b-D-Galactofuranosyl-(1 --> 3)-D-galactopyranose (1), the repeating unit of the backbone structure of the O-antigenic polysaccharide present in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of the genus Klebsiella, has been efficiently synthesized using 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidine-alpha-D-galactofuranose (3) as the glycosyl acceptor and 2,3,5,6-tetra-0-benzoyl-p-D-galactofuranosyl trichloroacetimidate (6) as the glycosyl donor with TMSOTf as catalyst by the well-known Schmidt glycosylation method. The preparation of 3 was improved by increasing the ratio of DMF to acetone and employing a solid-supported catalyst. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
