    1. General Information

    Starting materials were prepared using literature procedures or modified procedures. Solvents

    and chemicals were purchased from commercial sources and used without further

    purification. Thin layer chromatography was performed using pre-coated plates contained

    from E. Merck (TLC silica gel 60 F254). TLC plates were visualized by exposure to

    ultraviolet light (UV), and then further analyzed by charring in stain solution (5% H2SO4 in

    MeOH). The column chromatography was performed on silica gel (100-200 mesh) using a

    mixture of ethyl acetate/hexane and methanol/ethyl acetate as an eluent. The Continuous

    Flow Photoreactor was constructed with the help of M/s Lelesil innovative systems, Mumbai,

    India. The NMR spectra were recorded on BrukerAvance 500 MHz NMR spectrometer and

    Mass spectra were measured on Water’s Quattro Micro V 4.1. All given 13C spectra are

    proton decoupled. The 1H NMR and 13C NMRs of the monosaccharide primary alcohol and

    corresponding uronic acids were compared with literature reports.

    2 (a)- General procedure for synthesis of uronic acid esters with 2-nitrobenzyl bromide:

    (1a-1o)

    To a stirred solution of appropriate uronicacid (0.5 equiv.) in dry DMF, KHCO3(4.0 equiv.),

    Bu4NI (0.2 equiv.) and 2-nitrobenzyl bromide (3 equiv.) were added under argon atmosphere.

    The resulting mixture was stirred for 16 h at room temperature. After completion, the reaction

    mixture was filtered on celite. The filtrate was washed with water (2×50 mL) and dried over

    anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide

    crude product which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel of 100-200 mesh

    size. Ethyl acetate/hexane was used as an eluent.

    (b)- Preparation of uronic acid esters 1m and 1n:

    1m preparation: The compound AA (3.0 g, 8.0 mmol) was stirred in dry pyridine (20 mL) in

    the presence of tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (1.81 g, 12.0 mmol) for overnight at room

    temperature. After completion, the reaction mixture was evaporated till dryness and dissolved

    in ethyl acetate. The resulting solution was washed with 0.1N HCl solution and brine

    solution. The crude was subjected for the column chromatography on silica (30% EtOAc:

    Hexane) to afford the primary TBDMS protected compound as a colorless syrup (3.13 g, 80%

    yield).

    The TBDMS protected compound (1.0 g, 2.0 mmol) was dissolved in DMF (20 ml) at 0oC to

    which NaH (98 mg, 2 equiv.) followed by 4-bromobenzylbromide (562 mg, 1.1 eq.) was

    added. The reaction was stirred until TLC starting material got consumed. The reaction was

    quenched using water (5 mL) and diluted with ethyl acetate (20 mL). The ethyl acetate layer

    was washed with cold water and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was further dried

    under high vacuum and dissolved in THF (20 ml) to which TBAF (3.0 equiv.) was added and

    stirred until starting material disappeared. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was

    dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with brine. The organic layer was evaporated in vacuo

    and purified using column chromatography (20% EtOAc: Hexane) to afford the pure

    compound AB (723 mg, 70%) as yellowish oil.

    To a vigorously stirred solution of AB (700 mg, 1.3 mmol) in DCM and H2O was added

    TEMPO (0.3 eq) and 1-chloro-1, 2-benziodoxol-3(1H)-one (CBI) (909 mg, 2.5 eq). Stirring

    was allowed until TLC indicated complete conversion of the starting material to a lower

    running spot (~ 45 min). The reaction mixture was quenched by the addition of 10 ml

    Na2S2O3 solution (10% in H2O). The mixture was then extracted twice with EtOAc (10 ml)

  • 4

    and the combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude

    compound was purified by column chromatography using EtOAc/petroleum ether which

    afforded the pure glucuronic acid (560 mg, 78%). Further the glucuronic acid (279 mg, 0.5

    mmol) was converted into corresponding 2-nitrobenzyl ester 1m by using the general

    procedure (2a) mentioned above. The reaction provided 1m as pale yellow viscous liquid

    (325 mg, 94%).

    1n preparation: The same procedure was adopted as above described for the preparation of

    1m. In the place of 4-bromobenzylbromide, 2-napthylmethylbromide (497mg, 1.1 eq.) was

    used. The compound AC was obtained as yellowish oil (736 mg, 75%). Corresponding

    glucuronic acid was obtained as pale yellow viscous compound (532 mg, 74%). The ester 1n

    was obtained as pale yellow viscous liquid (309 mg, 93%).

    4. Experimental procedure for deprotection of photolabile 2-nitrobenzyl protecting

    group by using a continuous flow photoreactor:

    Approximately 0.005M solution of photolabile protected uronic acid building blocks were

    prepared in methanol and added to the reactor B. The solution was circulated with the help of

    peristaltic pump to the flexi coil with a flow rate 50 RPM which required approx. 3 minutes

    for completing one cycle. Total six cycles were repeated after which the solvent was

    evaporated and purified through column chromatography.

    5. Analytical data for various deprotected uronic acids:

    6. Procedure for synthesis of D-Glucopyranuronic acid, 2,3,4-tris-O-(phenylmethyl)-,2-

    nitrophenylmethyl ester, 1-(2,2,2-trichloroethanimidate) (1aa):

    To a stirred solution of thioglycosides,1h (4g, 5.78 mmol) in 40 ml acetone-water (9:1; v/v)

    was added N-bromosuccinamide (3.09 g, 17.35 mmol) and stirred for 1hour at room

    temperature. After thatthe reaction was quenched with NaHCO3 and evaporated to dryness.

    The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (150mL) and successively washed with

    sat.aq.NaHCO3, water and brine. Organic layer was separated, dried using anhydrous sodium

    sulphate, evaporated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified using silica gel column

    chromatography (2:1 hexane/ EtOAc) to give the corresponding hemiacetal2.43 g (70%) as

    viscous oil. The hemiacetalwas dissolved in dry CH2Cl2 (20mL) and cooled to 0oC under

    argon atmosphere. DBU (0.2 ml,1.33mmol) andtrichloroacetonitrile (3.34 ml, 33.35

    mmol)were added slowly and allowed to stir for 2h. After complete consumption of starting

    material, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and purified by silica gel column

    chromatography (30% EtOAc/ Hexane) with 1% added Et3N to afford 2.23g (90%) as

    colourless foam; α:β isomer (15.31:1); Rf value =0.6 in 20% EtOAc/ Hexane. 1H NMR (500

    7. General procedure for Glycosylation:

    7.a. Glycosylation through Glycosyl Imidate donor: Donor 1aa(0.5 mmol, 1equiv.) and

    acceptor (non- sugar 3 equiv. and sugar 1.2equiv.) were dissolved in freshly dried CH2Cl2

    (8ml)and added to a flame dried round bottomed flask containing activated 4Å molecular

    sieves (300mg) under argon atmosphere. The reaction mixture was then cooled to 0oC to

    which the activator B(C6F5)3 (10mol%) was added. The reaction was stirred further for 1.5 h

    allowing temperature to reach room temperature slowly.Quenching was done by the addition

    of Et3N and filtered through Celite. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the resulting

    residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to afford the desired glycosylated

    product (78-89%).

    7.b.Glycosylation through thioglycoside donor: Typical NIS/TfOH-promoted

    glycosylation procedure: A mixture of glycosyl donor (1h)(0.5 mmol, 1equiv.), glycosyl

    acceptor (3 equiv.), and freshly activated molecular sieves (4℃, 300 mg) in CH2Cl2(8.0 mL)

    was stirred under argon for 1 h. The solution was cooled to – 78 °C and NIS (1.1equiv.) and

    TfOH (10mol %) were added. The reaction was slowly allowed to reach 0 °C. Upon

    completion, the reaction was quenched by adding Et3N. The solid was filtered off and the

    filtrate was washed with 1 M HCl, sat. NaHCO3 solution, 10% Na2S2O3and brine. The

    organic layer was separated, dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo. The

    residue was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel to afford the

    corresponding glycoside with 52% yield.
