First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A compound having a structure according to Formula VI a stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutical salt thereof, wherein R 3 and R 4 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a trisaccharide, and a polysaccharide, wherein each of the monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide or polysaccharide is bound via an anomeric carbon to the oxygen at C-1 and/or C-3 in Formula VI; m is zero, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18; a chiral center exists at C-3; and the chiral center at C-3 has an R configuration or an S configuration; and R 3 and R 4 are not both H. 2. The compound of claim 1 , wherein neither R 3 nor R 4 are H. 3. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises a pentose sugar, a hexose sugar, or a mixture thereof. 4. The compound of claim 3 , wherein the disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises a hexose sugar selected from allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, iodose, galactose, talose, and a mixture of any two or more thereof. 5. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises a furanose sugar, a pyranose sugar, or a mixture of any two or more thereof. 6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 and R 4 are different monosaccharides. 7. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 and R 4 are the same monosaccharide. 8. A composition comprising the compound of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a personal care product, a pharmaceutical, a food product, or an agricultural formulation. 9. The composition of claim 8 , further comprising: a compound according to Formula V wherein n is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14; R 1 and R 2 are independently selected from H, a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, a trisaccharide, and a polysaccharide, wherein each of the monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide is bound at an anomeric carbon; the double bond is in a (Z) or an (E) configuration; a chiral center exists at C-3; and the chiral center at C-3 has an R configuration or an S configuration. 10. The composition of claim 9 , wherein: one or both of R 1 and R 2 is not H; and one or both of R 3 and R 4 is not H. 11. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the compound according to Formula V is an alkyl polyglycoside and the compound according to Formula VI is an alkyl polyglycoside. 12. The compound of claim 1 , wherein m is 3, 5, 7, or 9. 13. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide is bound at the anomeric carbon via an α-glycosidic bond or a β-glycosidic bond. 14. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the monosaccharide is a pentose sugar, a hexose sugar, a furanose sugar, or a pyranose sugar. 15. The compound of claim 14 , wherein the monosaccharide is a hexose sugar selected from allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, iodose, galactose, and talose. 16. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the chiral center at C-3 has an R configuration. 17. The compound of claim 1 , wherein R 3 is glucose. 18. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound is an alkyl polyglycoside. 19. The compound of claim 1 , wherein: the disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises an α-glycosidic linkage or a β-glycosidic linkage; or the trisaccharide or polysaccharide comprises an α-glycosidic linkage, a β-glycosidic linkage, or mixtures thereof. 20. The composition of claim 9 , wherein: the monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises a pentose sugar or a hexose sugar, or a mixture thereof; the monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises furanose sugars, pyranose sugars, or a mixture of any two or more thereof; the monosaccharide, disaccharide, trisaccharide, or polysaccharide comprises allose, altrose, glucose, mannose, gulose, iodose, galactose, talose, furanose, pyranose, or xylose, or a mixture of any two or more thereof; or R 1 is glucose and R 3 is glucose.
