• required to access all six oligosaccharides, ranging from hexa- to dodecasaccharides. Results and Discussion The automated syntheses of oligomannosides 4–6 and oligoarabinomannosides 7–9 were performed on a self-built automated synthesizer using a Merrifield resin functionalized with a photocleavable

• linker as solid support [25]. A typical AGA cycle consisted of three modules. The acidic wash module prepared the resin for glycosylation by quenching any remaining base from a previous cycle. In the glycosylation module, the thioglycoside donor was coupled to the resin upon activation with NIS and TfOH

• automated method for chemical sialylation. Monosaccharide building blocks 4, 5 [14], 6, 7 [21], 8, 9 [21], and 10 [5] were employed for these syntheses. Merrifield polystyrene resin equipped with a photocleavable linker, 11, was placed in the reaction chamber of the automated synthesizer and the coupling
