Abstract

A protected tetrasaccharide 13 derived from the mucin oligosaccharides surrounding oocytes of Xenopus laevis, was prepared by a two directional glycosylation methodology whereby an immobilized thioglycosyl donor 3 was coupled in solution in a regioselective manner with an acceptor 4 that has two hydroxyls of differing reactivity. High regioselectivity was achieved when MPEG was used as a polymeric support, whereas site-site reactions occurred when TentaGel® was employed for immobilization.
