Solid-Phase Synthesis of Oligosaccharides: Construction of a Dodecasaccharide

Abstract

Complicated oligosaccharides such as dodecasaccharide 1 can be constructed by a new solid-phase strategy. The attachment to the polymeric support (gray sphere) is through a photolabile linker (structure I), and thioglycosides serve as carbohydrate donors. Bn=benzyl, Bz=benzoyl.
