title: An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of beta-D-Arap-(1-->2)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->3)-beta-D-Galp-(1-->4)-alpha-D-Manp, a tetrasaccharide fragment of Leishmania major lipophosphoglycan.
abstract: A tetrasaccharide fragment of Leishmania major lipophosphoglycan (which seems to be involved in a biological mechanism for the parasite transmission) has been synthesised using the thioglycoside, trichloroacetimidate and halide-exchange glycosylation procedures and step-wise chain elongation strategy.
