title: Synthesis of an alpha-(2,3)-Sialylated, Complex-Type Undecasaccharide.
abstract: Only two building blocks were necessary to provide efficient access to the complex undecasaccharide 1 by means of two stereo- and regioselective glycosylation reactions. Stereocontrolled p-methoxybenzyl-assisted beta-mannosylation afforded the critical beta-mannoside linkage in 1, which is a constituent of the human glycoproteins follitropin and gonadotropin.
