Facile synthesis of carbohydrate conjugates is attracting much attention for research and development of novel biomaterials with biological functions, as it has become increasingly clear that glycoproteins and glycolipids play essential roles in all living systems. In particular, a diverse array of glycolipids composed of hydrophilic carbohydrates and hydrophobic lipids are involved in various cellular communications.[1, 2] Such carbohydrates exist outside the phospholipid bilayers of cell membranes, and are involved in cell–cell interactions via specific recognition of lectins and other carbohydrates. Of various candidate sugars for functional glycoconjugates, lactose (Lac, β-D-Gal-1, 4-D-Glc) has become of central interest, due to its typical and ubiquitous structure in such bioprocesses.[3, 4] Hence, Lac is one of the major carbohydrates for glycomaterial engineering.[5]Many types of artificial Lac conjugates and synthesis routes have been developed. Schmidt etal. reported the chemical synthesis of a biomimetic glycolipid containing Lac oligomers, and the unique “polymer-like” swelling behavior that is found in glycocalyx.[6] However, conventional chemical synthesis of glycoconjugates in general requires complex and precise control, for example, stepwise protection and deprotection of many equivalent hydroxy groups. For that reason, enzymatic synthesis approaches have become the focus for facile and desirable methods for the design of functional glycoconjugates.[7] Tanaka etal. recently reported a smart one-step synthetic route for the endo-β-glucanase-catalyzed synthesis of oligosaccharides from 4, 6-dimethoxy-1, 3, 5-triazin-2-yl-β-lactoside as a glycosyl donor, which is synthesized insitu.[8] This approach may provide a solution for aqueous glycosynthesis, but it is difficult to apply to glycoconjugation of hydrophobic compounds. Mori etal. reported a two-phase (organic–aqueous) transglycosylation using lipid-coated β-D-galactosidase, enabling the conjugation of galactose (Gal) to hydrophobic acceptors soluble in an organic phase.[9] In this system, the yield of products was higher than for the conventional enzymatic method. However, it requires extremely long reaction times (eg, 8 days) and is not sufficiently efficient. Various syntheses of Lac-ceramide-mimetic glycolipids have also been reported,
