play a crucial role in mycobacterial cell-wall biosynthesis and are potentialnew drug targets for the treatment of tuberculosis. Herein, we describe the synthesis of alpha-(1-->2)- and alpha-(1-->6)-linked mannopyranosyl disaccharides possessing a 5-azidonaphthlene-1-sulfonamidoethyl group as photoaffinity probes for active-site labeling studies of mannosyltransferases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
