The trisaccharides β-d-Galf-(1→2)-β-d-Galf-(1→4)-d-GlcNAc (5) and β-d-Galp-(1→2)-β-d-Galf-(1→4)-d-GlcNAc (6) constitute novel structures isolated as alditols when released by reductive β-elimination from mucins of Trypanosoma cruzi (Tulahuen strain). Trisaccharides 5 and 6 were synthesized employing the aldonolactone approach. Thus, a convenient d-galactono-1,4-lactone derivative was used for the introduction of the internal galactofuranose and the trichloroacetimidate method was employed for glycosylation reactions. Due to the lack of anchimeric assistance on O-2 of the galactofuranosyl precursor, glycosylation studies were performed under different conditions. The nature of the solvent strongly determined the stereochemical course of the glycosylation reactions when the galactofuranosyl donor was substituted either by 2-O-Galp or 2-O-Galf.
