concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column
chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate-hexane gradient
elution) to afford the corresponding SBox glycoside. Method B.
Typical procedure for the preparation from glycosyl acetates: The
solution of a glycosyl acetate (0.128 mmol), 2-mercaptobenzoxazole
(0.256 mmol), and activated molecular sieves (3 Å, 100 mg) in
CH2Cl2 (1.0 mL) was stirred under argon for 30 min at rt. The
Lewis acid (BF3-OEt2, AlCl3, ZrCl4, or TMSOTf, 0.256 mmol)
was then added dropwise, and the reaction mixture was kept for
45 min at rt. After that, another portion of 2-mercaptobenzoxazole
(0.256 mmol) and Lewis acid (0.256 mmol) were added, and the
reaction mixture was kept for 1.5-16 h at rt. Upon completion,
the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (10 mL), the solid was filtered
off, and the residue was washed with CH2Cl2 (2 × 10 mL). The
combined filtrate (30 mL) was washed with 1% aq NaOH (15 mL)
and water (3 × 10 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried
over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified
by column chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate-hexane
gradient elution) to afford the corresponding SBox glycoside.

Preparation of Di- and Trisaccharides. Method A. Typical
AgOTf-promoted glycosylation procedure (activation of the SBox
glycosides): A mixture the glycosyl donor (0.11 mmol), glycosyl
acceptor (0.10 mmol), and freshly activated molecular sieves (3
Å, 200 mg) in ClCH2CH2Cl (2 mL) was stirred under argon for
1.5 h. Freshly conditioned AgOTf (0.22 mmol) was added, and
the reaction mixture was stirred for 1-2 h at rt. The mixture was
diluted with CH2Cl2, filtered to remove the solids, and the residue
was washed with CH2Cl2. The combined filtrate (30 mL) was
washed with 20% aq NaHCO3 (15 mL) and water (3 × 10 mL).
The organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4, and concen-
trated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatog-
raphy on silica gel (ethyl acetate-hexane gradient elution) to afford
a di- or an oligosaccharide derivative. Method B. Typical MeOTf-
promoted glycosylation procedure (activation of SBox glyco-
sides): A mixture of the glycosyl donor (0.11 mmol), glycosyl
acceptor (0.10 mmol), and freshly activated molecular sieves (3
Å, 200 mg) in ClCH2CH2Cl (2 mL) was stirred for 2 h under argon.
MeOTf (0.33 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was stirred
for 1-2 h at rt. Triethylamine (0.5 mL) was added to neutralize
the reaction, and the mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 (30 mL),
the solids were filtered off, and the residue was washed with
CH2Cl2. The combined filtrate was washed with water (4 × 10
mL), and then the organic phase was separated, dried over MgSO4,
and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column
chromatography on silica gel (ethyl acetate-hexane gradient
elution) to yield the corresponding disaccharide.
