Unlike solid phase synthesis of peptides, synthesis of oligosaccharides by solid phase methods is lagging behind owing to inherent challenges faced while executing glycosidations. In this communication, silver-assisted gold-catalyzed glycosidations are found to be excellent for solid phase oligosaccharide synthesis. Glycosidations under catalytic conditions, one time coupling with four equivalents of donor, reactions in less than 30 min at 25 °C and on-resin deprotection of silyl and benzoate protecting groups are the salient features. Photocleaved glycans possess a protected amino functionality that can be utilized for bioconjugation. The versatility of this approach is established by synthesizing linear and branched pentaarabinofuranosides.

The D-arabinans in Mycobacterium are essential, extraordinarily complex entity comprised of D-arabinofuranose residues which are rarely found in nature. Despite the well-recognized importance of the mycobacterial arabinan, delineation of the arabinosylati

A series of arabinofuranosyl oligosaccharides found as constituent parts of the polysaccharide portion of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have been chemically synthesized. Screening of these oligosaccharidss as substrates for arabinosyltransferases present in mycobacterial membrane preparations suggests that modified oligosaccharide analogs as small as disaccharides may be inhibitors of glycan biosynthesis. Such inhibitors would be of potential utility as lead compounds in the identification of new drugs for the treatment of mycobacterial infections.
