Synthesis of the methyl and 1-octyl glycosides of the P-antigen tetrasaccharide (globotetraose).
The methyl and 1-octyl beta-glycosides of the P-antigen tetrasaccharide [globotetraose, beta-D-GalpNAc-(1----3)-alpha-D-Galp-(1----4)-beta-D-Galp-(1----4) -D-Glc] were synthesised from a tetrasaccharide precursor, prepared using methyl disaccharide 1-thioglycosides as intermediates. In the key glycosidation with silver triflate, HO-2 was used as an alpha-directing group in the glycosyl bromide.
