“…Chemical synthesis provides a reliable means of solving this accessibility issue. Nonetheless, because of stereoselectivity and regioselectivity issues , during glycans assembly, glycans synthesis remains tedious and time-consuming. While the milestone synthesis of 92-mer arabinogalactan and 101-mer mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan from Mycobacterium tuberculosis , 100-mer and 151-mer mannans, 128-mer O-antigen from Bacteroides vulgatus , 140-mer arabinogalactan from Panax notoginseng , and 1080-mer arabinan has been achieved in recent years, efficient synthesis of long, branched, and complex glycans containing many 1,2- cis -glycosidic linkages over 10-mer remains a challenging task …”
