title: Facile synthesis of a comb-like mannohexaose: a trimer of the disaccharide repeating unit of the cell-wall mannans of Aphanoascus mephitatus and related species.
abstract: An efficient method for the preparation of a comb-like mannohexaose having alpha-(1-->6) and alpha-(1-->2) linkages has been described using 6-O-acetyl-2-O-benzoyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl-alpha-D-mannopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate as the key glycosyl donor in an 'inverse Schmidt' procedure.
