Various poly‐ and oligosaccharides having a well‐defined structure have successfully been synthesized via enzymatic polymerization of glycosyl fluoride monomers. All of the reaction proceeded under perfect control of regio‐ and stereochemistry. The relative direction of the synthetic cellulose (parallel or antiparallel) could be controlled in vitro in the enzyme‐promoted propagation system, and based on these findings, a new concept “allos‐selectivity” has been proposed.
