A new strategy for oligosaccharide assembly exploiting cyclohexane-1,2-diacetal methodology: An efficient synthesis of a high mannose type nonasaccharide

Article abstract of DOI:10.1002/chem.19970030315

The high-mannose nonasaccharide 1 is part of the glycoprotein gp 120 of the viral coat of HIV-1. The mannan portion of this triantennary glycan was prepared by a number of consecutive glycosidation steps without the need for any protecting-group manipulat
