Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(94)84079-2

A stereocontrolled, convergent synthesis is described of the linear octasaccharide methyl glycoside α-L-Rhap-(1 -> 2)-α-D-Galp-(1 -> 3)-α-GlcpNAc-(1 -> 3)-α-L-Rhap-(1 -> 3)-α-L-Rhap-(1 -> 2)-α-D-Galp-(1 -> 3)-α-D-GlcpNAc-(1 -> 3)-α-L-Rhap-OMe (11), which
