This study describes a new convenient method for the photocatalytic generation of glycosyl fluorides using sulfur(VI) hexafluoride as an inexpensive and safe fluorinating agent and 4,4′-dimethoxybenzophenone as a readily available organic photocatalyst. This mild method was employed to generate 16 different glycosyl fluorides, including the substrates with acid and base labile functionalities, in yields of 43%-97%, and it was applied in continuous flow to accomplish fluorination on an 7.7 g scale and 93% yield.

The homogeneously glycosylated 76-amino acid adiponectin collagenous domains (ACDs) with all of the possible 15 glycoforms have been chemically and individually synthesized using stereoselective glycan synthesis and chemical peptide ligation. The following biological and pharmacological studies enabled correlating glycan pattern to function in the inhibition of cancer cell growth as well as the regulation of systemic energy metabolism. In particular, hAdn-WM6877 was tested in detail with different mouse models and it exhibited promising in vivo antitumor, insulin sensitizing, and hepatoprotective activities. Our studies demonstrated the possibility of using synthetic glycopeptides as the adiponectin downsized mimetic for the development of novel therapeutics to treat diseases associated with deficient adiponectin.
Leveraging Trifluoromethylated Benzyl Groups toward the Highly 1,2- Cis-Selective Glucosylation of Reactive Alcohols

Here, we demonstrate that substitution of the benzyl groups of glucosyl imidate donors with trifluoromethyl results in a substantial increase in 1,2-cis-selectivity when activated with TMS-I in the presence of triphenylphosphine oxide. Stereoselectivity is dependent on the number of trifluoromethyl groups (4-trifluoromethylbenzyl vs 3,5-bis-trifluoromethylbenzyl). Particularly encouraging is that we observe high 1,2-cis-selectivity with reactive alcohol acceptors.
