Front Cover: α‐Selective Solid‐Phase Synthesis of Glycosyl Phosphate Repeating Structure Via the Phosphoramidite Method (Chem. Eur. J. 57/2024).

This article, titled "Front Cover: α-Selective Solid-Phase Synthesis of Glycosyl Phosphate Repeating Structure Via the Phosphoramidite Method," discusses the synthesis of glycosyl phosphate repeating units found in lipophosphoglycans (LPGs) and capsular polysaccharides. The authors, K. Kawato, K. Sato, and T. Wada, describe their research on the α-selective solid-phase synthesis of these structures using glycosyl boranophosphates as stable intermediates. The cover art of the article depicts the structure of a synthesized disaccharide 1-phosphate repeating unit found in LPGs of Leishmania donovani. [Extracted from the article]
