Abstract
Herein, we report the first total synthesis of a densely functionalized trisaccharide repeating unit of Pragia fontium 97U124. The presence of rare deoxy amino sugars namely C4-N-glyceroyl-d-bacillosamine and l-fucosamine, two consecutive 1,2-cis linkages, five nitrogen dispensed over three rings and orthogonal functionality of amines makes the trisaccharide synthesis a challenging task. The total synthesis of target molecule was completed via a longest linear sequence of 22 steps in 5.1 % overall yield starting from d-mannose.

Abstract
The significance of 2-deoxy glycosides in biologically active compounds is well-established, as they frequently play a pivotal role in modulating the efficacy of therapeutic agents. The 2-deoxy sugar embodies a distinctive class of carbohydrates characterized by marked differences in stability, reactivity, and selectivity compared to their counterparts bearing C2-oxygen or other heteroatoms. As a result, the stereoselective synthesis of this carbohydrate class is complicated by its sensitivity to acidic conditions and propensity for hydrolysis and elimination reactions. Furthermore, the lack of C2-oxygen functionality presents an additional challenge in controlling stereoselectivity. In this study, we report the application of commercially available phenanthroline as an effective additive in the stereoselective glycosylation of aliphatic alcohols and phenolic nucleophiles with 2-deoxy glycosyl chlorides, facilitating efficient access to a variety of α-2-deoxy glycosides in high yields with synthetically useful stereoselectivity. Kinetic analyses suggest that phenanthroline plays a crucial role in modulating the selectivity of the reaction.

Abstract
In this study, we developed an indirect method for the synthesis of 2-deoxyglycosides with an exclusive β-configuration using glucosyl and galactosyl bromide donors with 2-thioacetyl (SAc) groups. The 2-SAc glucosyl and galactosyl bromide donors were easily obtained through the treatment of 1-OAc, 2-SAc glucose and galactose with HBr-CH3COOH solution, respectively. The glycosylation of such donors with acceptors under an improved Koenigs-Knorr condition resulted in glycosylation products with an exclusive β-configuration in excellent yields. The synthetic approach of 2-SAc glycosyl donors using glycals as the starting materials was also investigated. Based on these studies, the synthetic method of using 2-deoxyglycosides with an exclusive β-configuration through desulfurization will have more practical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we have explored a one-pot bis-triflation and regioselective displacement protocol with d-fucose 2,4-diol to access various rare 6-deoxy amino d-sugars. This strategy enabled the first total synthesis of the trisaccharide unit of Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1 strain containing d-perosamine and d-tomosamine. Installation of a 1,2-cis linkage and late-stage N-formylation are the key challenges in the total synthesis, which was accomplished via the longest linear sequence of 21 steps with 1.2% overall yield.

Abstract
Zwitterionic polysaccharides (ZPSs) present on the surface of a common gut commensal Bacteroides fragilis are endowed with unique immunological properties as they can directly bind to T-cells in the absence of protein conjugation. ZPSs are therefore considered to be potential antigens for the development of totally carbohydrate-based vaccines. Herein, we disclose the first total synthesis of a highly branched phosphorylated zwitterionic capsular polysaccharide repeating unit of Bacteroides fragilis. The hexasaccharide repeating unit bearing six different monosaccharides comprises three 1,2-cis-glycosidic linkages, a challenging 1,2-trans linkage in D-QuipNAc-β-(1→4)-D-Gal motif, and a 2-aminoethyl phosphonate appendage. The synthesis of target ZPS was accomplished utilizing an expeditious, highly stereoselective and convergent (1 + 2 + 2 + 1) one-pot glycosylation strategy. The striking features include efficient synthesis of rare deoxy amino sugars D- and L-quinovosamine, stereoselective installation of three 1,2-cis glycosidic linkages, glycosylation of D-quinovosamine donor with a sterically crowded, poorly reactive 4-OH galactose moiety, as well as late stage phosphorylation.

Abstract
Here we report the first total synthesis of the conjugation-ready tetrasaccharide repeating unit of Shewanella japonica type strain KMM 3299T. The presence of rare deoxyamino sugars and installation of three consecutive 1,2-cis glycosidic linkages makes the synthesis formidable. The challenging late-stage oxidation was overcome by using a galacturonate donor. The total synthesis was completed via a longest linear sequence of 22 steps in an overall yield of 3.5% starting from d-mannose.

Abstract
Herein, the di- and trisaccharide mimics of the hexasaccharide antigen related to Bacillus anthracis were synthesized and covalently coupled with carrier proteins, such as keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), to form the corresponding glycoconjugates 1-6. 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-benzyl thioglycoside and 2-deoxyl-2-phthalylamino-3,4,6-tri-O-benzyl thioglycoside were applied as glycosyl donors to guarantee α or β-configuration of the newly formed glycosidic bonds. Glutaraldehyde was used as a homobifunctional cross-linker for high-efficiency coupling. The synthetic KLH-glycoconjugates 2, 4 and 6 were also used to vaccinate female Balb/c mice and the preliminary results of ELISA uncovered that all three KLH-conjugates could induce immune responses and generate oligosaccharide-specific total IgG antibodies. The trisaccharide 8, the glycosyl part of glycoconjugate 4, is of great immunogenicity.

Abstract
An automated continuous flow system capable of producing protected deoxy-sugar donors from commercial material is described. Four 2,6-dideoxy and two 3-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy sugars with orthogonal protecting groups were synthesized in 11-32 % overall yields in 74-131.5 minutes of total reaction time. Several of the reactions were able to be concatenated into a continuous process, avoiding the need for chromatographic purification of intermediates. The modular nature of the experimental setup allowed for reaction streams to be split into different lines for the parallel synthesis of multiple donors. Further, the continuous flow processes were fully automated and described through the design of an open-source Python-controlled automation platform.

Abstract
Protein-carbohydrate interactions are implicated in many biochemical/biological processes that are fundamental to life and to human health. Fluorinated carbohydrate analogues play an important role in the study of these interactions and find application as probes in chemical biology and as drugs/diagnostics in medicine. The availability and/or efficient synthesis of a wide variety of fluorinated carbohydrates is thus of great interest. Here, we report a detailed study on the synthesis of monosaccharides in which the hydroxy groups at their 4- and 6-positions are replaced by all possible mono- and difluorinated motifs. Minimization of protecting group use was a key aim. It was found that introducing electronegative substituents, either as protecting groups or as deoxygenation intermediates, was generally beneficial for increasing deoxyfluorination yields. A detailed structural study of this set of analogues demonstrated that dideoxygenation/fluorination at the 4,6-positions caused very little distortion both in the solid state and in aqueous solution. Unexpected trends in α/β anomeric ratios were identified. Increasing fluorine content always increased the α/β ratio, with very little difference between regio- or stereoisomers, except when 4,6-difluorinated.
