A convenient approach to the synthesis of triglycosyl-2,3-di-O-phytanyl-sn-glycerols will be presented.Special attention will be paid to the use of the following protective groups in carbohydrate chemistry: the 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, the 1,1,3,3-tetraisopropyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl and the o-dibromomethyl benzoyl group.
