Aim and Objective: The efficient synthesis of disaccharide containing iminosugar moiety has a considerable interest in the field of glycoscience. In the present work, we describe a novel and applicable method for synthesis of five and six-membered N-substituted iminosugars attached with sugar moiety (pseudodisaccharides). Materials and Methods: The method of the glycosylation was based on the coupling of iminosugar thioglycoside (glycosyl donors) with partially protected sugars (glycosyl acceptors) in the presence of DMTST as a promoter. 2D COSY, HMQC, HMBC experiments were carried out to assist in NMR signal assignments. The pseudoanomeric configuration was established through NOE experiments and molecular modeling calculations. Results: Two classes of pseudodisaccharides were successfully obtained, five and six-membered N-substituted iminosugars glycosides. The six-membered pseudodisaccharides compounds were produced selectively with only β anomer. The corresponding five-membered pseudodisaccharides were achieved with moderate stereoselectivity. The yields obtained were good. These derivatives of iminocyclitols are thought to be precedents to develop various pseudodisaccharides, novel biologically active compounds, and new functional molecules. Conclusion: According to the results, utilizing iminosugar thioglycosides (1 and 2) as a glycosyl donor in glycosylation reactions is an efficient and highly stereoselective method to prepare (five- and six-membered) iminocyclitols (iminosugars) that bear a sugar moiety. The results will add to the synthesis of the iminosugars derivatives and contribute to make our approach among the few methods able to synthesize iminosugar glycosides.

The synthesis of glycosides and modified nucleosides represents a wide research field in organic chemistry. The classical methodology is based on coupling reactions between a glycosyl donor and an acceptor. An alternative strategy for new C-nucleosides is used in this approach, which consists of modifying a pre-existent furyl aglycone. This approach is applied to obtain novel pyridazine C-nucleosides starting with 2- and 3-(ribofuranosyl)furans. It is based on singlet oxygen [4+2] cycloaddition followed by reduction and hydrazine cyclization under neutral conditions. The mild three-step one-pot procedure leads stereoselectively to novel pyridazine C-nucleosides of pharmacological interest. The use of acetyls as protecting groups provides an elegant direct route to a deprotected new pyridazine C-nucleoside.

A conformationally restricted perhydro-1,3-benzoxazine derived from (-)-8-aminomenthol behaves as a good chiral ligand in the dimethylzinc-mediated enantioselective monoaddition of aromatic and aliphatic terminal alkynes to 1,2-diketones. The corresponding α-hydroxyketones were...

β-galactosidases (EC 3.2.1.23) catalyze the hydrolysis of β-galactosidic bonds in oligosaccharides and, under certain conditions, transfer a sugar moiety from a glycosyl donor to an acceptor. Cold-active β-galactosidases are identified in microorganisms endemic to permanently low-temperature environments. While mesophilic β-galactosidases are broadly studied and employed for biotechnological purposes, the cold-active enzymes are still scarcely explored, although they may prove very useful in biotechnological processes at low temperature. This review covers several issues related to cold-active β-galactosidases, including their classification, structure and molecular mechanisms of cold adaptation. Moreover, their applications are discussed, focusing on the production of lactose-free dairy products as well as on the valorization of cheese whey and the synthesis of glycosyl building blocks for the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
