Abstract
As a reagent for fabrication of carbohydrate-based functional materials, we prepared a photo-reactive fluorescent glycosyl reagent carrying α-mannoside and 4-azidophenyl group in our previous fluorescent β- peptide skeleton. The reagent increased fluorescence upon UV-irradiation in methanol, demonstrating its high potential utility.
