Abstract

A diversity-oriented strategy combining enzymatic glycan assembly and on-site lipid remodeling via chemoselective cross-metathesis and N-acylation was developed for glycosphingolipid (GSL) synthesis starting from a common, simple glycoside. The strategy was verified with a series of natural GSLs and GSL derivatives and showed several advantages. Most notably, it enabled two-way diversification of the glycan and lipid, including introduction of designed molecular tags, to provide functionalized GSLs useful for biological studies and applications.
