Various β-glycosyl azides have been synthesized directly in water by the reaction of unprotected sugars and sodium azide mediated by 2-chloro-1,3-dimethylimidazolinium chloride (DMC).

Unprotected 3-keto-saccharides have become readily accessible via site-selective oxidation, but their protection-free functionalization is relatively unexplored. Here we show that protecting groups are obsolete in a variety of stereoselective modifications of our model substrate methyl alpha-glucopyranoside. This allows the preparation of rare sugars and the installation of click handles and reactive groups. To showcase the applicability of the methodology, maltoheptaose has been converted into a chemical probe, and the rare sugar evalose has been synthesized.

The preparation of biocompatible nanocarriers that have potential applications in the cosmetic and health industries is highly desired. The self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers displaying biosourced polysaccharides at the surface is one of the most promising approaches. In the continuity of our works related to the preparation of "hybrid" amphiphilic oligosaccharide-based block copolymers, we present here the design of a new generation of self-assembled nanoparticles composed entirely of oligosaccharide-based amphiphilic block co-oligomers (BCO). These systems are defined by a covalent linkage of the two saccharidic blocks through their reducing end units, resulting in a sweet "head-to-head" connection. As an example, we have prepared and studied a BCO in which the hydrophilic part is composed of a free maltoheptaosyl derivative clicked to a hydrophobic part composed of a peracetylated maltoheptaosyl derivative. This amphiphilic BCO self-assembles to form spherical micelles in water with an average diameter of 30 nm. The efficient enzymatic hydrolysis of the maltoheptaose that constitutes the shell of the micelles was followed by light scattering and colorimetric methods.
