title: Efficient synthesis of a C-analogue of the immunogenic bacterial glycolipid BbGL2.
abstract: Synthesis of a C-analogue of bacterial glycolipid BbGL2 is reported using Grignard reaction of in situ generated beta-galactosyl iodide and subsequent olefin cross metathesis reaction of C-vinyl galactoside as key steps. [reaction: see text]
