T. Zhu et Gj. Boons, 2-DIRECTIONAL, CONVERGENT SYNTHESIS OF A PENTASACCHARIDE THAT IS INVOLVED IN THE HYPERACUTE REJECTION RESPONSE IN XENOTRANSPLANTATION FROM PIG TO MAN, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (5), 1998, pp. 857-861
A novel, highly convergent, regioselective glycosylation methodology b
ased on differences in reactivity between hydroxy groups of a glycosyl
donor and an acceptor has been employed for the synthesis of a pentas
accharide that is involved in the hyperacute rejection response in xen
otransplantation from pig to man.
