The influence of phenolic acceptor nucleophilicity; for example, 3-substituted, 4-methylumbelliferones, and glycosyl donor electrophilicity; for example, 3- and 4-substituted N-acetylglucosamines, on glycosylation stereochemistry has been evaluated. In a systematic comparison, the stereochemical outcome as well as the reaction yield appeared to be influenced by the 3- and 4-substituents of the donor as well as the 3-substituent of the aryl acceptor. In the context of synthesizing a fluorogenic substrate for oligosaccharyltransferase, an α-glycoside was desired. Although most acceptor-donor pairs led to predominantly or exclusively the β-glycoside, reaction of the most activated (3,4-di-O-benzyl) donor and the least nucleophilic acceptor (3-Br), resulted in a 1:1 ratio of α,β arylglycosides.

Glycophosphatidylinositol anchors of membrane-bound proteins are thought to comprise a common pentasaccharide core containing mannan, glucosamine, and inositol residues. A synthetic route to this core is described. In addition, the complete heptasaccharide moiety of the rat brain Thy-1 membrane anchor, the first mammalian membrane anchor to be characterized, has been synthesized. In the case of the Thy-1 anchor, the synthetic plan is based on three building blocks comprising glucosamine-inositol, galactosamine-mannose, and trimannan residues. Although glycosyl donors other than n-pentenyl glycosides (NPGs) have been used in preparing each of these building blocks, the final assembly of the heptasaccharide utilizes NPGs as the only glycosyl donors. The mildness of the conditions for these coupling reactions has allowed us to make provisions for subsequent installation of the three phosphodiester units.
