The synthesis of the title glycolipid is reported. Comparison of the electrospray and high-energy collision-induced dissociation mass spectra of the synthetic material with those reported for the isolate confirm the structure of this unusual antigenic substance with its modified isoprenoid chain.

[reaction: see text] Tetrabutylammonium benzyl dihydrophytylphosphate was coupled to S-phenyl 2,3-di-O-benyl-4, 6-O-benzylidene-1-thio-alpha-D-mannopyranoside S-oxide on activation with triflic anhydride in toluene at -78 degrees C to give the corresponding beta-mannosyl phosphate in 56% yield with no detectable formation of the alpha-anomer. Treatment with sodium in liquid ammonia then afforded the unprotected beta-mannosyl phosphoisoprenoid.
