title: Synthesis of octyl arabinofuranosides as substrates for mycobacterial arabinosyltransferases.
abstract: A panel of octyl oligosaccharides comprised of arabinofuranose rings have been synthesized via efficient and readily scaleable routes. The key glycosylation reactions involved the coupling of octyl glycoside acceptors with the appropriate thioglycosides using N-iodosuccinimide and silver triflate activation. These syntheses were undertaken to provide substrates suitable for use in assays of mycobacterial arabinosyltransferases.
