Sialic acids are essential mediators of biological processes involving carbohydrate recognition. A major determinant of sialic acid recognition is the N-5 substituent, which can be an N-acetyl (human), N-glycolyl (non-human), or amine (cancer associated) functionality. Access to homogeneous sialosides with distinct substitution patterns is essential to determine structure-activity relationships. Herein, we report a divergent chemical approach to enable the synthesis of a library of specifically substituted sialosides by using a single sialic acid building block.

The α-2,3-sialyltransferase from Neisseria gonorrheae was overproduced in E. coli for exploitation of its substrate specificity and synthetic utility. Several potential acceptor substrates were synthesized in this study, including mono- and oligosaccharid
