In situ activating glycosylation of 6-deoxysugars: Synthesis of O- α-D- fucosyl(1→4)-O-α-D-fucosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-quinovosyl-(1→4)-D-quinovose

The linear tetrasaccharide, α-D-fucopyranosyl-(1→4)-a-D-fucopyranosyl- (1→4)-α-D-quinovopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-quinovopyranose, the sugar cluster of asterosaponin A from the starfish, Asterias amurensis, was synthesized in a convergent manner. We employed an i
