Reiterative intramolecular glycosylation supported by a rigid spacer

This paper describes a synthesis of trisaccharide 1 by reiterative intramolecular glycosidation with 5-(bromomethyl)-2-methylbenzoic acid (5a) as starting material for the generation of a rigid spacer. Intramolecular glycosidation of donor-acceptor-tethered compound 24 yielded disaccharide 25. Transesterification of 25 afforded 26, which generated a new linking centre for the next spacer. Repetition of the previous cycle on 26 yielded trisaccharide 1, which again presents an extension point for the synthesis of higher saccharides. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003.
