-range participation (LRP) by distal acyl groups may steer the stereoselectivity, but contradictory results have been reported on the role and strength of this stereoelectronic effect. It has been exceedingly difficult to study the bridging dioxolenium ion intermediates because of their high reactivity and fleeting nature. Here we report an integrated approach, using infrared ion spectroscopy, DFT computations, and a systematic series of glycosylation reactions to probe these ions in detail. Our study reveals how distal acyl groups can play a decisive role in shaping the stereochemical outcome of a glycosylation reaction, and opens new avenues to exploit these species in the assembly of oligosaccharides and glycoconju- gates to fuel biological research. 1 Leiden University, Leiden Institute of Chemistry, Einsteinweg 55, 2333 CC Leiden, The Netherlands. 2 Radboud University Institute for Molecules and Materials, Heyendaalseweg 135, 6525 AJ Nijmegen, The Netherlands. -

Obtaining highly stereoselective glycosidic linkages is one of the most challenging tasks in organic synthesis, as it is affected by various controlling factors. One of the least understood factors is the effect of solvents. We have described the known solvent effects while providing both general rules and specific examples. We hope this review will not only help fellow researchers understand the known aspects of solvent effects and use that in their experiments, moreover we expect more studies on this topic will be started and continued to expand our understanding of the mechanistic aspects of solvent effects in glycosylation reactions. -

Fluoride Migration Catalysis Enables Simple, Stereoselective, and Iterative Glycosylation Girish C. Sati, Joshua L. Martin, Yishu Xu, Tanmay Malakar, Paul M. Zimmerman, and John Montgomery* Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1055, USA *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract: Challenges in the assembly of glycosidic bonds pose a bottleneck in enabling the remarkable promise of advances in the glycosciences. We report a strategy that applies unique features of electrophilic boron catalysts in addressing current limitations of methods in glycoside synthesis. The strategy utilizes glycosyl fluoride donors and silyl ether acceptors while tolerating the Lewis basic environment found in carbohydrates. The method allows a simple setup at room temperature while utilizing catalyst loadings as low as 0.5 mol %, and air- and moisture stable forms of the catalyst are found to be effective. These characteristics enable a wide array of glycosylation patterns to be accessed, including all four C1-C2 stereorelationships, and the method allows one-pot, iterative glycosylations to generate oligosaccharides directly from monosaccharide building blocks. Main Text: Advances in the glycosciences present enormous promise in the understanding of disease and the development of strategies for improving human health.(1-3) The structural diversity and resulting biological properties of oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates are amplified by the stereochemical variations present within monosaccharide building blocks, the positioning (or absence) of oxygen and nitrogen functionality, and the multitude of possible points of connection between monosaccharide units. These features, paired with the multivalency of binding interactions, provide oligosaccharide chains with exquisite properties that govern many molecular recognition events in biology.
