Cell-surface glycans containing sialic acid are involved in various biological phenomena. However, the syntheses of GM4 derivatives with (2→2) and (2→4) linkages have not been investigated to date. In this study, sialylation of all of the hydroxyl groups on galactose were investigated for the syntheses of GM4 isomers. Regioselective sialylation was achieved via protection of galactosyl acceptors using electron-rich benzyl groups. These synthetic sialylated glycans will prove to be useful tools for studying unidentified carbohydrate-mediated biological roles.

Venturello's phosphotungstate complex and titanium(IV) isopropoxide [Ti(O-i-Pr)4] were successfully used as catalysts for the epoxidation-alcoholysis of glycals using hydrogen peroxide [H2O 2]. Reaction substrates included a range of variously protected glycals and different alcohols were used as solvents. Ti(O-i-Pr)4 was only effective in methanol as solvent, but gave methyl glycosides in high yields and high selectivities. The Venturello complex proved to be a very versatile and efficient catalyst. Apart from epoxidation-alcoholysis in alcoholic solvents it also showed activity in biphasic conditions to allow for glycosylation of long-chain alcohols and was very effective in the stereoselective dihydroxylation of benzylated glucal.
