Sialic acids are essential mediators of biological processes involving carbohydrate recognition. A major determinant of sialic acid recognition is the N‐5 substituent, which can be an N ‐acetyl (human), N ‐glycolyl (non‐human), or amine (cancer associated) functionality. Access to homogeneous sialosides with distinct substitution patterns is essential to determine structure–activity relationships. Herein, we report a divergent chemical approach to enable the synthesis of a library of specifically substituted sialosides by using a single sialic acid building block.
