Generally applicable and stereoselective formation of 1,2-cis-glycopyranosidic linkage remains a long sought after yet unmet goal in carbohydrate chemistry. This work advances a strategy to this challenge via stereoinversion at the anomeric position of 1,2-trans glycosyl ester donors. This SN2 glycosylation is enabled under gold catalysis by an oxazole-based directing group optimally tethered to a leaving group and achieved under mild catalytic conditions, in mostly excellent yields, and with good to outstanding selectivities. The strategy is also applied to the synthesis of oligosaccharides.

Helicobacter spp. are Gram-negative bacteria that cause a spectrum of disease in the gut, biliary tree and liver. Many Helicobacter spp. produce a range of cholesteryl α-glucosides that have the potential to act as pathogen associated molecular patterns. We report a highly stereoselective α-glucosylation of cholesterol using 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-O-benzyl-d-glucopyranosyl N-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroacetimidate, which allowed the synthesis of cholesteryl α-glucoside (αCG) and representative Helicobacter spp. cholesteryl 6-O-acyl-α-glucosides (αCAGs; acyl = C12:0, 14:0, C16:0, C18:0, C18:1). All αCAGs, irrespective of the nature of their acyl chain composition, strongly agonised signalling through the C-type lectin receptor Mincle from human and mouse to similar degrees. By contrast, αCG only weakly signalled through human Mincle, and did not signal through mouse Mincle. These results provide a molecular basis for understanding of the immunobiology of non-pylori Helicobacter infections in humans and other animals. This journal is
