title: Synthesis and Structure of Cyclic Trisaccharide with Expanded Glycosidic Linkages.
abstract: A new cyclic trisaccharide is synthesized by cycloglycosylation of a linear trisaccharide, modified with hydroxymethyl moiety at C4 of glucopyranose moiety. The cyclic trisaccharide possesses a rarely observed perfect trigonal symmetry in the P3 space group, in a narrow cone shape, and a brick-wall type arrangement of molecules in the solid state, and exhibits a significantly enhanced binding affinity to 1-aminoadamantane in aqueous solution.
