Abstract: The present invention provides novel, regioselectively-acylated oligosaccharide compounds and methods for preparing them. In another aspect, the invention provides a method for preparing a selectively-acylated oligosaccharide. The method includes forming a reaction mixture containing a protected oligosaccharide and an acylating agent. The protected oligosaccharide includes at least three hydroxyl moieties and each hydroxyl moiety is protected with a silyl protecting group. The reaction mixture is formed under conditions sufficient to selectively replace at least one silyl protecting group with a —C(0)-C1_6 alkyl group, and the selectively-acylated oligosaccharide comprises at least one —C(0)-C1_6 alkyl group and at least one silyl protecting group.

Abstract: The present invention provides a one-pot method of preparing an unprotected ?-O-glycolipid. The first step involves contacting a protected ?-iodo sugar with a catalyst and a lipid comprising a hydroxy group, under conditions sufficient to prepare a protected ?-O-glycolipid. The second step involves deprotecting the protected ?-O-glycolipid under conditions sufficient to prepare the unprotected ?-O-glycolipid, wherein the contacting and deprotecting steps are performed in a single vessel. The present invention also provides a one-pot method of preparing an unprotected ?-O-glycolipid following the steps for the preparation of the unprotected ?-O-glycolipid.
