Human glycans are primarily composed of nine common sugar building blocks. On the other hand, several hundred monosaccharides have been discovered in bacteria and most of them are not readily available. The ability to access these rare sugars and the corresponding glycoconjugates can facilitate the studies of various fundamentally important biological processes in bacteria, including interactions between microbiota and the human host. Many rare sugars also exist in a variety of natural products and pharmaceutical reagents with significant biological activities. Although several methods have been developed for the synthesis of rare monosaccharides, most of them involve lengthy steps. Herein, we report an efficient and general strategy that can provide access to rare sugars from commercially available common monosaccharides via a one-step Ru(II)-catalyzed and boron-mediated selective epimerization of 1,2-trans-diols to 1,2-cis-diols. The formation of boronate esters drives the equilibrium toward 1,2-cis-diol products, which can be immediately used for further selective functionalization and glycosylation. The utility of this strategy was demonstrated by the efficient construction of glycoside skeletons in natural products or bioactive compounds.

Methods for direct dehydrative glycosylations of carbohydrate hemiacetals catalyzed by diphenylammonium triflate under microwave irradiation are described. Both armed and disarmed glycosyl-C1-hemiacetal donors were efficiently glycosylated in moderate to excellent yields without the need for any drying agents and stoichiometric additives. This method has been successfully applied to a solid-phase glycosylation.

The crystal structures of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-Acetyl--d-mannopyranose, C16H22O11, and 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-Acetyl--d-mannopyranosyl-(1.2)-3,4,6-Tri-O-Acetyl--d-mannopyranosyl-( 1.3)-1,2,4,6-Tetra-O-Acetyl--d-mannopyranose, C40H54O27, were determined and compared to those of methyl 2,3,4,6-Tetra-O-Acetyl--d-mannopyranoside, methyl -d-mannopyranoside andmethyl -d-mannopyranosyl-(1.2)--d-mannopyranoside to evaluate the effects of O-Acetylation on bond lengths, bond angles and torsion angles. In general, O-Acetylation exerts little effect on the exo-and endocyclic C-C and endocyclic C-O bond lengths, but the exocyclic C-O bonds involved in O-Acetylation are lengthened by -0.02 A ° . The conformation of the O-Acetyl side-chains is highly conserved, with the carbonyl O atom either eclipsing the H atom attached to a 2-Alcoholic C atom or bisecting the H-C-H bond angle of a 1-Alcoholic C atom. Of the two C-O bonds that determine O-Acetyl side-chain conformation, that involving the alcoholic C atom exhibits greater rotational variability than that involving the carbonyl C atom. These findings are in good agreement with recent solution NMR studies of O-Acetyl side-chain conformations in saccharides. Experimental evidence was also obtained to confirm density functional theory (DFT) predictions of C-O and O-H bond-length behavior in a C-O-H fragment involved in hydrogen bonding.
