1. A stereoselective method for producing a protected carbohydrate-based surfactant of the formula:
![]() said method comprising: contacting an enantiomerically enriched alcohol compound of the formula:
![]() with a protected carbohydrate under conditions sufficient to form a covalent bond between said carbohydrate and said compound of Formula A to produce said protected carbohydrate-based surfactant of Formula I, wherein
a carbohydrate of said protected carbohydrate is selected from the group consisting of a monosaccharide, a disaccharide, and a trisaccharide;
Y1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ethylenyl, ethynyl, halide, —SH, —NH2, and —CO2Rs;
