A library of dimers and heterodimers of both enantiomers of 2-O-alkylated iminoxylitol derivatives has been synthesised and evaluated on β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), the enzyme responsible for Gaucher disease (GD). Although the objective was to target simultaneously the active site and a secondary binding site of the glucosidase, the (−)-2-iminoxylitol moiety seemed detrimental for imiglucerase inhibition

Adaptation of the Mukaiyama-Nicolaou protocol to the coupling of a monounprotected thioglycoside to a glycosyl fluoride is capable of delivering the unusual disaccharide present in the title toxin.

wall glycans are used for high‐resolution imaging, providing important information about the structure and function of cell wall polysaccharides. To characterize the binding epitopes of these powerful molecular probes a library of eleven plant arabinoxylan oligosaccharides was produced by automated solid‐phase synthesis. Modular assembly of oligoarabinoxylans from few building blocks was enabled by adding

d-Arabinitol and xylitol were acetonated, benzylated and then hydrolyzed with a mineral acid to afford in good yields the corresponding 1-O-benzyl derivatives, which were identified by a periodate oxidation and a chemical identification. A preferential acetonation of the pentitols is discussed in a view of stereochemistry. Synthesis of 2-O-benzyl-d-arabinitol and 3-O-benzylxylitol are also described.

A stereoselective total synthesis of natural levorotatory polycavemoside A (1) has been achieved. initial investigations produced the properly activated disaccharide unit 18b via the conjoining of building blocks originating from L-fucose and D-xylose. This objective was followed by preparation of the phenylsulfonyl-substituted tetrahydropyran 23 and aldehyde 30. After proper linking of these key compounds, important information had to be garnered on the sequence of steps that would ultimately result in successful access to 1. Although oxidation to generate alpha-diketone 35 and unmasking of the C-13 hydroxyl did give rise efficiently to lactol 36, this functionality did not pave the way for ensuring macrolactonization. When this sequence of steps was reversed, it was indeed possible to arrive at the heavily functionalized precursor 43. However, numerous experiments failed to result in the requisite activation of C-16 for attachment of the trienyl side chain. However, if the E-vinyl iodide was elaborated in advance of alpha-diketone generation, glycosidation, and complete side chain construction, arrival at 1 proceeded without unsurmountable complications to furnish the targeted marine toxin.
