A new strategy for the synthesis of the core trisaccharide of asparagine-linked sugar chains

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(96)02034-5

The core trisaccharide common to all asparagine-linked glycoprotein olisosaccharides was synthesized using two novel processes: 1) regioselective acetylation using lipase, and 2) inversion of the C-2 hydroxyl group of the glucose residue in a glucosyl chi
