Carbohydrate modifications are believed to strongly affect the immunogenicity of glycans. Capsularpolysaccharides (CPS) from bacterial pathogens are frequently equipped with a pyruvate that can be placed across the 4,6‐, 3,4‐, or 2,3‐positions. A trans‐2,3‐linked pyruvate is present on the CPS of the Gram‐positive bacterium Streptococcuspneumoniaeserotype4 (ST4), a pathogen responsible for pneumococcal

A convergent chemical synthesis of a pentasaccharide found in the O-specific polysaccharide of Escherichia coli O4.K3, O4:K6, and O4:K12 has been achieved in excellent yield. A [3+2] block synthetic strategy has been adopted to couple a disaccharide donor 11 with a trisaccharide acceptor 10 for the construction of the pentasaccharide derivative 12 which on deprotection furnished target pentasaccharide 1 as its 4-methoxyphenyl glycoside Disaccharide thioglycoside donor 11 and trisaccharide acceptor 10 were prepared from suitably protected monosaccharide intermediates Yields were excellent in all steps.
