Convergent synthesis of a beta-(1-->3)-mannohexaose.
An as yet unknown beta-(1-->3)-mannohexaose has been synthesized by a block route involving the coupling of two trisaccharides. Comparison of three closely related attempted mannohexaose syntheses reinforces the influence of subtle matching and/or mismatching interactions on the outcome of convergent oligosaccharide synthesis.
