GM1 is a common ganglioside pentasaccharide present on mammalian cell surface. It has been shown to play important roles in cellular communications and initiation of β-amyloid aggregation. In order to synthesize GM1, an efficient synthetic route was developed via a [3+2] strategy. The GM3 trisaccharide acceptor bearing an azido propyl group at the reducing end was prepared using the traditional acetamide protected sialyl thioglycosyl donor, which gave better stereoselectivity than sialyl donors ...[more]
