Esposito, Davide Hurevich, Mattan Castagner, Bastien Wang, Cheng-Chung Seeberger, Peter H 2012 <jats:p>Sialic acid-containing glycans play a major role in cell-surface interactions with external partners such as cells and viruses. Straightforward access to sialosides is required in order to study their biological functions on a molecular level. Here, automated oligosaccharide synthesis was used to facilitate the preparation of this class of biomolecules. Our strategy relies on novel sialyl α-(2→3) and α-(2→6) galactosyl imidates, which, used in combination with the automated platform, provided rapid access to a small library of conjugation-ready sialosides of biological relevance.</jats:p> application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/177602 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.3762/bjoc.8.183 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/issn/1860-5397 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. - Beilstein Institut. - 2012, vol. 8, p. 1601-1609 Automated synthesis of sialylated oligosaccharides http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
