The title disaccharide, 2-(2-(2-[(2-ethoxy-3,4-dioxocyclobut-1-en-1-yl) amino]ethoxy}ethoxy}ethyl 2-O-(3,6-dideoxy-α-L-xylo-hexopyranosyl)-β- D-galactopyranoside cyclic 4,6-(potassium phosphate) (2), was synthesized from the two isomeric linker-equipped galactose acceptors 9 and 10, obtained by phosphorylation of 2-[2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl 3-O-benzyl-β-D- galactopyranoside (8). which were glycosylated with ethyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-3,6- dideoxy-1-thio-β-L-xylo-hexopyranoside (12; Scheme). Mainly the fully protected α-(1 → 2)-linked products 13a and 14a were formed. Catalytic hydrogenolysis/hydrogenation effected global deprotection, thereby removing the chirality at the P-atom. and simultaneously converted the azido group in the linker to an amino group (→15). Final treatment with diethyl squarate (=3,4-diethoxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione) gave target compound 2, amenable for conjugation to proteins.
