title: Synthesis of structurally diverse and defined bivalent mannosides on saccharide scaffolding.
abstract: [Structure: see text] The synthesis of bivalent mannosides by the grafting of alpha-D-mannopyranoside onto monosaccharide acceptors and conjugation to terephthalic acid or phenylenediamine is described. Computational methods were used to predict accessible orientations and distances between the mannose units.
