Synthesis of a sialic acid containing complex-type N-glycan on a solid support

Chem Asian J. 2009 Apr 6;4(4):574-80. doi: 10.1002/asia.200800411.

Abstract

A new solid-phase synthesis of N-linked glycans featuring 1) highly stereoselective beta-mannosylation and microfluidic alpha-sialylation and 2) efficient glycosylation of the N-phenyltrifluoroacetimidate units on JandaJel resin is reported. Reagent concentration effects by a fluorous solvent are effectively applied, and the use of these methods results in the first synthesis of a sialic acid containing complex-type N-glycan on a solid support.
