Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)95508-4

Block synthesis of an octasaccharide, β-(1-3) linked tetramer of N-acetyllactosamine, is reported.Intermediate di- and tetrasaccharides were converted either into trichloroacetimidates acting as glycosyl donors or into vicinal diols acting as glycosyl acc
