Research topics from publications: Stereoselective Synthesis of α‐3‐Deoxy‐D‐manno‐oct‐2‐ulosonic Acid (α‐Kdo) Glycosides Using 5,7‐O‐Di‐tert‐butylsilylene‐Protected Kdo Ethyl Thioglycoside Donors. Representative work: An efficient methodology for the synthesis of α-Kdo glycosidic bonds has been developed with 5,7-O-di-tert-butylsilylene (DTBS) protected Kdo ethyl thioglycosides as glycosyl donors. The approach permits a wide scope of acceptors to be used, thus affording biologically significant Kdo glycosides in good to excellent chemical yields with complete α-selectivity. The synthetic utility of an orthogonally protected Kdo donor has been demonstrated by concise preparation of two α-Kdo-containing oligosaccharides
