A straightforward synthesis of the tetrasaccharide repeating unit of the O-antigen of Escherichia coli O16 has been achieved following a sequential glycosylation strategy. A minimum number of steps was used for the synthesis of the target compound involving a one-pot glycosylation and a protecting group manipulation. All intermediate reactions afford their products in high yield, and the glycosylation steps are stereoselective.
通过顺序糖基化策略,成功合成了大肠杆菌O16型O-抗原的四糖重复单元。在合成目标化合物时,使用了最少的步骤,包括一锅法糖基化和保护基操作。所有中间反应产物的收率都很高,糖基化步骤具有立体选择性。
