Solid phase synthesis of oligosaccharides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4039(96)01020-9

An efficient and stereocontrolled solid-phase chemical synthesis of oligosaccarides using a new type of insoluble support (a copolymer of polyethylene glycol and polystyrene) is described. Several Lewis acids were tested as activators of the trichloroacetimidate 12, used as glycosyl donor, in the dimer 13 formation.
