Octyl 2-O-α-D-mannopyranosyl-α-D-mannopyranoside, its 6'-phosphate and the corresponding 6'-methyl phosphodiester have been chemically synthesized.The latter compound was prepared using an H-phosphonate intermediate.These structures are for use as enzyme substrates and reference standards in a study on the biosynthesis of phosphorylated N-linked glycoproteins in the amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum.
