In one aspect, the disclosure relates to a facile strategy to introduce electron-deficient aryl sulfate diesters to silylated hydroxyl groups of carbohydrates and amino acids, among other substrates, wherein selective hydrolysis and the removal of an electron-deficient aromatic group allows for the efficient generation of sulfated carbohydrates, peptides, and other compounds. The incorporation of electron-deficient aryl sulfate diesters in the early stage of the synthesis of glycans, peptides, and the like, disclosed herein avoids time-consuming protecting group manipulations, simplifies the purification of sulfated products, and improves the overall yield and efficiency. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

A novel delivery system for drugs, and especially macromolecules such as proteins or oligonucleotides through biological membranes is provided, and specifically delivery of siRNA.
