title: Synthesis of a divalent glycoside of an alpha-galactosyl disaccharide epitope involved in the hyperacute rejection of xenotransplantation.
abstract: 3,6-dioxaoct-1,8-diyl di-(3-O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside) was synthesized for use in research on hyperacute rejection of xenotransplantation. The trichloroacetate method was successfully applied to form stereoselectively the alpha-D-galactosyl linkage under mild reaction conditions and a simple procedure. The divalent O-glycoside was formed from the corresponding trichloroacetimidate in one step with reasonable yield.
