Abstract

For over a century, naturally occurring cyclodextrins (CDs) have been investigated intensively and extensively. CDs possess inherently stable chiralities, which render them versatile players in diverse arenas of technology. Although naturally occurring CDs can be mass-produced by the enzymatic modification of amylose, their mirror-images have, however, remained inaccessible. Here we report the syntheses of three mirror-image CDs-namely, alpha-, beta- and gamma-l-CDs, which are composed of six, seven and eight alpha-1,4-linked l-glucopyranosyl residues, respectively. Hallmarks of their syntheses include the highly diastereoselective installations of multiple contiguous 1,2-cisl-glucopyranosidic linkages, the rapid assembly of linear oligosaccharides employing one-pot glycosylation strategies and three efficient diastereoselective cyclizations. The structures and inherent chiralities of all three synthetic l-CDs have been established unambiguously by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and induced electronic circular dichroism spectroscopy. The availability of l-CDs has enabled the elucidation of an unprecedented chiral self-sorting of a racemic modification of beta-CDs in the solid state and an investigation of the chiral recognition of enantiomeric fenchone by alpha-l-CD. This research identifies a missing piece of the cyclodextrin jigsaw and sets the stage for scientists to explore the mirror-image world of naturally occurring CDs. The making of mirror-image versions of naturally occurring cyclodextrins (CDs) is challenging and constitutes an untouched goal of the CD community. Now a concise approach is developed for the diastereoselective synthesis of three mirror-image CDs in an efficient and scalable manner.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
