A stereoconvergent approach for the oligosaccharide segment of glycopeptidolipid antigen of Mycobacterium avium serotype 4, commonly occurs in AIDS patients, is described. A stereoconvergent approach to the tetrasaccharide segment of Mycobacterium avium serotype 4 is described. 4-O-Me-α-L-Rhap-(1→4)-2-O-Me-α-L-Fucp-(1→3)-a-L-Rhap- (1→2)-6-deoxy-L-Talose.
