title: Synthesis of a tetrasaccharide substrate of heparanase.
abstract: A tetrasaccharide, corresponding to the heparan sulfate heparanase substrate, namely beta-D-GlcA(2S)-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GlcN(NS,6S)-(1-->4)-beta-D-GlcA-(1-->4)-alpha-D-GlcN(NS,6S)-OMe, was synthesized in a convergent manner via coupling of a pair of the disaccharide building blocks as a key step.
