title: Syntheses of Lewis(x) and dimeric Lewis(x): construction of branched oligosaccharides by a combination of preactivation and reactivity based chemoselective one-pot glycosylations.
abstract: Two asymmetrically branched oligosaccharides, LewisX and dimeric LewisX, were assembled in one pot with high yields and exclusive regio- and stereoselectivities. p-Tolyl thioglycosides were utilized as the sole type of building blocks, thus simplifying the overall synthetic design. The reactivity-independent nature of the preactivation based method allows modular assembly of the dimeric LewisX octasaccharide without the need for tedious protective group manipulation to achieve exact anomeric reactivities.
