A xylosylated rhamnose pentasaccharide, alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-[beta-L-Xylp-(1-->2)-] [beta-L-Xylp-(1-->4)-]alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->3)-L-Rhap, the repeating unit of the O-specific side chain of the lipopolysaccharides from the reference strains for Stenotrophomonas maltophilia serogroup O18, was synthesized by a highly regio- and stereoselective procedure. Thus coupling of methyl rhamnopyranoside (9) with 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (8) gave the (1-->3)-linked disaccharide (10), and subsequent benzoylation and deacetylation afforded the disaccharide acceptor 12. Condensation of 12 with 8 yielded methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->3)-2,4-di-O-benzoyl-alpha-L-rhamnopyranoside (13). Coupling of 13 with 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-alpha-L-xylopyranosyl trichloroacetimidate (4) followed by deprotection gave the target pentasaccharide (15).
