Methods for site-selective transformations of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrate derivatives are
reviewed. The construction of oligosaccharides of defined connectivity hinges on such …

Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar whose ability to stabilize biomolecules has brought about
its widespread use in biological preservation applications. Trehalose is also an essential …

Bacterial nutrition is an essential aspect of host–pathogen interaction. For the intracellular
pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis in humans …

Trehalose containing glycolipids have been isolated from various species of mycobacteria,
fungi and worms. Owing to their versatile biological roles, and heterogenicity of the natural …

Sulfated carbohydrates have been implicated in diverse biological processes, with the
position and extent of sulfation of a glycoside often playing important roles in determining …

Herein, we report, for the first time, a strategy to differentiate O4/O4′ positions of 1, 1′-α, α-
trehalose via regioselective protection or site-selective functionalization and its application …

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) causes tuberculosis as one major threat to human health,
which has been deteriorated owing to the emerging multidrug resistance. Mtb contains a …

Total synthesis of three important trehalose containing tetrasaccharides isolated from
Mycobacterium smegmatis is reported for the first time, using regioselective opening of …

Herein, we report a strategy for the total synthesis of a structurally unique fungal glycolipid
fusaroside. The first total synthesis of the proposed structure involved construction of the …

A short and efficient methodology has been developed to synthesize an analogue of a
lipooligosaccharide from Mycobacterium linda isolated from Crohn's disease. The total …
