Efficient and high yielding stereoselective assembly of the tetrasaccharyl cap region of the lipophosphoglycan from the protozoan parasite Leishmania using the n-pentenyl glycoside protocol is described in this paper. Both convergent and linear syntheses lead to the protected tetrasaccharide 14; however, the convergent assembly is more efficient in terms of product recovery. Regioselective reductive cleavage of benzylidene acetal 4 with triethylsilane-trifluoroacetic acid system liberates the required C-4 OH in excellent yield, without affecting the resident chloroacetate functionality.
