Automated flourous-assisted solution-phase synthesis of β-1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,6-mannopyranoside linkages with mannuronate donors.
Use of the β-directing C-5 ester of mannuronate donors as a protecting group that can support the automated synthesis of short β-1,6-mannan oligomers.
Demonstrating removal of soluble F-tagged intermediates for analysis and/or purification and subsequent return to the automated synthesis platform for further reactions.
Fewer equivalents of glycosyl donors were needed for each glycosylation cycle than related solid-phase-based protocols.
