Remote participation during glycosylation reactions of galactose building blocks: Direct evidence from cryogenic vibrational spectroscopy [PDF]
The stereoselective formation of 1,2‐cis‐glycosidic bonds is challenging. However, 1,2‐cis‐selectivity can be induced by remote participation of C4 or C6 ester groups.

Carbamate-Based Bolaamphiphile as Low-Molecular-Weight Hydrogelators
A new bolaamphiphile analog featuring carbamate moieties was synthesized in six steps starting from thymidine. The amphiphile structure exhibits nucleoside-sugar polar heads attached to a hydrophobic spacer via carbamate (urethane) functions.

Substrate-Assisted Catalysis Unifies Two Families of Chitinolytic Enzymes [PDF]
Hen egg-white lysozyme has long been the paradigm for enzymatic glycosyl hydrolysis with retention of configuration, with a protonated carboxylic acid and a deprotonated carboxylate participating in general acid-base catalysis.

Glycosyl-Nucleolipids as New Bioinspired Amphiphiles
Four new Glycosyl-NucleoLipid (GNL) analogs featuring either a single fluorocarbon or double hydrocarbon chains were synthesized in good yields from azido thymidine as starting material. Physicochemical studies (surface tension measurements, differential

Stereoselective gold(I)-catalyzed approach to the synthesis of complex α-glycosyl phosphosaccharides
Glycosyl phosphosaccharides represent a large and important family of complex glycans, but are difficult to synthesize efficiently. Here, the authors disclose a stereoselective methodology to make α-glycosyl phosphosaccharides, via gold(I)-catalyzed ...

Trapping and Characterization of the Reaction Intermediate in Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase by Use of Activated Substrates and a Mutant Enzyme [PDF]
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases) catalyze the degradation of starch into linear or cyclic oligosaccharides via a glycosyl transfer reaction occurring with retention of anomeric configuration.

Metal-free glycosylation with glycosyl fluorides in liquid SO2
Liquid SO2 is a polar solvent that dissolves both covalent and ionic compounds. Sulfur dioxide possesses also Lewis acid properties, including the ability to covalently bind Lewis basic fluoride ions in a relatively stable fluorosulfite anion (FSO2 ...
