Unusual diglycosides composed of D-hexofuranosyl entities were prepared by a chemoenzymatic route using the -L-arabinofuranosidase, AbfD3. The required, unprotected monosaccharidic donors were first prepared according to multi-step syntheses. Since one goa ...
Hexofuranosides are widely spread in nature, and notably in numerous pathogenic microorganisms. This particular five-membered ring for hexosides leads to novel biological properties and, as usual in glycochemistry, to completely different reactivity and se ...
The preparation of O-hexofuranosides was accomplished from unprotected 1-thioimidoyl furanosides as donors. The present methodology was first used for the synthesis of octyl galactofuranoside and further extended to D-galactofuranose-containing disaccharid ...
Four galactofuranose-containing disaccharides have been prepared utilising various thioimidates [Galf-SC(NR)XR′] and suitably protected acceptors as key precursors. We observed that the efficiency of the coupling reactions was particularly dependent on the ...
We described herein the synthesis of second generation glycopeptide dendrimers G2a-g presenting variable amino acids placed internally into the multivalent scaffold. The effect of such structural modulation on recognition processes by Concanavalin A (Con A ...
