Table 1.

One-pot three-enzyme (OP3E) synthesis of sialosides containing Neu5,7diN3 or Neu5,7,9triN3 (31–56) from Man2,4diN3 (9) or Man2,4,6triN3 (11) and chemical conversion of the azido groups to N-acetyl moieties to form sialosides containing desired Neu5Ac7NAc or Neu5Ac7,9diNAc (5782). The Cbz group in the resulting sialosides was removed from the NAc-sialosides in quantitative yields to produce sialosides containing a propylamine aglycone for glycan microarray studies. R’ differs from R by replacing the propyl NHCbz aglycon in R with the propylamine (ProNH2) in R’.
