Sialic acids are common terminal carbohydrates on cell surface. Together with internal carbohydrate structures, they play important roles in many physiological and pathological processes. In order to obtain α2-3-sialylated oligosaccharides, a highly efficient one-pot three-enzyme synthetic approach was applied. The P. multocida-α2-3-sialyltransferase (PmST1) involved in the synthesis was a multifunctional enzyme with extremely flexible donor and acceptor substrate specificities. Sialyltransferase acceptors, including type 1 structure (Galβ1-3GlcNAcβProN 3), type 2 structures (Galβ1-4GlcNAcβProN3 and 6-sulfo-Galβ1-4GlcNAcβProN3), type 4 structure (Galβ1-3GalNAcβProN3), type 3 or core 1 structure (Galβ1-3GalNAcαProN3) and human milk oligoscaccharide or lipooligosaccharide lacto-N-tetraose (LNT) (Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ1- 3Galβ1-4GlcβProN3), were chemically synthesized. They were then used in one-pot three-enzyme reactions with sialic acid precursor ManNAc or ManNGc, to synthesize a library of naturally occurring α2-3-linked sialosides with different internal sugar structures. The sialylated oligosaccharides obtained are valuable probes for their biological studies.

Stereoselective syntheses of 3-O-SO3Na-β-Gal-(1 → 4)-β-GlcNAc-(1 → 3)-β-Gal-(1 → 4)GlcNAc-β-OBn (15) and 3-O-SO3Na-β-Gal-(1 → 3)-β-GlcNAc-(1 → 3)-β-Gal-(1 → 3)-β-GlcNAc-(1 → 3)-β-Gal-(1 → 4)-Glc-β-OBn (25) were accomplished through the use of two novel glycosyl donors, namely, ethyl O-(2,6-di-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-β-D-galactopyranosyl)(1 → 4)-3-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-1-thio-6-O-trimethylacetyl-β-D-gl ucopyranoside (8) and ethyl O-(2,6-di-O-acetyl-3,4-O-isopropylidene-β-D-galactopyranosyl)-(1 → 3)-4-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-1-thio-6-O-trimethylacetyl-β-D-gl ucopyranoside (18).
