title: Practical synthesis of the disaccharide epitope, D-galactopyranosyl-alpha-1,3-D-galactopyranose, by using 1,2;5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-alpha-D-galactofuranose as the glycosyl acceptor.
abstract: D-Galactosyl-alpha-1,3-D-galactopyranose (1) was chemically prepared in a good yield by coupling phenyl 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside (5) or 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (8) with 1,2:5,6-di-O-cyclohexylidene-alpha-D-galactofuranose (3) with subsequent de-O-benzylation and de-O-cyclohexylidenation of the resulting protected alpha1,3-disaccharide.
