A tetrasaccharide, alpha -L-Rhap-(1 -->3)-alpha -L-Rhap-(1 -->2)-alpha -L-Rhap-(1 --> 2)-L-Rhap, the common and major structure of the repeating unit of the O-antigenic polysaccharide of a strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas holci was synthesized as its methyl and octyl glycosides. Selective 3-O-glycosylation of allyl alpha -L-rhamnopyranoside with 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate gave allyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-alpha -L-rhamnopyranoside (3). Benzoylation, deallylation, and trichloroacetimidation afforded 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 --> 3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (6). Self condensation of 3,4-di-O-benzoyl-beta -L-rhamnopyranose 1,2-methyl orthoester or 1,2-octyl orthoester gave methyl or octyl 2-O-acetyl-3,4-di-O-benzoyl-alpha -L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1 -->2)-3,4-di-O-benzOyl-alpha -L-rhamnopyranoside (16 or 17), and subsequent selective deacetylation gave the disaccharide acceptor (18 or 19). Coupling of 6 with 18 (or 19), followed by deacylation in ammonia-saturated methanol, produced the target tetrasacharide. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
